Sightseeing attractions in Frankfurt Rhine-Main
Lively and diverse
No other region in Germany offers such a great variety of sights and sightseeing attractions within such a comparatively small area. Pay a visit to the alluring state capitals of Mainz and Wiesbaden, both of which look back on well over a thousand years of history. Experience the mundane charm of the renowned spa town of Bad Homburg or take in the sights at Eberbach Monastery, a former Cistercian abbey founded in 1135 and backdrop for the film "The Name of the Rose", starring Sean Connery. Come and be enchanted by one of the most beautiful, interesting and diverse regions in all of Germany!

Schloss Johannisberg Johannisberg stands out from the gentle landscape of the Rheingau. It is the nucleus of a great wine culture that stretches far beyond the borders of the region. History was written here. With its seemingly simple, straight lines and not a hint of overladen splendor, the castle overlooks the vine-clad hill in quiet majesty – a Rheingau symbol of a way of life that has included joys and pleasures, but also trials and tribulations, yet always kept its balance. |
