bed & breakfast Frankfurt: private rooms, rooms for fair visitors, apartments,
| |||

Many visitor experience Frankfurt only in passing - although those who stay discover, besides the skyline and banks, a different, lively Frankfurt with picturesque countryside. And Darmstadt, known for its art deco, is a charming destination. Accompany me on a little tour...
My favorite part of town is the Stöffche quarter, known for more than 250 pubs and the "Appelwoi" (apple wine) served there, as well as "Handkäs mit Musik" (hand cheese with music, a hearty cheese snack). Those who come in the early evening will meet the locals and hear anecdotes about such original Frankfurter figures as "Quetschelilli" and "Bretzel (Pretzel) Karl". On weekends and holidays the Ebbelwoi Express (an old street car) travels hourly between 1:32 p.m. and 5:32 p.m. between Sachsenhausen and Bornheim center and back. Included in the fare is a packet of apple wine or juice and pretzels.
The Museumsufer (museum riverbank), is comparable to Hamburg's Alster, decorated with parks and gardens, which invite one to stroll, debate, or nap. Eleven of the 20 museums can be found on the right and left banks of the Main river. Among others, the Icon Museum, Museum for Kunsthandwerk (artisan handwork), Völkerkunde (Ethnology), the German Filmmuseum, the German Architektmuseum, the Museum for Post & Telekommunikation, and the Städelche Kunstinstitut (art institute).
The Grüneberg park and the palm garden are beautiful, and a feast for the eyes in every season with the many rare plants. One can get free horticultural advice from the experts. And not to forget, also here is the zoo of the famous German zoologist Professor Grzimek!
The most important square in Frankfurt is the Römerberg. The city was founded here over 1200 years ago, and German Kings and Kaisers have been crowned in this square since the mid-16th century. It's only a few minutes from here to the Paulskirche and the Goethe House, as well as the Kleinmarkthalle (little market hall) and the Kornmarkt (grain market) where one finds the wonderful Cafe Wacker.
One should not miss a stroll through the "Zeil", Germany's most exclusive shopping district, and through the "Fressgass", Frankfurts most feudal promenade with restaurants, delicatessen, elegant bistros and the traditional cafe Schwille.
In the evenings, there are almost too many choices, with concerts in the Festhalle, in the Waldstadion, or in the Alten Oper (old opera), where everything is produced but opera. Or you can go to the famous Variete "Tiger Palast," which also has an excellent menu and wine list.
The Frankfurt countryside is very enticing. You are quickly in the nearby Taunus region, with the Feldberg, in Rüsselsheim, or in romantic Spessart.
The organization "Liebenswertes Frankfurt" (Lovely, lively Frankfurt) gives tours in different languages every two hours (by prior agreement) through the city center and shows Frankfurt from its personal perspective. Every 3rd Saturday in the month there is a tour (no registration required), at 2 p.m. beginning in the Cafe Hauptwache.
Should you, nonetheless, only stop in passing, in the vicinity of the airport I can recommend, as either the beginning or end of your German tour, the restaurant "Alte Oberförsterei" in Klesterbach, with its authentic ambience and excellent dishes.
For a longer stay, or a short stop, I can offer my guest rooms in private homes. Whether in the city or near the airport, I have a wide array of rooms from which to choose.

A traditional center of art, culture, business and science, Darmstadt is inviting not only for seminars and conferences. This Art Deco town offers, with its theaters, museums, and art exhibitions, as well as a car-free pedestrian zone in the city center, a varied program with lots on offer for every taste. The close-by Bergstrasse, the Odenwald (forest), the Rhein, Main, and Neckar rivers entice vacationers. There are over 20,000 students at the Technical University and in two Fachhochschulen (colleges). Monitoring of outer space is part of the intellectual life of Darmstadt as is granting the Georg-Büchner Prize of the German Academy for Language and Poetry.

In the county seat Hofheim you will find well-marked hiking trails, forest teaching trails, grill areas and inns, among those a historical "wander" trail on the Kapellenberg. From the look-out tower there is a wonderful view of the high Taunus mountains, the Main river plain, and on clear days, the Odenwald forest.
On the south face of the Taunus mountains you can relax in the Bad Soden healing baths, with sprawling parks, and many different sources of medicinal healing waters, such as the champagne springs in Wilhelmspark, the milk or warm springs at the Franzensbader square, or the new bubbling springs at the old Kurpark.
Hochheim, the wine and champagne town, is home toone of the largest vinter's associations of the Rheingau, where the winemakers offer their wares directly on the street, and where in November, the 500 year old Hochheimer market is held, the largest harvest market in the region. Every Taunus visitor should see the Hochheimer old town.
Hattersheim and Eschborn are extremely well-situated, with two Autobahn connections, a harbor and docks for passenger ships on the Main River shipping lanes, and a fast route to the Rhein-Main airport. Last but not least, the location of these towns has made them an important industrial headquarters.
Eschborn is the home of more than 80 high-tech companies. These concerns emphasize consulting and training as well as business.
