Frankfurt, Germany skyline: the 43 most iconic buildings and best views in Frankfurt

Great views from up there, but it was way too windy. the ticked was only 9€, the linie to buy the ticket there was not long, the people that work there are super niceee Ofc its worth to go up there once you are in Frankfurt, i would prefer it nights too.

Amazing views of Frankfurt! The Main Tower Observatory is a must-visit — super fast elevator, friendly staff, and the view from the top is incredible. You can see the whole city, the river, and even the hills in the distance. I went during the night and the view with city lights were beautiful. Totally worth it! It’s €9 for adults to go up the elevator with unlimited time at the top. So you can stay as long as you want. You will need to go through a security checkpoint first before getting on the elevator Overall, extremely worth the view if you are in Frankfurt!

Worth visiting once. There will be sitting area as well. I recommend once. No time limit for staying top. Camera is allowed. Beautiful view from the top. Ticket price is 9€ per person. Toilets available.

Totally worth the visit! The view from almost 60 floors up is breathtaking, you can see all of Frankfurt and beyond! The platform feels safe and open, and the atmosphere is amazing, especially at sunset. A must-see if you’re in the city! And you go by elevator ofc! It takes 1 minute to go up. Also it has discount with Frankfurt ticket.

A very beautiful 360° sight of Frankfurt City from the roof top. I used my student ID and i got discount Ticket to go.The staff is very friendly and professional, there can be a queue at the entrance but when i went there were not a lot of people there. At the entrance your bags and will be scanned before proceeding to the elevator. There is a toilet as well on the 54th floor, a floor below the roof top just in case you might need a bathroom. You can buy ticket at entrance , normal ticket for adults €9,00 Discount Ticket is €6,00

A great observation tower offering a full panoramic view of Frankfurt. There’s an enclosed platform, and if you climb a bit higher, you’ll reach an open-air deck. A family ticket costs €20 — definitely worth visiting!

This building offers a perfect view of Frankfurt. Everyone should visit it to enjoy the city’s panorama. The entrance fee is €9 per adult, with discounts available for families. It’s located near the main square.

Historic Site of Goethe's House where he was born and spent his young life. Multiple languages available for explanation on items displayed through an APP. I recommend you bring your headphone/bluetooth. Tickets are €12 per adult. They have a family rate. You need to be able to walk up and down stairs a lot. Enjoyed the visit as I do admire his life.

Combination of two museums under one roof: historic birthplace of Johann van Goethe and museum of German romanticism. Striking difference between meticulously restored residence of the poet with attention to details and period’s furniture and modern part of romanticism museum. If you are short on time, Goethe’s old house is a must and also first floor with paintings of the other museum.

Fascinating museum with great renovations! The house looks beautiful inside. They give you a map, which makes it super easy to explore each room. There’s also an upper museums with lots of interesting exhibits and interactive things to see. Definitely worth visiting! You can get a discount with the Frankfurt Card.

Visiting the Goethe House was such a great experience—it truly feels like stepping back in time to see how Goethe lived. Every corner of the house is filled with history: the kitchen displays old dishes you may have never even heard of, the games they played are still there, and the architecture and atmosphere are unforgettable. Even the smell carries a sense of the past. I wish homes like this were still being built today, but sadly times have changed. We only had a short layover in Frankfurt, and since it was on a quiet Sunday, visiting here was absolutely worth it.

Much more to this museum than we expected! Wonderful restored home with period furnishings and original artwork. Descriptions were in both German and English so we could understand and enjoy it fully. Don't miss this when you are in Frankfurt!

