The Rüsselsheim Fortress and the surrounding area are worth a visit. To get a good overview, it is worth walking around the fortress three times. First via the street An der Festung above the moat, then inside the moat and finally via the ramparts inside the fortress. The Wallanlage is open Tuesday to Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The ramparts offer a good view of the surrounding area. In the inner courtyard of the fortress there are historical buildings, a museum on the industrial history of Rüsselsheim, a cafe and the local history association.

The café in the fortress in the inner courtyard is also worthwhile.
Good breakfast and lunch.
