Hi there.

I'm doing the marathon in Frankfurt in October and staying for three nights.

I've heard it's not the most exciting city, maybe enough for 1 day to look around.

My plan was to spend the first day there, then go to Nuremberg for another day.

Any suggestions for day 3 or in general?

I'm interested in museums and WW2 history (hence Nuremberg).

Thanks!

Ed.

Places like Mainz, Wiesbaden, Darmstadt, Aschaffenburg, Limburg,
Wurzburg, Michelstadt are all within easy train reach. Some of them are
not utterly interesting but are fine for a few hour trip. The most
interesting are possibly Wurzburg and Mainz. A scenic possibility is
navigation on the Rhine from Mainz to Koblenz. Or some walk in the
hills ... the Odenwald is probably too south, but some Taunus place like
Bad Homburg should be reachable by S-Bahn.

And Heidelberg and Marburg. I'd pick Heidelberg if I could only
do one.

Yes, I forgot Heidelberg, which I considered a bit too south, also for
some reasons I was assuming the train connection needed some more
changes, but I haven't checked recent situation.

May add also Worms and Speier
