Welcome to Hesse

Wonderful holidays right in the heart of Germany. We invite you to take a closer look at Hesse, which is international and open-minded but also deeply rooted in its heritage and history. Frankfurt is a fast-developing European metropolis, but just one hour away lies untouched wilderness for example in the Odenwald, Taunus or Vogelsberg. From Kassel to Darmstadt and from Fulda to Wiesbaden, the cities of Hesse are unique in their cultural offerings and architecture.

Spend some time on a vacation or a weekend excursion - and you'll quickly come to appreciate the diversity of Hesse.

Tourist Regions

Hesse - your travel destination

Nestled between the major cities are hundreds of municipalities - each of which is extremely proud of their local history. Every major city, but also many smaller towns - have their own theaters, orchestras, dance companies and night clubs. Over the centuries, what has emerged is not a homogenous conurbation of communities, but rather a colorful mosaic that gives Hesse its vibrance. Find out more about the travel destinations in Hesse.