Nice place to visit in Frankfurt. The house is well kept and gives a glimpse of Goethe’s life. Not too big, easy to explore in about an hour. Worth a stop if you enjoy history and culture 🏠📚

Had a 12 hour layover and decided to visit this museum. It was money well spent and an afternoon of delight stepping into every room and space of Goethe history! I love the old grandfather clock that still works and the chime thrills through the house of Goethe, standby every half hour. We kept missing it. Piecing together the story of Joseph in one of the rooms was therapeutic esp for someone who doesn’t speak or read German. Thank God for google translator. The visit has a calming effect like as though I was brought back in time. The large glass frontage featuring the garden offered two perspectives. One from the front and the other from the inside looking out. After all isn’t the arts about perspective?? There’s a cool and ancient water fountain that I manage to refill my water bottle. It was refreshing to drink from the tap and the charge of 24€ for two person was well worth the ticket price. We got more than what we paid for. There was also a special corner where I could place a music score on a special device where I could listen to narration of the music composition by Robert Schumann and actually listened to the music being played. It was interactive and amazing. Love the modernity without compromising the beauty of historical arts and the subtlety of tech being used. Totally awesome!! For those with bags in tow rest assured there is proper storage for you to be hands free. Storage is free.

this is definitely a museum that you should take the time to see. They have three floors a various artist and art. It’s quite pricey. It’s €18 per person which I find expensive. entrance. People at the cashier were very nice. They were helpful. They also have bathrooms which were very clean a gift shop they also had a small café with a lovely young lady behind it who could speak English I’m always happy when that happens since I don’t speak German and I ordered a piece of the apple pie which she recommended and it was delicious and a cup of cappuccino. It’s a nice way to spend 2 to 3 hours enjoying the beautiful art.

Was skeptical it would be worth the 16 euro entry fee but for what you get, the price is reasonable or even cheap. The sheer scale of this place and the range in its collection is mind boggling. Beautifully curated. Temporary exhibition that was on at my time of visit was also very thought provoking. Exhibits range from religious paintings to contemporary paintings to sculptures to photographs and multimedia. I almost missed the underground exhibits but 100% make it a point to stop by. The modern experimental art is incredible (funded by various German institutions I believe). Genuinely could spend hours there. You can casually see famous artists works displayed. Lovely staff as well. 10/10. That’s how you do an art museum!!

Had a nice experience and spent my time well. There was Carl Schuhe collection when I went and I really like it. Also went up to the rooftop and saw the city skyline. The cafe is also cozy and has good collection of cakes. 18 EUR well spent.

Amazing museum with an incredible collection! You can see works by Rembrandt, Kandinsky, Bosch, and many others - really fascinating to explore! The contemporary art floor is also super interesting, full of creative and thought-provoking pieces. Everything is well organized and beautifully displayed. A must-visit for anyone who loves art! Also discount with Frankfurt ticket.

Amazing collection of Classical, contemporary & Modern works of art. Easily able to spent 3 hours there. Also the view of Frankfurt skyline was very impressive. Didn't have to go to the Main Tower for it.

An overall pleasant space surrounded by beautiful architecture, artistically designed staircase leading up to the rooftop terrace, overlooking the River Main and Frankfurt’s skyline. Stadel didn’t seem to have as many star attractions as some of the larger museums, but Schuch and French Art exhibition was an interesting theme. I downloaded their app to see if that would work as an audio guide, but it unfortunately didn’t work.

This large art collection is heavy on the old masters with northern and Italian renaissance masterpieces on the second floor. A new addition of stairs taking you up to the roof makes for a nice pause to take in the views across the river before you continue discovering the art in the rest of the floors.

Beautiful garden, it's so soothing to walk here. Families with kids, couples and groups enjoyed the mood. Next time we'll visit them on weekdays because the crowd was huge. We anticipated amazing butterflies but there weren't many.

The palmengarten was absolutely stunning and well taken care of, lots to see and the atmosphere is amazing. Its a great place for all ages, they have an awesome play area for the kids too. I just wish there were more toilets but other then that the place is a must see

Took my girlfriend on a date here and would happily return for more (both to the girl and the garden). The ticket price is well worth the experience, and I’d strongly recommend it to anyone who is looking to escape the cityscape into a lovely area of natural beauty. My only complaint was that it was so popular that many other people had the same idea I did, resulting in some over-crowding in a few of the areas. But overall, it receives 5 stars from me and a desire to return to lose myself there in the future.

