Frankfurt
One of the best places to visit in Frankfurt is probably the Städel Museum.

The Hilton Garden Inn Frankfurt City Center is just a 13-minute walk from the museum and is the ideal place to relax after an eventful day. Book a spacious, modern room just two blocks from a fantastic selection of restaurants. The nearby modern European bistro and bar Bidlabu is a top choice, serving an innovative menu with great wine pairings in a cozy but stylish setting.
Another must-see highlight in this vibrant city is the Main Tower. At the highest vantage point in Frankfurt, you can enjoy a breathtaking sunset or visit at night and watch the city in a sea of lights!

Stay at the Hilton Frankfurt City Centre and enjoy every moment of your city break. Just an 8-minute walk from the Main Tower, you can end your evening on a high note in the truest sense of the word.

Alternatively, you can have a few drinks at Gekkos, the hotel’s chic smoking and whisky bar. Expect luxurious velvet seating and a charming, intimate atmosphere.
If you’re in the mood for theater, the Alte Oper is an absolute must. This beautiful building was rebuilt after the Second World War and is still a stronghold of music and theater today.

Freiburg
If Freiburg is the next destination on your list, we have some suggestions for you as well as fabulous hotel recommendations to include in your itinerary.
Whether religious or not, no one can deny the beauty of an old cathedral. This is especially true of Freiburg Minster, which is characterized by both its Romanesque and Gothic architecture. This remarkable building is particularly known for its beautiful church tower, of which the art historian Jakob Burckhardt claimed: “Freiburg will probably remain the most beautiful tower on earth.“
As the name suggests, the cathedral is located on Münsterplatz, the city’s main square. Here you will find bars, cafés, restaurants, a museum of the city’s history and a historical market. Browse the numerous stalls selling fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers and other products. And of course you have to try the legendary Freiburg bratwurst!
When it’s time to eat, head to the Freiburger Markthalle, just a few steps from the main square, for an amazing selection of local and international dishes. Hampton by Hilton Freiburg is only a ten-minute walk from the city center, so you can explore the city at a leisurely pace. In the morning, you even have the option of enjoying a complimentary hot breakfast to get you ready for the day.
Munich
Munich is much more than just the venue for the world-famous Oktoberfest: the Bavarian capital also has an almost inexhaustible range of cultural and leisure activities to offer. There are great museums, lively beer gardens everywhere, idyllic parks, luxurious cocktail bars with spectacular views and… a boat on a railroad bridge. So trust us when we say there’s plenty to discover…
If you’re in the mood to learn, the Deutsches Museum should be your first stop in Munich. You don’t even have to be a technology fanatic to enjoy the largest science and technology museum in the world. With tens of thousands of exhibits from over fifty fields of science, you’re guaranteed to find something that fascinates you.
After so much learning, it’s time to treat yourself to a beer! Of course you can make the obligatory visit to the Hofbräuhaus, but if you need a moment of peace and quiet away from the tourist crowds, there are always other options. How about a sundowner in a former passenger ship on a railroad bridge? Yes, that actually exists – and you can even order a full dinner in the Alte Utting. And if you fancy something trendy, you should pop into Bahnwärter Thiel, where, in addition to a great roof terrace, there are always flea markets, concerts and all kinds of cultural events.
A packed schedule calls for a well-deserved break, the Hilton Munich City is just two S-Bahn stops away from Marienplatz . The hotel is located in the heart of Munich, in a prime location with direct access to Rosenheimer Platz S-Bahn station. Ideal for continuing your exploration of the city after a restful night. The elegant MoNa restaurant offers a delicious menu inspired by the Italian regions. After dinner , don’t forget to enjoy a signature cocktail at “Juliet Rose”, one of Munich’s hippest cocktail bars – all in the element of the rose #fromroottofruit!
Even if you don’t want to focus solely on beer, you shouldn’t miss out on a visit to the Augustiner Keller. The pub is the oldest brewery in the city, with a garden containing over 100 chestnut trees. After an evening of fun and delicious drinks, you can relax at the Hilton Garden Inn Munich City West, which is only 15 minutes away by streetcar, or at the neighboring Hampton by Hilton City West to relax. With their good transport links and on-site restaurants, these hotels offer the perfect accommodation on a packed trip.
If you fancy a little time away from the hustle and bustle of the city, why not spend an afternoon in the English Garden? This sprawling park stretches from the city center to the northeastern borders of Munich and is perfect for a moment of tranquility. Discover the city’s most romantic spot at the Monopteros, from where you can overlook the entire park. And don’t miss Munich’s most exotic sporting spectacle: the surfers at the Eisbach wave. Incidentally, if you have booked a room at the Hilton Munich Park you are right next to the English Garden! The Tivoli Restaurant with its outdoor terrace and view over the Eisbach offers local and international dishes, while the People’s Bar is the ideal place for a nightcap in the evening. The indoor pool, steam bath and sauna make for a relaxing end to a day of sightseeing.
Whether cars are your thing or not, BMW Welt is undoubtedly one of Munich’s most beautiful attractions. This stylish museum and exhibition is housed in a futuristic building that showcases the entire history of the car manufacturer. Here you can admire classic cars, including an old BMW that once belonged to Elvis Presley! Hampton by Hilton Munich City North is only a 12-minute drive from the museum, so you can start your engines for this exhibition as early or as late as you like.
Or maybe you’d rather stay at the Hilton Munich Airport and enjoy ultimate living comfort, both before and after your trip.
