When the ferry stops running, that's quite a highlight 😜 It's also 'nicely' lit up at night..

There should be something for everyone between the picturesque old town with its many shops, the iconic basilica with its well-kept monastery garden and the banks of the Main with the ferry to Bavaria.

It's not a highlight, it's just a bridge. Do you need it if you want to go from Hesse to Bavaria and don't have a boat with you!?

Aschaffenburg was founded by the Alemanni in the 5th century, and the first signs of settlement can be found as early as the Stone Age.
