The Frankfurt City Guides answer what visitors actually ask: which Sachsenhausen tavern pours apple wine the way locals like it, which museums on the river deserve your time, where families go on a grey afternoon, which bars around the station are worth it and which castles and Rhine towns you can reach by train in a morning. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip for every place, ready in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Apfelwein Dax
Willemerstrasse 11, Sachsenhausen
A neighbourhood apple-wine tavern where the regulars outnumber the visitors, with a terrace out back. Order Handkäs mit Musik, the tangy cheese with onions, and finish with a Mispelchen, a small loquat brandy. From the food guide.
Paulskirche
Paulsplatz 11, Altstadt
In 1848 Germany’s first freely elected parliament gathered in this round church, now a memorial to democracy with an exhibition. Entry is free, twenty minutes is enough and the circular hall inside comes as a surprise. From the things to do guide.
Eberbach Abbey
Eltville, 1 hour by train and bus
A Cistercian monastery from the 12th century tucked into a wooded valley, with a Romanesque church, a wine cellar dating from 1220 and the cloister where The Name of the Rose was filmed. Taste a Rheingau Riesling in the wine shop before you leave. From the day trips guide.
Play the trail, then follow the guide
World City Trail’s Frankfurt scavenger hunt, outdoor escape game and audio tour take you through the old town. The guides carry on from there: a sausage lunch in the market hall, apple wine across the river in Sachsenhausen, an afternoon on the Museumsufer or a train to the Rhine the next day.
