Sightseeing in Germany

Fri Nov 04, 2005 7:48 pm

All,

I will be travelling to Frankfurt, Germany for work and will have a weekend to do some sightseeing. Any suggestions, interesting aircraft, airfields or museums in the vicintity? Thoughts on trying to visit Flugwerk?
I will be bringing my camera, and will share pic upon return

All suggestions are appreciated.

Two good museums well worth a trip are at Sinsheim and Speyer. Both have a very high aviation content, and lots of other interesting stuff as well.

The Mercedes-Benz museum at Frankfurt is also worth a look too.

I am hoping for many replies to Warren's post as I may have the chance to travel to Germany in the next year.

Warren... Please post a report when you get back. I am looking forward to any tips you may have about traveling in Germany. Despite my German sounding last name, I have never been there. Also being unilingul may be a challenge.

Mike S, Thanks for the links to the museums. If I can't convince one of my German co-workers to drive to Gammelsdorf to visit Flugwerk, I might be visiting these museums.

Mike H, This is my first time to Germany, as this is a two-week working visit, I only wished I had more free time to sight see. You can bet that I'll make the most out of my weekend, and I'll post pics upon return.
