A yearly extravaganza ending in a massive firework show. Don't miss the dragon boat racing and, of course, plenty to eat and drink, this is, after all, in Germany. For a non-mainstream music entertainment I always go to the RadioX stage (below the Holbein foot bridge), always something new and interesting to hear.

It's basically a street full of museums in Frankfurt, along the Rhine. They have museums with for…read morepaintings, sculptures, architecture and other things as well. My wife and I went to the Staedel and it was neat. A tip, purchase a Frankfurt pass so you can get into these either free or half off.

Just across town, the tall twin spires of the Einhard Basilika pierce the sky. Behind them, the…read moreshorter, more rounded octagonal "Angel's Tower" rises up from the basilica's sloping black tile roof. Built in 830 AD, local lore has it that the basilika was built from the stones of the ancient Roman citadel situated here. The builder was, of course, our old friend Einhard, whose remains are interred inside the basilica. Einhard, it turns out, was quite a lad--local lore has it that he eloped with Charlemagne's daughter, Emma. The emperor eventually came across her when she served him pancakes in an inn. Behind the basilika you enter an expansive 7.5-acre garden. It's surrounded by a long stone wall. Hedi tells me, "The Benedictine monks used plant and herbal medicines extensively and also grew their own produce. The garden still grows fruit trees, and vegetables and herbs that, in their day, were used in the monks' kitchen". There are also farm animals here like sheep, pigs, chickens and so on. Unfortunately a lot of these garden areas are closed for renovation at the moment. There is a cafe located in the garden grounds and there is a shop you can buy things produced by the monastery. Unfortunately the shop was closed due to the renovation. There are many events that happen here throughout the year and is a location for weddings as well. Beautiful place to visit when in town. It's open till 8pm most days.

The only thing I missed was the explanations and descriptions of the experiments translated into English. A very good place to spend some funny hours with family or friends.

Terrible, a living nightmare. Me and my partner went there, because we've been to Ontario Science…read moreMusem, and that was awesome. Unfortunately this place is nothing like it, it's like a science fare at some school. Everything is really shallow, and the only explanations available are in German. In my opinion it's just enough to entertain a 5 year old. We stayed less then 15 minutes, and we saw the 3 floors (the last floor was closed). Terrible experience.
