We had a birthday party in the "Ebbelwei Express" and it was much fun. While you tour around Frankfurt, you will drink the traditional apfelwein and have bretzels. Very original. More

Sip on apple wine (or juice) and munch on pretzels as you are whisked around Frankfurt on this colorful trolley complete with German music. Hop on and off anytime for one complete loop. A great way to spend an afternoon. More

You get a bottle of apple wine (or apple juice for the kids), something you have to try anyway when you come to Frankfurt, and some snacks. The train goes on weekends and public holidays. It can get pretty crowded, but thats part of... More

Though the tram was filled to capacity forcing us to wait 45 minutes for the next one, it was worth it. We paid 6 euro per adult and 3 per child. This purchased us each a bottle of apple wine (apple juice for the kids) and a round trip ticket. I was a bit tipsy before the ride ended and... More
