Compared to the other cities, Frankfurt's market was on the larger end of the scale and extends for several blocks beginning near the river and winding its way up through the city in no real discernible pattern. Unlike other markets, it also has much more of a focus on food and drink with a broad variety of items beyond just the traditional foods of the region as was characteristic of other markets. Because of its meandering layout, it's a bit more difficult to be sure you've seen it all. Like all the markets, the centerpiece is a giant lighted Christmas tree (white lights only) and this market is set amidst a scenic square of reconstructed half-timbered houses making for a beautiful backdrop. Not my favorite market despite its scenic nature and for me not a destination I would seek out on a Christmas market vacation, but worth a visit if you happen to be in town during Christmas.

Such a BEAUTIFUL Christmas market, located at Romerburg, the traditional European town square. This…read moreis a must to visit! The Christmas market is quite expansive, going on for several city blocks. It would be difficult to not feel holiday cheer when walking along the stalls. I know the festival is focused on Christmas, but people of all religions would enjoy the this event. There are carousel rides for the kids, fun music, and the best of all, lots of food and beverages! Carnivores have a wide variety of choices, with huge grills full of sausages. I heard from several meat-eaters that the food is delicious. They have offerings for those of us who do not eat meat. Of course, lots and lots of french fries smothered in mayo, as well as sweet and savory crepes. The cheese crepes are so good, served on a big wafer cookie instead of a plate (smart idea.) The best part, though, is by far the yummy varieties of beverages. Since it super cold in the winter, the hot Gluhwein is a real winner. Mulled wine, hot enough to warm you up but not boiling to where the alcohol content is diminished. The mix of Apfelwein and Gluhwein, served with a slice of orange, is also tasty. There are also many stalls with bottled alcohol for sale. Some of the best I tried were varieties of alcohol made with honey. Rum, whiskey, even grappa! The employee gave out samples and it was easy to spend a lot of money there! Early evening is the best time to visit if you hate large crowds. Make sure you secure your valuables. There are many pick-pocketers, so men need to keep wallets in front pockets and women need to wear purses that cross their bodies. Our friends experienced some Syrian refugees literally sliding their hands in their back pockets. Just be aware of your surroundings and you will have a great time!

We live in Wiesbaden so the drive is fairly quick and there is plenty of parking. The lines are fairly short, particularly in the morning. The day that we went was fairly overcast, So that may have kept some people from showing up. We had lunch there which was reasonably priced and delicious. The park isn't as overbearing on safety like places are in the United States, which was concerning for my wife but I enjoyed it. We look forward to going again!

Tickets prices are based on height in cm., and can easily be purchased online. Kids under 100 cm are free. Americans beware, German liability laws are much different, and it's very much "participate at your own risk" park wide. That said, as long as you're exercising smart parenting practices, its pretty awesome! For instance, you can literally control some of the rides as a parent. Many low intensity rides have no staff supervision - you on and off-board whenever the next empty cart rolls up. There's a wide variety of things to do from ball pits to epic slides, a trampoline park, small roller-coaster, petting zoo, legit log ride, and numerous carnival-style-dizzying rides. The food was excellent: high end cafeteria style schnitzel/wurst/burger/fries, along with coffee baristas, flammkuchen, and candy/cotton candy/gelato/popcorn stands. We parents and the kids had a blast. Strongly recommend for parents and kids under 12.

The first 3 times I had bid too low and they didn't accept my offer. I finally tried 38.50€ and it was accepted. My 5 year olds ticket was 30€ and my 2 year old's cost 15.50€. (They don't charge by age but rather by height.) The parking fee was 8€ The drive was only an hour away for us and luckily there was no traffic. We arrived 10 mins prior to them opening and the parking lot was already fully packed. Checking in was easy. They just scanned the bar code from our phones and we walked in. I didn't know where to start first but I saw a bunch of other families with small children going off to the right and we followed. Arriving when they first opened was great for us. No long lines to wait in for the kiddie rides - under 5 mins. The longest time we waited in long was 25 mins for the log splash ride. There was a ride I don't recommend taking small children. It was across from the Dino splash next to a BBQ conssesion stand. I translated the ride as an underground train ride but it's bizarre, scary, and wildly inappropriate for young minds. So skip that ride. We did spend some time at the acarde and played some of the carnival game. I suggest not wasting your money on the claw machine trying to grab the stuffed animals. They are rigged and I'm embarrassed how much we ended up spending on retrying to win a stuffed animal. Save yourself the hassle and just jump on Amazon to buy which ever stuffed animal you want. I had gotten dizzy after riding a spinning cup ride with my girls. My equilibrium was way off and decided I must eat something. We walked into the first restaurant we saw and it was an Italian place called Casa Palatina. I ordered the pizza and carbonara pasta. The pizza was decent and the pasta was bland. We also tried the BBQ concession stand and got the soft served icecream. It was all just overpriced amusement park food. Nothing spectacular or mind blowing. Overall we were happy with our visit and would bring the kids again. If you have small kids I highly suggest this amusement park, for teens I would say go to Europa Park.

Die Privatsammlung der Familie Heyl bildet den Kern der Ausstellung, ergänzt durch wechselnde Wanderausstellung zu Themen wie z.B. (zur Zeit) der Nibelungensage. Die Dauerausstellung bietet neben Glaswaren aus vergangenen Zeiten v.a. deutsche und niederländische Malerei des 15. bis 19. Jahrhunderts. Die meisten Maler sind eher Insidern bekannt, doch fand ich u.a. einen Tintoretto und ein größer-formatiges Werk von Anselm Feuerbach. Daneben finden sich auch Stilmöbel und einige Skulpturen. Insgesamt eine kleiner, aber abwechslungsreiche Sammlung, die nach dem Besuch des nutzlosen Nibelungenmuseums meine Stimmung deutlich gehoben hat! Nach Besichtigung des Hauses kann man sich im Park hinter dem Anwesen angenehm entspannen, der Zugang dazu ist frei (Einfach rechts vor dem Eingang vorbeigehen). Ein Erwachsenen-Ticket kostet €5, was ich sehr fair finde, zumal es die Wanderausstellung mit einschließt. Für Kinder, Studierende und Gruppen gibt es Ermäßigungen. Die Öffnungszeiten sind Di-Sa von 14(!) bis 17 Uhr, Sonn- und feiertags schon ab 11. Empfehlenswert!

The main floor is where all their work is housed and it seems like any exhibits that come are in the basement. I was there for a pretty cool modern exhibit (as seen in my video). But they change pretty frequently so you'll never know what you get. The building was owned by a rich family and a lot of the art their is from/ of the family. I love architecture so, as usual, a good part of my time here was spent enjoying the building itself and not just the art. The family who lived here before was very lucky as the home is gorgeous and theirs beautiful gardens outside almost all the windows. My favorite part was these large, almost life sized, statues of the horoscopes depicted as men. Quite fun to try and find which one is yours and see how you identify with it. I want to give a huge thank you to the employees there! So sorry I forgot your name but the gentleman working there during our visit is what really made the experience. He let us wander around and enjoy ourselves, only occasionally coming up to explain an interesting fact about a piece. He was was kind and well mannered, even helped us put our jackets on as we were leaving. Really made the experience special.

We perused floors 1 - 3 and while there are some good historical items here, we found the museum to be laid out sort of oddly. The oddness may just be from our expectation of historical museums as often, they are laid out in a chronological order with signs and arrows directing you. This place was different. While we won't be back, I wouldn't dissuade anyone from coming here if they have the time and patience to explore it.
