It's hard to imagine the history and German "Gemütlichkeit" that is so readily accessible from the hip and vibrant "big city" of Frankfurt. Stroll through Medieval villages, raise a glass of Riesling in the famous town of Rüdesheim on the Rhine, immerse yourself in history in the cities of Aschaffenburg and Darmstadt, luxuriate in the mineral spas of Bad Homburg, and enjoy a unique wine tasting experience in Hochheim. There's a wealth of experiences awaiting the visitor to the Frankfurt Rhine Main region of Germany.
