About
The Ebbelwei-Express is a 1950s tram painted inside and out as a traveling cider pub, with cartoon artwork and seats for 22. It runs a one-hour loop from the Zoo past the Römer, the main station, the trade fair and Sachsenhausen. Every rider gets a bottle of apple juice, water or cider and a bag of pretzels. No guide rides along, but the website has an audio tour.
