Hanau is a town in the German state of Hesse. It's probably most notable as being the birthplace of the Brothers Grimm; it seems natural then that Hanau should mark the start of the Fairytale Route which ends in Bremen. Car hire from Hanau is useful with those setting out on the drive north.
Hiring a car from Hanau also lets you explore districts like Kesselstadt where you'll find the Wilhelmsbad Spa. In Hanau Old Town you'll find the famous half-timbered House of Goldsmiths; the new area of Hanau is based around Market Square, which is defined by the Town Hall, and the statue of the Brothers Grimm.
There are many distinct areas of Hanau for the visitor to explore. The Old Town around the Goldsmiths building has an unerring appeal, and the new town around Market Square is perfect for a meal or a coffee. If you're hiring a car from Hanau, Kesselstadt is a short drive west on Philippsruher Allee; here you'll find Schloss Phillippsruhe (the local castle), along with Wilhelmsbad Spa and surrounding gardens.
Rent a car from Hanau and you can also attempt the renowned ‘Fairytale Route', which starts in Hanau and finishes in Bremen with travellers invited to take on the journey, which is full of evocative castles and medieval towns.
