The skyline is welcoming one new addition after another, the old town has been modernized and revived, and art is conquering new spaces: Few cities grow and develop as visibly as Frankfurt. Yet it remains as cozy and sociable as in the apple wine taverns of Sachsenhausen. We take our readers through the Main metropolis – and embark on a tour of its nearby and very diverse surroundings: in the spa towns and on the traditional orchards in the Wetterau, in multicultural Offenbach, at Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt, in the Kühkopf nature reserve, in the Brothers Grimm city of Hanau, and at the Seligenstadt monastery. Let yourself be taken along!.
