8 Days Best of Germany: Frankfurt Package
Germany
1 / 3
Seven nights in Frankfurt with day trips to medieval towns, Rhine vineyards, and Germany's most famous university city.
Frankfurt sits at the geographic heart of Germany and makes one of Europe's most practical bases for exploring the country's southwest. The city itself balances a modern financial skyline with a beautifully reconstructed Altstadt, the Römerberg square, the Goethe House, and the riverfront Museumsufer are all within walking distance of each other. This eight-day package uses Frankfurt as a hub for four distinctive day trips: the perfectly preserved medieval town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, the Rhine wine village of Rüdesheim with its cable car and Niederwald Monument, the historic university city of Heidelberg with its famous ruined castle, and a morning at the ExperimInta ScienceCenter, Frankfurt's hands-on science museum. Accommodation is at Holiday Inn Express Frankfurt City or similar, on a bed and breakfast basis.
