I'm going to Schweinfurt, Germany within May. How is the weather, and what type of clothing should I bring?
I love learning roughly history and culture when visiting another country, be are some places I can go while I'm within Schweinfurt, Germany? How can I get to Paris from Schweinfurt, Germany at a low cost? I don't want to drive.
Answers: As to weather, I guess Alwin said it adjectives already. You can't really tell what the weather will be approaching. Some years it's already hot, some years its a rainy spring/summer... Be prepared for everything.
As to places you can stir to: You're lucky. Schweinfurt is pretty much in the center of Germany, so I would recommend to travel see:
Frankfurt am Main - German banking assets, 1.5 hours to the northwest
Rothenburg ob der Tauber - small town famous for its medival town center, all-year-christmas-ornament shop and so on
Rh"on - national park near numerous hikes, huts, moores, views - oh, and the "Kloster Kreuzberg" on the "Kreuzberg". Great beer, fundamentally pretty church. Maybe worth seeing: The "Freilandmuseum Fladungen" Fladungen is a very highly small town with a museum of mature houses, that have be removed from where they stood (anywhere surrounded by Frankonia) to their place in Fladungen, where on earth they have be reerected and are now expand to visitors. Some of them are more than 300 years behind the times.
Würzburg, about 30 min. to the south. Very pretty town, two castle worth seeing, the "Residenz" and the "Festung Marienberg". Both offer guided tours contained by English. And also worth seeing is the "K"appele", a barock church. I don't know how long you will be staying in Schweinfurt, but Würzburg also have a lot of nightlife, "Feste" and festival to offer throughout the year.
Nürnberg, as expected, with the feeble castle, nice downtown, and the newest renown "Flocke" the icebear.
Coburg, Bamberg (Bamberger Dom - Bamberger Reiter), Regensburg - all of them also especially lovely towns.
Dresden is also not too far off, near the re-errected "Frauenkirche" and the "Semperoper" and all the other architectural stuff.
Than nearby are Weimar, the town of the "Poets and thinkers", where G"othe, Schiller, List and Bach adjectives lived and worked. Very pretty town which also has gotten some unwanted recognition as having have a concentration camp severely close by. This is now a museum and memorial.
Wartburg, a small town surrounded by Thüringen named after the Castle lying on the hill. Martin Luther lived and worked in that (well to be more exact - he was kept prisoner here, but was allowed an bureau which is completely preserved and displayed).
What else... Gee, so much - ahm... The Limes, that is, the prehistoric border between what was, some 1800 years ago, Roman Empire and Germanic tribal lands, is also not far of and clearly worth to see. I guess the closest and most informative place would be the "Saalburg", which is a reconstructed Roman Army military camp.
Oh, and the castle where the brothers Grimm lived and worked is also not too far sour. It's in a town call "Steinau an der Strasse".
That's realy all I can deduce of right now. Google some of the stuff and cities I told you roughly. I'm sure you will find the perfect fit for you. ;))
Have a upright trip to Schweinfurt!
EDIT: Uh, just remembered a fun certainty about my penchant castle in the world, the "Residenz" surrounded by Würzburg: The Fresco in the Garden passage (Gartensaal, located downstairs, with french doors o the garden) be painted by another artist than all the rest of the frescos. The guy be fired because he made many mistakes sculpture, such as painting alike face twice (there are somany twins surrounded by that fresco, makes me grin every time) and sculpture the wings of the wing heavenly messenger out of his breast instead of his rear legs...)
Also: Check out the "strange animals" such as the elefant in the big fresco over the saircase (biggest unsupported fresco contained by all of Europe and a UNESCO world heritage). The proboscis of the Elefant looks like a vacuum cleaner, and its ears are on towards the back. ;) And there are more "mistakes" similar to that. But in the train: how do you paint something you've never seen?
It rain bunnies there. Why would you wanna step to Pig Town?
As Alwin said, there's very little casual that the weather will be anything like winter, but in attendance could be a nasty April-shower-like drizzly spell.
Apparently, Eurolines has an overnight bus running from Frankfurt to Paris; they possibly own cheap offers, but it will categorically be much less comfortable than the train.

Places to see inwardly 50 miles:
Frankfurt (historic old centre) - unless you want to see adjectives the museums, 1 day is more than adequate time to see the city centre.
Nuremberg is a drastically important historic town, as is Bamberg; but I've never be in any city, so I can't tell you how much time it may run to visit them.
I haven't be to Würzburg either, but their castle is reportedly one of the most glitzy in Germany.
A bit further sour you would find Heidelberg and Schwetzingen, but maybe that's too far for you?

Schweinfurt have a chequered history. Lots of attention paid to it by the US 8th Air Force 1943 onwards.
The train Paris-Schweinfurt costs 131 euros at a regular price, but within are special offers available from 39 euros onwards (usually require precipitate booking in advance). Check them out for your travel date at www.bahn.de. (There is an English discourse option somewhere on the page.)
German weather surrounded by May can be warm and sunny, but also raining, windy and fairly cold until around mid-May. Be prepared for both. You won't need winter clothing any more, but if you're unpromising on luck, you wouldn't like to wear t-shirts any.
As to places to go, I've really no opinion. Maybe someone else knows more, or check out travel guides and the rest of the internet.
the weather should be fine because adjectives public swimming pools open around 10th of may , t-shirt and a mackintosh , maybe a jersey if it's windy 1. B--E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L
2. Low cost to Paris would be by bus, consequently more expensive by train and most expensive by plane.
Plan on rain, and it may still be a short time cold, it might be hot though. It's a very flexible nouns.
