Local before arrival
No trip to Frankfurt is complete without a visit to Fichtekränzi, a real piece of history. Founded in 1849, it’s one of the city’s oldest apple wine restaurants: rustic, authentic, and offers fantastic Hessian cuisine. It’s where locals gather—either indoors or out under the sycamore trees—to enjoy Frankfurt’s “national drink” poured from Bembel jugs. Enjoy a cozy meal of spare ribs, “Handkäs” and green sauce, and a real taste of local color.
