Things to see and do in Frankfurt
Places to Visit
Main Tower
The only skyscraper with a public viewing platform — 200 metres up, open-air, wind in your hair while the entire city and river glitter below like a circuit board made of gold.
Eiserner Steg
Art-nouveau iron bridge covered in thousands of love locks. At sunset the skyline reflects perfectly in the Main while river boats glide beneath your feet.
Römerberg & Römer
Frankfurt’s medieval heart, lovingly rebuilt after WWII. Half-timbered houses lean together like gossiping neighbours, the fountain gurgles, and the Römer’s stepped gable has watched coronations for 600 years.
Sachsenhausen Apfelwein District
Labyrinth of narrow lanes filled with 500-year-old taverns. Wooden benches, Bembel jugs of sour cider, and Frankfurters singing until dawn.
Städel Museum
700 years of art under one roof — Botticelli, Rembrandt, Beckmann, and a stunning modern extension with garden café.
Goethe House & Museum
The exact house where Germany’s greatest writer was born in 1749. Stand in the room where he wrote “Faust” and feel the weight of genius.
