The most convenient way to get downtown is by taxi, which takes about 20 minutes. Alternatively, you can take the train or S-Bahn (light rail). The ICE train will take you directly to Frankfurt's Hauptbahnhof (main railway station) in about 12 minutes, whereas the S8 and S9 trains, which travel to Offenbach or Hanau, will take about 16 minutes.

Begin your journey with a visit to the Römer, which has functioned as Frankfurt's city hall for nearly 600 years. It is a historic square in the city centre, surrounded by majestic mediaeval structures. Since the 15th century, the Römer has served as Frankfurt's municipal hall and emblem. You may walk about the plaza and appreciate the gorgeous architecture, or enter the Römer Museum to learn about the building's history. The area also hosts a number of events and festivals throughout the year, making it a dynamic and exciting place to explore local culture.

Frankfurt is also noted for its stunning modern architecture, with the Commerzbank Tower, Germany's tallest structure, serving as one of its most prominent symbols. You may join a guided tour to learn about the building's construction and history, or simply enjoy its contemporary design from the ground level.

History buffs will appreciate the 16th-century Goethe House museum, which is Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's birthplace and former residence. It was also where he penned some of his best-known works. There are several additional museums across Frankfurt, the most important of which are the Schirn Kunsthalle, Historisches Museum, and Archäologischer Garten.

We also recommend going out to the outskirts of Frankfurt and seeing the Goetheturm, a 43-meter-high wooden tower that offers panoramic views of the town and the lush greenery of the surrounding forest. While here, climb to the top of the tower or have a picnic in the nearby park, which also has playgrounds and a zoo.

An hour away from the capital is the scenic town of Heidelberg, where you may take the funicular to Heidelberg Castle, which holds the world's largest wine barrel, the Heidelberg Tun. From there, take in the beautiful views of the Neckar River and the town below. Visitors may spend the day seeing the city's historic landmarks, such as Heidelberg Castle and the Old Bridge, eating local food, and admiring the stunning countryside. It also has Germany's oldest university, making it a cultural and educational powerhouse.
