TYPICALLY HESSIAN

Hessen is located in the heart of Europe and is one of Germany's best-connected travel destinations. Frankfurt International Airport, a dense high-speed rail network and short distances between urban centres and tourist regions create optimal conditions for international travel offers. The portfolio ranges from dynamic cities to high-profile cultural and event locations and distinctive landscapes.

Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, Kassel and Darmstadt stand for international culture, architecture, events and outstanding MICE expertise. Regions such as the Rheingau, the Rhön, the Taunus, the Odenwald and North Hesse characterise the image of a diverse destination for active and leisure tourism. With the Upper Middle Rhine Valley and Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, Hessen is home to internationally renowned UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Major cultural events set international accents, including the International May Festival in Wiesbaden, the Rheingau Music Festival and the world-renowned documenta in Kassel. The museum landscape is equally diverse: Darmstadt with the Mathildenhöhe stands for Art Nouveau and architectural history, while Frankfurt with its Museumsufer and numerous internationally renowned museums forms a cultural centre of European standing.

Hessen Tourism, a division of Hessen Agentur, is the central marketing and coordination organization of the state of Hessen and offers the international travel industry in-depth market knowledge, destination expertise and access to a strong network of destinations and service providers. The focus is on marketable products and target group-specific marketing – from individual and group travel to round trips and business and incentive formats.
