Rüsselsheim

Rüsselsheim is primarily known for being a famous car city, but the cosy town has many other things to offer. In the inner city, you'll find a host of exciting sights worth checking out. Start your holiday in Rüsselsheim, for example, with a short city tour, where you can stroll through the cosy streets from the city fortress to Opel's headquarters. On this tour you can learn a lot about the history of the city.

Visiting the city's impressive fortress is a must. There's no doubt that the fortress is the city's oldest attraction and is believed to date back to 1399. The impressive complex gives a good idea of how the fortress functioned in its heyday and it is especially a great experience because there is the possibility to walk around the walls. The fortress is an exciting historical attraction that will no doubt bring joy to the youngest members of the family too. The fortress also houses the Rüsselsheim City and Industrial Museum.

If you are interested in art, a visit to the city's Kunstcentrum Opelvillen is a great experience. Located between the fortress and the city park, the fine building, which dates back to the early 20th century, is the absolute centre of art in Rüsselsheim today. In particular, the focus is on classic modern works of art. A few steps from the Opelvillen, you can take a relaxing break in the fine late Romantic-style city park, where you can also find a castle ruin, among other things.
