One Evening in Frankfurt

Country forums / Western Europe / Germany

Hi Guys,

Three of us have a 25 hour layover in Frankfurt, arriving at 2pm and departing 3pm the next day. Awkward timing, I know. Nonetheless, I'm looking for specific suggestions about how to spend our one evening and the following morning. We are staying in the Gallus area which I understand to be about 15-20 minutes from the airport by taxi. We're mostly interested in seeing 1-2 important sites and experiencing the local food & drink. I've heard about Heidelburg but I think it's a little out of the way given our time crunch. What areas would provide us the best "bang for our buck?" I really appreciate your input!

Mainz, direct connection from the airport. IMO more to offer than Heidelberg that especially is worthwhile a detour because of the castle and the wonderful setting on the river Neckar.

Unique site in Mainz: the Gutenberg museum.

Frankfurt also has a lot to offer http://www.frankfurt.de/sixcms/detail.php?id=317578&_ffmpar[_id_inhalt]=177743
for food and drink go over to Sachsenhausen on the left bank of the Main river, there you find a lot of Appelwein bars most of them have food too.