Vast, almost otherworldly botanic gardens. Fascinating any time of the year if you have any interests in plants and botany. I went in autumn and the park was radiant with autumn colour. I went round clockwise from the Palmentgartenstrasse side and the think this was best. Started with nice lake views then onto the butterfly house and then the mind boggling greenhouses with various climate controlled zones.

Excellent botanical garden! Very large, with a wide variety of ecosystems. The tropicarium ranges from the Himalayan mountains to the deserts of South America. Above the waterfall there is a nice city view. In the underground grotto, there are aquariums with fish and plants from all over the world.

It is hard to describe the vibrant diversity of Palmengarten in Frankfurt. From the elegant glasshouse entrance to the lush tropical blooms, vivid cacti, and meticulously arranged flower beds, each image highlights the garden’s rich botanical variety and serene atmosphere. A perfect visual journey through nature’s beauty!

Palmengarten is a true treasure in the heart of Frankfurt. The range of plant life is incredible—from lush tropical greenhouses to peaceful rose gardens and desert cacti. Every section feels like a different world, all beautifully maintained and easy to explore. One of the highlights for us was the lake area, where we were pleasantly surprised by the variety of ducks! There were so many different species, all calmly swimming or waddling around—it added such a charming and lively touch to the serene atmosphere. We could’ve spent hours just watching them. The garden is perfect for a relaxing stroll, a romantic walk, or even a quiet solo visit. There are plenty of benches to sit and soak in the beauty, and the whole space feels peaceful yet full of life. Absolutely worth a visit if you’re in Frankfurt. A refreshing, scenic retreat with nature, beauty, and even some feathered friends!

Pretty great zoo, pretty quiet when I visited. Great variety of animals and species I had never seen before. Loved all of the birds! Pity the shops in the zoo were cash only though! But I enjoyed my time at the zoo with my photos. I would recommend but wouldnt need all day to visit!

The reptile and nocturnal houses were really cool! Coming from the United States there were a lot of animals I don't see very often in American zoos. It's small-ish in size but they really pack in a lot of animals without feeling like they're in small enclosures. We got here late in the day and spent about 2.5 hours here but we could've spent another hour or two.

What a fantastic day at the Frankfurt Zoo! A definite highlight for me was the penguin 🐧🐧🐧🐧 enclosure. They are so charming and fun to watch as they waddle around and swim gracefully in the water. The whole zoo is beautifully laid out with so many amazing animals to see. Highly recommend it for a perfect day out! ❤️❤️❤️

It's a small zoo, do not plan to visit for longer than two hours. It's nice but definitely not a destination. Small kids would enjoy a visit, it's not too full with people and you can easily get around on foot. Make sure to bring cash though if you're planning on having a snack (they do not accept anything else. Also Beware, the coffee at the park is a crime against humanity! The dark habitat and the reptile and rodent pavilion deserve a special mention, the animals all seem well taken care of and the enclosures look adequate for the inhabitants. Absolutely worth a visit.

We had been so looking forward to visiting the zoo in Frankfurt. But it was a complete disappointment. You had to look for a long time for a place to buy either coffee or something to eat. Where were the giraffes? Elephants, lions and tigers. We had been most looking forward to seeing them. There were none of these animals, so definitely not worth the money. So we left very disappointed.

On the good side, there are many kinds of animals, lush and pretty easy to walk around as it’s not too large. The downside was that it’s a bit worn down and old, we didn’t see any lions, tigers and other animals. One penguin looked like it was screaming and dying. Other guests were not too respectful to the animals, banging on the glass wall and pouring water on them. It’s fine for the price though, but 1,5 hours was enough.

Nice place. However almost every second sign next to an animal says: this species is endangered. Makes you a little bit sad. It is a good place to show people how serious the situation is in some countries.

Everyone who visits Frankfurt is a must do attraction for the city and other attractions are nearby as well. Overall it’s a good location for Photo.

A nice old place where you can enjoy the architecture, people, coffeeshops. In the heart of the old town of frankfurt, the place is very nice and worth a walk.

