Hanau is best known as the birthplace of the Grimm brothers, the fairytale authors who have enchanted millions of children across the world, and it can be a truly magical place to visit if you have any fond childhood memories of Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, or Snow White. A festival dedicated to the brothers' stories takes place every summer, but outside of this time, visitors are only reminded of their legacy by a monument in the main town square.
