Food to try

Try Frankfurter Würstchen, traditional pork sausages, often served with bread and mustard.

Visit a traditional Apfelweinwirtschaft (apple wine tavern) to taste local apple wine.

Local tips

Learn a few basic German phrases, as English isn't as widely spoken as in other European capitals. Be aware of bicycle lanes and traffic rules. Public transportation is efficient, so consider purchasing a day or week pass.
