Offenbach Travel Guide

 Weissdorn Says:  The German Leather Museum belongs to the collection of unusual museums in Germany. Offenbach is the leather capital of Europe. Today there are not many leather manufacturers left in Offenbach. The small factories closed in the 1960's. The only major producer of leather goods... 

 Weissdorn Says:  The annual community clubs party on the banks of the Main in OffenbachThis is one of the few festivals that you can do a mini-tour of several European nationals in a single day. Eat your way through Greece, Turkey, Spain, Portugal and Bavaria while you'r at it. Ever wonder...

 Weissdorn Says:  This is a favorite tip amongst the business people, because this is a family-run hotel, that pay attention to special requests, such as special orders and deliveries, and other accommodations that go hand and hand with trade fairs. That makes up for it's relative poor... 

 Weissdorn Says:  This hotel is the place to go if you place price above other values like accessibility, staying downtown or in the romantic older part of town, closeness to events or nightlife, or having a room with a few. It's located in the business section of town, and you will have... 

 Weissdorn Says:  (Whine, cry, sniff.) Frankfurt is so expensive! Doesn't anyone know a really cheap hotel in or near Frankfurt where I can stay for under 100 $ a night??Aren't there any Motel 6's in Frankfurt?Fortunately for you, there is one. That's right the Motel 6 Company opened up a... 

 Weissdorn Says:  Saturday is the best day to visit Offenbach, because Saturday is Market Day and Flea Market Day. I would suggest you go early, otherwise you will have to park in Berlin or New York and walk the rest of the way.Near the middle of town, they have the large traditional square -... 

 Weissdorn Says:  Because Clochemerle often too full is, many try the Café-Restaurant Brasserie Beau d'Eau . A very popular student café-restaurant, where you can also sit on the sidewalk terrace, when the weather is nice.They have an old upright piano in the corner, that welcome's anyone... 

 Weissdorn Says:  All of the restaurants around the Wilhelmsplatz are popular, especially on weekend afternoons. Morleo's has always been a sucessful restaurant even though it's changed hands several times (it used to be called Kaiser's). Morleo's is actually a bistrot/caf?, but doesn't... 

 Weissdorn Says:  The Gerbermühle is a popular 'beer garden' for the Offenbachers and the Frankfurters alike, because it's in the no-man's land between Frankfurt and Offenbach, directly on the Main River. This was even one of Goethe's favorite places.The best way to get here is by bicycle... 

 Weissdorn Says:  I belong to the 'Yacht Club' in Offenbach. It is next to the Rowing Club right across the river from the castle in Offenbach. One warm summer evening as I was fixing something on my boat, I heard this music weaving it's way over the water. Gee, I thought, someone has a... 

 Weissdorn Says:  A little Cuba to go, anyone?The Havana Bar and restaurant are in the most unusual building you could imagine to find this kind of bar and restaurant - in Offenbach's old Schlachthof (Slaughterhouse). Despite this, the moment you enter the bar, you get the feeling you've... 

 Weissdorn Says:  Offenbach has been a rival city with Frankfurt for centuries. They even fought a war with each other, when Frankfurt tried to take over Offenbach. But Offenbachers are tough cookies. At the turn of the century, a popular postcard appeared for Offenbach, which is pictured on...
