Explore more than a thousand years of history that can be found at the doorstep of Frankfurt. Travel back in time as you visit an ancient Roman fort dating as far back as the 1st century, and then hop forward to the 1200s to see the incredibly preserved medieval castle of Ronneburg.

From Frankfurt travel on a short journey through the countryside to Bad Homburg, home to the Saalburg Roman fort. With your guide leading the way, explore the interior of the fortress, wandering around ramparts and watchtowers. As you walk, your guide brings the history of the Roman era to life with tales of soldiers, families, merchants, and craftsmen who lived and worked on these grounds nearly 2,000 years in the past.

From here, you travel into the foothills of the Vogelsberg Mountains. Jumping forward in time more than 1,000 years, you make your way to the 13th-century castle of Ronneburg. Enjoy time to explore the structure on your own, marveling at the impeccably preserved towers, gates, and drawbridge. In the museum, get close to relics including furniture, weaponry, and cookware before making the drive back to Frankfurt.