It’s amazing here, many walking tours also start at this point. This is like a prime touristy spot. Many souvenir are also around and restaurant with various different culture and countries are available. There is also a shopping mall nearby on walking distance. I suggest anyone visiting Frankfurt to visit here

I love this place, a combination of traditional and modern architecture is unique and beautiful! It’s touristy but still enjoyable.

Beautiful historical site. The Romer still stands in Frankfurt in all its majesty. This medieval building is perhaps the city's most important landmark. In the past it was regarded as the most beautiful square in Germany. Now it is a very popular square and a very good spot for photographs. Romer is the seat of the Frankfurt city administration. There was a sizable crowd there when we went to it. There was also some preparations going on for an upcoming national event.

Lovely and beautiful places in Frankfurt, Germany. The buildings are designed amazingly!

The Römer is absolutely stunning - a must-see when visiting Frankfurt! The old town square around it is full of charm, with half-timbered houses, cafés, and plenty of photo spots. You really get a feel for the city’s history here. It’s especially nice in the evening when the lights come on, and during the Christmas market it looks magical. Easy to reach by foot or public transport, and there are lots of restaurants nearby. A perfect place to start exploring Frankfurt!

First time entering this gorgeous building and it didn't disappoint. The staff were friendly and available , the auditorium spacious and acoustically good. You do need to take out a bank loan for a drink at the interval but all in all a great place for a show

The Frankfurt Opera is without question one of Europe’s finest cultural treasures. From the moment you step inside, you feel the blend of tradition and modernity that makes this house so unique. The acoustics are outstanding – no matter where you sit, the sound is rich, balanced, and powerful, allowing every detail of the orchestra and singers to be fully appreciated. The productions are consistently world-class. The repertoire strikes an impressive balance between beloved classics and bold contemporary works, offering something for both seasoned opera lovers and newcomers. Stage design, lighting, and direction are often daring and innovative, yet always respectful of the music and story. The orchestra performs with extraordinary precision and warmth, and the ensemble cast is among the strongest in Europe, with many performances easily rivaling those in Vienna, Berlin, or Milan. The experience is not only about the performance itself. The atmosphere in the foyer is elegant but not pretentious, with a welcoming feel that makes the evening special. Staff are professional and helpful, from ticketing to ushers, contributing to a smooth and enjoyable visit. The venue is also centrally located, making it easy to combine a performance with dinner or a walk through Frankfurt’s lively city center. Overall, the Frankfurt Opera offers an unforgettable experience that sets a high bar for musical and cultural excellence. Whether you are a devoted opera enthusiast or simply curious about the art form, a visit here is absolutely worthwhile.

The Alte Oper in Frankfurt is elegant. The grand façade, intricate lamp posts, serene fountain, and detailed architectural elements highlight the building’s classical splendor and the refined atmosphere of its surroundings. A charming glimpse into the city’s cultural heart!

Great architecture and located right near the main city centre. There was a beer festival in the surrounding area which was great

We went for FRATOPIA, a lovely free event to experience different music genres. Definitely recommend going!! Copyright image: Alte Oper Frankfurt/Nobert Miguletz/iStock/unsplash.com

Warning: this is about the outside, not the inside. It’s a massive building, and that’s the best way to describe it. There are some restaurants and hotels nearby, making it a great place to take photos.

Very Artistic. Been many times in the great to witness great performances.

A beautiful promenade near the river with several museums around, the cathedral is nearby, the old town, the bridges. Pretty much everything. You'll often see people enjoying their time here

I spent time at Museumsufer in Frankfurt and really enjoyed it. The area along the river has so many interesting museums, and walking between them is really pleasant. It’s a perfect spot for culture lovers and a relaxing day exploring art and history

A cluster of museums along the Main River, Museumsufer includes institutions dedicated to art, history, and architecture. It represents Frankfurt’s commitment to cultural preservation and interdisciplinary study across diverse academic fields.

Great place in Frankfurt for walking and relax

Maybe is better to explain better both on Google Maps and on official website what is that about. Not a musem but a Turistic Office. Also is needed an extra explanation about the location. The address shares the door entrance with the Ikon Museum.

