Frankfurt Tour & Travel Guide - Tourist Places near Frankfurt

Cologne

A few hours from Frankfurt is Germany’s fourth largest city and its entertainment hub, Cologne. Situated on the river Rhein, the city has an extremely lively arts and culture scene. Germany's oldest city and one of its grandest, Cologne has an old Roman history that is reflected in its spired skyline, massive cathedral, old Roman towers and the opera house. Architecture, museums, theatre and concerts, clubs and shopping- Cologne has it all.

Darmstadt

A little south of Frankfurt is the quaint, picturesque town of Darmstadt. Once the capital of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Grand Dukes used to live in what is now the Schloß Marktplatz. Also the birth place of the last Empress of Russia, Darmstadt is famous for its art nouveau architecture and museums. Visit Castle Frankenstein situated on a hilltop while here.

The Black Forest

Situated in Southwest Germany, this forested mountain range is a mystical and unique location to visit in the country. Also known as Schwarzwald, the name can be traced back to the Romans who referred to the thickly forested mountains as “Black Forest" because the dense growth of conifers blocked out the sunlight. The city of Freiburg is known as the ‘Jewel of the Black Forest’ because it’s the warmest and sunniest part of Germany. Go hiking through the tall trees, indulge in some water sports at the Mummelsee lake, go mountain biking or paragliding to get your fill of thrills.

Frankfurt

Just across the German border, Frankfurt is directly connected to Prague via a short overnight train. Also known as “the Manhattan of Germany”, this business and financial centre is a city with two faces- a competitive financial capital and a city steeped in arts and culture. Museums line the bank of the Main River, gardens and parks are plenty, theatre and opera are everyday affairs, and there’s always a quaint coffee shop to stop at and watch life go by. An impressive skyline and gleaming sky-scrapers define this dynamic metropolis that has emerged from the ashes of World War II and transformed itself into a tourist hub and commercial hot-spot.
