Summary and Frequenly Asked Questions:

Frankfurt is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy German culture, history, and cuisine, but its central location also makes it a great base for day trips of the surrounding area. There are countless charming medieval towns just waiting to be explored, with highlights including the ever-popular Rothenburg and the delightful university town of Marburg, but you can also venture into nature at the Black Forest or spend the day shopping at Wertheim Village. If you love wine, you'll want to think about visiting Würzburg, the Rhine Valley, or perhaps the tiny town of Bernkastel-Kues.