Perfect sightseeing, particularly on Museumsuferfest...👌

Lovely embankment of more than 39 museums

A very good museum with innovative ideas to present “boring” history. We decided to go during a weekday around noon. We didn’t have to wait to enter and received instructions on how to start the tour. We liked the approaches used to present the city history. Also suitable for kids (possibly the main target group).

Comprehensive museum, covering vast sections of Frankfurt’s history. A great way to spend many hours learning all about Frankfurt, its early start and how it has become the money powerhouse of Europe. Beautiful exhibits with many interactive experiences. Friendly staff, good value for money

Just okay. Two of us paid about $16 Euro to enter the museum. There were 4 floors here. Floor 0 had a cafe, lockers and restrooms. We perused floors 1 - 3 and while there are some good historical items here, we found the museum to be laid out sort of oddly. The oddness may just be from our expectation of historical museums as often, they are laid out in a chronological order with signs and arrows directing you. This place was different. While we won't be back, I wouldn't dissuade anyone from coming here if they have the time and patience to explore it.

The Museum is an absolute gem for anyone interested in history and culture. The exhibitions are incredibly well-curated, offering a deep and engaging look into Frankfurt’s past—from medieval times to the modern day. The museum layout is intuitive, and the interactive displays make the experience both educational and enjoyable. The building itself is a beautiful blend of historic and modern architecture.

It’s an inconsistent scattered museum. Feels like a high school exhibition where different study groups present projects after a course on Frankfurt history. One might wonder if Frankfurt is too boring to have a proper museum its history. I think that’s not the case. The city was e.g. the capital of the German Confederation from 1815-1866. I could not find that information anywhere in this museum. I would have liked to know more. Create different sections in a timeline for the guest to walk through. Build it like any other interesting history museum.

Like some commenters, I also found it hard to follow as the exhibits are organized around themes and not chronological. Might be ok for someone already familiar with the history but rather confusing for someone trying to actually learn more. English narratives are available but often you need to crouch real low to read as they are placed rather awkwardly. Still, it was a couple of hours well spent. Particularly enjoyed the stories of Theodore Michael and Walter Schreiber contrasted against each other, very thought provoking.

I liked how the museum covered different periods of history. They also had extremely clean bathrooms on the bottom floor near the cafe. Outside of the cafe was a beautiful and relaxing area to enjoy a nice cup of coffee.

Good food. Burgers, salad, bruchetta, champions all tasty. However, the humus seemed to be from a family pack / super market. Inside the restaurant was a bit too cool. The winter garden is smoking area with some hot spots. For parking choose a parking garage nearby. No toilet for wheelchairs.

Great landmark location directly at the Eschenheimer Turm/Eschenheimer tower. The restaurant is in the Eschenheimer tower, with great sitting space outside. The historic significance , built in the 1400s adds value to the space. Recommend the burger and fries, friends had the flame and seafood they also loved it. Opens until past midnight so available foe a late meal too.

Thought this was going to be a tourist trap with overpriced average food. How wrong was I? The best beyond meat vegan burger ever with side of fries dusted in paprika served on a brioche with mayo and ketchup on the side. It's in a historic tower in the middle of Frankfurt. The toilets are up the tower, so make sure you've got plenty of time. A really great experience.

During my stay in Frankfurt lastJune, I discovered near my hotel a lovely Coffee-Bar-Restaurant called Eschenheimer. Very good dishes with courteous and professional service. I chose the place to be my home restaurant so I had the chance to taste several dishes ... and each dish was a bingo! Meat, seafood, pizzas, interesting salads ... and great beers. i arrived to Frankfurt once again few days ago and I’m dining there almost every day lunch or dinner. I enjoyed being there on June and I’m happy to be there again this week !

Great place for a cocktail. Happy hour until 22:00. Be warned though the toilets are at the top of the tower! Service is quick and friendly. Prices are reasonable. There’s a cocktail happy hour 18:00-22:00 with many offered at a reduced price of €9.50. Didn’t have food but what other guests had looked good.

