Not the most famous of the German Christmas markets but one of the most fun and when you've had your fill of gluwein under the huge Christmas tree go for a skate in the ice-rink set up by the beautiful opera house.

Lake in the middle of Frankfurt, well hidden - with great, great parties in the summer and swimming during the day.

Neu-Isenburg is at the end of the Streetcar/Tram line 14, which passes through the city forest (Stadtwald) on the south side of Frankfurt. Well worth the ride in itself. Then it's a 10 minute walk to the old Market Square.

The quality of the German menu items is A1 and the green sauce is perhaps the best in the whole area. The staff are friendly: not the typical apple-wine pub bruskness.

Book in advance as it's always busy, though I have always found a table during a walk-in in the early evening. And for families with children, they actually like them here.

Catch the popular 'Varieté Show' at Theatre Tigerpalast, a family-friendly caberet and Frankfurt institution. Tickets are not cheap and should be booked ahead, as the shows quickly sell out.
