This Wetzlar travel guide provides you with an overview of Wetzlar, and a local travel guide that suggests many special trips, unique activities, and vacation ideas, that you can’t find in a typical Germany travel guide.
Wetzlar is located in central Hesse (Mittelhessen) in the middle of Germany, which is centrally located in Europe. Wetzlar’s historic “Old Town” offers plenty of old buildings, museums, and since it was temporary home to the famous writer Goethe back in 1772 (if you’re interested in more details around Goethe there is a good article that tells the story of Goethe in Wetzlar.)
Wetzlar’s central location makes it a perfect starting point for exploring Germany and Europe.
The tightly woven ensemble of historic buildings and houses in the Old Town (Altstadt) with its half-timbered houses and stone buildings from Romanesque (Wetzlar Cathedral) to Gothic to Renaissance and Baroque is to a great extent as it was in the late 18th century, preserved and extensively restored.
With less than 50 miles distance from Frankfurt and its overall good integration into the German highway (Autobahn) system, Wetzlar is easily accessible from Frankfurt Rhein-Main International Airport, just a 45-minute drive away.
