Frankfurt’s traditional drink is a dry, healthy apple cider “Ebbelwei”. Traditional dishes are “Handkäs”, cheese served with vinaigrette sauce, or “Grie Soß “, a dip made of seven herbs, eaten as a main dish with hard-boiled eggs and boiled potatoes. The best known local meat dish is the boiled sausage known as the “Frankfurter”. A visit to an apple-cider tavern is a must, mostly found in the city’s party district, Sachsenhausen, a part of town still cultivates an intimate, almost village-like atmosphere. History is also an important part of this tour, where you learn about the high-rise skyline dominated by the Commerzbank tower, learn about the city’s 95 meters-high belfry of the Imperial Cathedral, the Eiserner Steg, the19th-century iron footbridge, the medieval town hall called “Römer”, St. Paul’s Church, Germany’s first national assembly convened in 1848. This tour will definitely quench thirst for both knowledge and apple cider.
