Breakfast: Get the lay of the land along Main Street before buzzing down to South Main to start your day with scratch-made, sustainable food at Honey B’s Eatery. Order the Biscuits & Gravy or the Southern Benny (a benedict on warm buttermilk biscuit with braised pork and poached egg).

Choose Your Chariot: Cruise the flower-lined streets and experience Frankenmuth on a Fantasy Carriage Company or Frankenmuth Carriage Company horse-drawn carriage ride. Take in the beautiful Bavarian architecture and keep watch for shops you might like to visit later! Or, find your seat aboard the nostalgic Golden Ticket Trolley for a 45-minute tour of town complete with fun music and interesting facts about Frankenmuth!

Lunch: Located right on Main Street, try Tiffany’s Food & Spirits (known for its Sicilian-style pizza) and enjoy lunch on the front patio overlooking Downtown Frankenmuth. Taste locally sourced goodness at Michigan on Main Bar & Grill — like their house-made Ale Brat and a Pretzel — with your choice from Michigan’s largest selection of German beers, or one of 17 rotating Michigan craft brews on tap! Or, make your way to Poblano's Mexican Grill & Cantina, a casual cantina serving street tacos to enchiladas — and jumbo margaritas!

Mingle on Main: Spend time exploring shops galore along both sides of Main Street. Watch taffy or fudge get made at Zak & Mac’s Chocolate Haus, Frankenmuth Fudge Kitchen, or Frankenmuth Taffy Kitchen. Try 270+ varieties of cheese at Frankenmuth Cheese Haus, or sample house-made Bavarian sausages at Kern’s Sausages or Willi’s Sausage Co. Don’t miss spots like Adorn Boutique, Rapunzel's Boutique, or White House Boutique if vacation fashion is what you’re after!

Breakfast: Order up a Breakfast Pizza at T-Dub's, or begin your day at Oma’s Restaurant inside the Bavarian Inn Lodge. “Oma” means “Grandma” in German, and the Banana Nut Bread French Toast, German Potato Pancakes, and Potato Cheese Dumplings all taste like a big ole hug! Or, fuel up with a healthy, hearty breakfast burrito from K's Cafe, alongside an energizing smoothie.

Zip & Climb: Zoom into day two with a taste for adventure! Climb, zipline, and feel like you're flying on a series of aerial obstacle courses at Frankenmuth Aerial Park — and be sure to check out the fan-favorite FrankenZip course!

Chime Time: Witness the Bavarian Inn Glockenspiel Tower, an illuminated clock with figurine movement, when it chimes at 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, and 9pm daily. Save time to explore the Bavarian Inn Holz Brücke, too, an iconic covered bridge made entirely of wood which spans the Cass River.

Lunch: Head to Frankenmuth River Place Shops for lunch, and experience more than 40 stores and attractions that make up this German-themed shopping village. Grab a bite to eat at Pasty Haus or taste a piece of Paris at La Crepe du Jour (and discover savory crepes like the Bavarian or Mediterranean). Or, venture into Cass River Bar & Grill for big TVs and big German beers.

Stroll the Shops: Pick your pleasure while at Frankenmuth River Place Shops, from The Michigan Shoppe to I Love Frankenmuth. On top of the shops, this spot is home to Serendipity Day Spa (need we say more?), and a tasting room of Grand Traverse Distillery. Or, waltz into Modern Craft Winery, located inside Bead Haven, to try their anything-but-routine “mixperience” wine tasting.

Brunch: Start the day off right with a Bloody Mary or Mimosa Flight and the German Heritage charcuterie board while brunching at Prost! Wine Bar & Charcuterie. Or, savor a house-specialty hash, Biscuits & Gravy, or one of three styles of Benedicts.

Stroll for Souvenirs: From Bavarian Inn Castle Shops to the Covered Bridge Shop, Amazin’ Mitten to Frank's Muth — souvenirs, gifts, and goodies that’ll fill your suitcase with memories of Frankenmuth can be found all around town. Don’t take off without at least a few!

Before You Go: You simply can’t visit Frankenmuth without visiting Bronner’s CHRISTmas Wonderland! Overflowing with more than 50,000 trims and gifts, this store is the size of one-and-a-half football fields — and offers the opportunity to customize ornaments for the perfect souvenir!

Lunch: If you’re still full from brunch, grab a late lunch of light eats. Track down a local food truck — Bavarian Inn Cluck Truck or The Cheese Trap — to taste signature Frankenmuth flavors on-the-fly. Or, choose from the grab-n-go selections at Zehnder’s Marketplace or Bavarian Inn Castle Shops and picnic down by the riverfront in Heritage Park.
