Alt-Sachsenhausen

Applewine Express (Ebbelwei-Express)

For a fun way to see Frankfurt, hop on the Ebbelwei-Express, a vintage tram that rattles through the city on weekends and public holidays. On board, passengers are served apple wine (or juice) and a bag of pretzels while local music plays in the background. The hour-long ride takes in many of Frankfurt’s main sights, and tickets are sold by the conductor. You can board at any of the tram stops along the route, but the ticket covers one full loop without hopping off and back on again.

The DomRömer Quarter is Frankfurt’s “new old town”, rebuilt on the spot where the medieval streets once stood. Finished in 2018, it mixes careful reconstructions with new buildings that echo the originals. Wander between the narrow lanes for cafés, small shops and museums, and get a sense of what the city looked like before the war.
