Due to Lufthansa canceling PDX flights, we will be in Frankfurt for 2 days after our trip to Croatia and Turkey. I know nothing about Germany and want to experience what we can while there. I spoke with a German family yesterday visiting Portland and they said we should take the train to Heidelberg for the day. Does anybody have other ideas, or would that be a good thing to do with our limited time? Thanks for any input!!

Heidelberg is for sure an option.

Middle Rhine Valley another one

You can stay either in Frankfurt or Mainz. The airport is between both cities.

There are many possibilities,all within an hour or so of Frankfurt - Heidelberg, Rhine, Mainz, also Schwetzingen, Speyer, Weisbaden just a few.
They are all fine. I think you should be pleased with any of these, and I would suggest getting your mindset that all are %26quot;Germany%26quot;, and I think, representatively so, so it doesn%26#39;t matter to get too crazy on what specific place you choose.
Although Heidleberg is always my favorite, I think in your case, with only a short time, maybe a Rhine cruise or other place is better. I say this because to get to the %26quot;castle area%26quot; in Heidleberg isa bit of a trip, 20 min.or more from train station. In the other locations you will be in the center of things right away, and can %26quot;ramble%26quot; more easily.
Or throw a dart?

What are your interests?
There are many good daytrips from Frankfurt, if we know what you like, we could better help with suggestions.
It is a shame about the direct flight from Portland being cancelled. It made the trip into Europe almost fun, instead of a chore.

We like architecture, culture, museums and great local food. Thanks for your info.
