We live not far from Wiesbaden near Frankfurt am Main (since Dec. '11) in a more rural area.
I am not very familiar with Wiesbaden. I know some parts are not that nice and it has that small scale city character?
I might not know it well enough though. We spend a lot of time in Frankfurt and it has changed so much since 2007! It does have a LOT to offer, culture as well as insanely modern places, one of the biggest shopping streets I have ever seen with tons of shops, an even larger flea market and also Starbucks at every corner

.
If we don't feel like doing city things we spend a lot of time outdoors or traveling.
Hope you will like your stay!
