| Guten Tag, |
visitors of the Main metropolis have many exciting attractions to look forward to this summer. They may choose to dance the night away during a cruise upon the majestic River Main, to chill out at a lofty beach club set high above the city streets, to enjoy a cold beer at Frankfurt’s only brewhouse, to sample the locals’ beverage of choice at the Apple Wine Festival or to shake a leg on the visitors’ terrace of Frankfurt’s international airport. The absolute highlight of the season, however, is the new Frankfurt old town, which is – with all renovation and reconstruction work recently completed – now fully open to the general public.
With best regards,

It is said that much of Frankfurt’s joie de vivre comes from the locals’ love of apple wine. At the annual Apple Wine Festival, visitors have the chance to experience Frankfurt’s favourite beverage in all of its variations. Aside from the more traditional apple wine varieties, visitors will also find trendy new drinks made of and with apple wine. The festival also features a colourful fringe programme replete with numerous live music performances and many other attractions.

| Many first-time visitors of “City Beach” have been heard to say that, upon arrival, they felt like they’d been suddenly teleported to a faraway Mediterranean beach. Featuring palm and olive trees, wicker beach chairs, hammocks and recliners, the club reminds of a scenic stretch of Sicilian seaside. For those feeling a bit more active, there’s a beach volleyball court and two swimming pools. The rooftop location’s breathtaking views of the Frankfurt skyline are particularly impressive and make for a very picturesque backdrop. |
