Top 10 Historic Sites in Hesse, Germany
Hesse (/ˈhɛsə/) or Hessia (German: Hessen [ˈhɛsn̩], Hessian dialect: Hesse [ˈhɛzə]) is a federal state (Land) of the Federal Republic of Germany, with just over six million inhabitants. The state capital is Wiesbaden; the largest city is Frankfurt am Main. Until the unification of Germany, the territory of Hesse was occupied by the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Duchy of Nassau, the free city of Frankfurt and the Electorate of Hesse, known also as Hesse-Cassel. Due to divisions after World War II, the modern federal state does not cover the entire cultural region of Hesse, which includes both the State of Hesse and the area known as Rhenish Hesse (Rheinhessen) in the neighbouring state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

This historic cathedral served for 300 years as the site of coronation for Holy Roman Emperors.
Reviewed By 612billyq - Dublin, Ireland
The St. Bartholomew Cathedral tower is well worth climbing for the views of the old town, the Main river & greater Frankfurt. The viewing platforms are at a height of 66 meters and are reached via a long stone spiral stairs. Hard on the legs as there are no stops along the way. Well worth it though for the amazing 360 degree views from the top. The descent is easier.

Very fun place to visit. Within a few blocks there are plenty of places to eat and shop. I visit here every time I'm in town on business and try to hit Saturday for wine tastings just a couple blocks from here. Nice little cafe in the building on the left. Lady there makes great treats and good coffee. Next to them is a store that sells little gifts to take home and accros the square is a place I like to get my beer and a dog. Walk across the bridge to add your lock to the collection.

Reconstructed Roman fort and archaeological museum
Reviewed By Ralff
Fun and fascinating museum of Roman times on the German frontier. Super reconstruction of the fort. German and English signage. Look beyond the walls to see the limes and look in the woods as you drive from the entrance to see the low ramparts still remaining. Interesting displays with both excavated items and copied items from various German museums. Excellent maintenance and helpful staff. Reenactors in the summer, quite quiet when we arrived on the way north off the plane. Cheap to enter. Fun for an hour to 1.5 hours. Good small store next to the entrance. Free parking. Make it a day out with a visit to the Hessenpark also nearby.

This unique courtyard complex is recognized as the largest center of Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) in Germany. Unfortunately not all parts can be visited any more, but the events held there are always worth a visit. Adjacent to a park with lakes it is a perfect place for relaxing and recreation.

Took a short break here at Schloss Phillippsruhe. The park is beautiful and quiet. A very nice place to take a long stroll. There are benches where you can just sit and watch the world go by... A historical museum awaits you inside if you want to take a tour. Lots of weddings are booked here and there were two on the day we visited.