Fantastic place to enjoy some drink after dinner. There are many tables outside (blankets are provided for those who suffer cold) and the bar is inside a tall tower you can easy spot from the neighborhood. Sound strange, but I suggest you taking some time to "visit" the toilet that on the 1st floor of the tower (take care of the stairs if you enjoyed too much drinks)

This restaurant has something very special, is inside and around a tower which was build around the year 1346, the tower was used to protect the city at that time, today this tower at Frankfurt downtown and you can test great international food. Inside the tower, the space is reduced and there is space for the bar and few tables but as mentioned previously around the tower they have tables too, either you want to enjoy good food inside or outside the atmosphere of the place is really nice. What not everybody know is that in this restaurant if you have a bigger event or special occasion you can make a reservation of what they call „Kaminzimmer“ this place is at the top of the tower and has much more space and is really nice to enjoy your drinks and food at the top of the tower. The food that I recommend is the one on hot stones, I love the stakes, prawns or chicken but they have great salads, pasta, pizza, etc. for drinks as well they have a big selection of wines and cocktails. On regards price i think you pay for what you get that is a great experience, moment and good food and drinks. The staff is friendly just in crowded ours somethings you need to wait a little bit to get serve. If you are near to Frankfurt and you are looking for a special place where to enjoy good food and drinks don’t hesitate to visit the Eschenheimer Turn restaurant you will like it.

Beautiful cathedral. Really enjoyed the experience. I went to the top of the tower, the staircase is really narrow steep and long so be prepared for a bit of a hike but once you are at the top it's a full 360° view of the city. The price was quite reasonable I believe it was €5 per person but I could be mistaken. 10/10 if in Frankfurt this is a great place to go. There's also lots of historical buildings in the vicinity including places to eat or grab coffee. Great place to spend an afternoon.

recently visited Frankfurt’s main square and it was an unforgettable experience. The beautiful historic buildings create such a charming atmosphere, taking you back in time with their unique architecture. What truly amazed me was the sound of the church bells – so powerful and mesmerizing that it filled the whole square with a magical feeling. I even recorded a video to capture the moment, but being there in person was beyond compare. A must-visit spot in Frankfurt, full of history, beauty, and soul.

The Frankfurt Cathedral is stunning — full of history and beautiful architecture. Climbing the tower is totally worth it for the amazing city views! Inside, it’s peaceful and impressive, with lots of detail to admire. A must-visit if you’re exploring the old town!

Beautiful and awe-inspiring cathedral in Frankfurt. Majestic structure which has peculiar aesthetic finish, especially inside it. What strikes a visitor first is the marvellous collection of statues and paintings. It is not very spectacular when viewed from a distance but when you are inside you are wonder-struck at the great assemblage of rare statues and paintings. The tall columns and arches all add to the grandeur of the cathedral. The picture of St Bartholomew being flayed alive gives a shudder to you.

The Frankfurt Cathedral (Dom) is an impressive landmark of the city. Its interior is solemn and beautiful, and you can also climb the tower for a panoramic view of Frankfurt. Definitely worth a visit.

It’s a good thing to do when you visit Frankfurt. It’s free to enter, of course you can donate to the church whatever you want to donate. It’s not a lot inside, it’s very simple and peaceful.

Wonderful cathedral with nice serroundings. Inside is very serene feeling for observance of mass. with beautiful colorful stained glass, many decorative artwork and spiritual symbols throuhout the inside of the church. So peaceful and calm feeling.

From the outside the church looks really good, even tho kinda small. Sadly, I couldn't get inside, because the heavy rain complicated my plans. I wish I could.

St. Paul’s Church in Frankfurt is a symbol of German democracy. Although no longer used as a church, it now hosts exhibitions and serves as a memorial site, offering great insights into German history. Definitely worth a visit.

