Highlights

A scenic drive takes you through typical Hessian landscapes that most tourists rarely see.

Enjoy a guided tour of the most beautiful areas of the sprawling palace complex and its valuable collection: the impressive Knights' Hall with its weapons, tournament, war and hunting weapons from the 13. to 19. Century. Paintings, armor, sculptures and contemporary furniture. The courtyard and the cannon place. You will be impressed, there is so much to see. A tour through the beautiful old town of Braunfels with half-timbered houses, historic city gates and medieval defensive walls completes the relaxed tour plan.

About Frankfurt

Frankfurt is a river city in Hesse, a financial centre of glass towers beside a rebuilt old town, with museums along the Main and apple-wine taverns.

Frankfurt am Main stands on the river Main, and its cluster of skyscrapers, nicknamed Mainhattan, gives it a skyline unusual for Germany. The old town square, the Römerberg, with its half-timbered houses and the stepped-gable Römer town hall, was reconstructed after the bombing of 1944. The Kaiserdom, a red sandstone cathedral, was the coronation church of Holy Roman emperors, and the Paulskirche saw Germany's first freely elected parliament meet in 1848.

Top-ranked sights in Frankfurt: Römerberg Square, Lake Titisee, Frankfurt Cathedral (Frankfurter Dom).
