Car Class Recommendations

Climate and Currency

Temperature-wise, Franconia reflects typical continental European climate with warm summers and colder winters. Currency used here is the Euro (€), unlike the pound sterling (£) in the UK, so ensure you've exchanged your money before the trip or upon arrival.

Seasonal Events