St. Paul's Church has come to symbolize German democracy since the first German parliament took place here in 1848 and 1849. The church itself was designed by Johann Andreas Liebhardt (1713-1788). It was rebuilt after World War II by the prominent German church architect Rudolf Schwarz (1897-1961). On the outer wall of the church, there are numerous monuments including for John F. Kennedy (who spoke in the church in 1963), Theodor Heuss, Friedrich Ebert, and Carl Schurz, among others. The church is used for the annual award of the peace prize of the German book trade association. You can see its numerous illustrious award recipients on two plaques on the inside of the church. The main room is decorated with the flags of the German states.

St. Paul’s Church in Frankfurt is a historically significant landmark renowned for its role in German democracy. It is a former Protestant church used as a national assembly hall. The church is particularly celebrated for hosting the first freely elected German parliament in 1848. The church's neoclassical architecture, with its impressive circular nave and red sandstone facade, adds to its visual appeal. Inside, the spacious and serene interior provides a contemplative atmosphere. However the interior is very basic, so you could skip it unless you participating in some event.

Magical place with stunning architecture! Not crowded, so we had a chance to look around and enjoy every piece of the scenery

Not bad. Has a phenomenal 'meeting room' and there is a nice mural inside along with historical information. But nothing much else. Outside, the architecture is very striking and worth a look.

St Paul's Church is a former Protestant church in Frankfurt, Germany, used as a national assembly hall. Its important political symbolism dates back to 1848 when the Frankfurt Parliament convened there, the first publicly and freely-elected German legislative body.

One of the most iconic shopping centers in Frankfurt, MyZeil stands out with its futuristic architecture and impressive glass façade. Inside, visitors can find a wide range of international and local brands, restaurants, and a panoramic escalator that adds to the unique experience. A must-visit for shopping lovers and architecture enthusiasts alike.

Very modern mall in the heart of Frankfurt , loved the location and the fact that it is connected to my hotel and the other shopping streets I enjoy in the city … fun shops, movie theater, restaurants and great architecture

It gets extremely crowded on Saturdays, so I definitely do not recommend going then. Inside, there are no popular brands like H&M, Zara, or Mango. The restroom costs 50 cents but is large and clean. There are plenty of food options available, though.

MyZeil is an amazing shopping center right in the heart of Frankfurt. The architecture is modern and impressive, with a stunning glass facade and an incredible spiral escalator. There’s a great variety of shops, from international brands to local boutiques, as well as plenty of restaurants and cafés to take a break. Everything is clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate. It’s definitely one of the best places for shopping and spending time in the city!

Casual, clean and beautiful! There are also high, medium and low price options, the brand image is very good, a very good choice! The Frankfurt football team store is also here!

Those who love shopping, this is THE place in Frankfurt. There are a lot of shops, some of them branded ones. It is located in one of the most lively street Zeil. On the top floor there is a food court serving different cuisines. We came here twice and both times the atmosphere was very vibrant. Worth visiting...

Great shopping centre with excellent mix of shops and restaurants

Old buildings were restored after they were destroyed during the war, this place is quite beautiful. There are ample of restaurants to sip a beer outdoor. Architecturally it tries to mimic the old town. Walk along this place is quite interesting

Loved this square, very pretty (even with some of it being under repair). Smaller than I expected but lovely restaurants and bars, souvenir shops and a stunning town hall where we witnessed several wedding celebrations during our time visiting.

Römerberg, the old town in Frankfurt, is a beautiful place full of history. The old houses with their colorful and unique shapes still stand strong against time, giving the square a special charm. Around the square, you can also find churches that add to the historic feeling. There are many restaurants and cafés where you can enjoy dishes from different countries. A truly memorable place to visit and experience.

Römerberg is the heart of Frankfurt’s old town and absolutely beautiful! The historic buildings, cobblestone streets, and lively atmosphere make it a must-see. There’s always something happening — street performers, cafés, and photo spots everywhere. Perfect place to soak up the city’s charm!

Frankfurt's Römerberg, a main tour start point, pulsed with life. Paulskirche, the symbol of democracy, offered a stunning concert and during the Oct 14-18 Open Books event. History, music, and literature converged perfectly in the city's historic heart. Even I visited it was raining ☔️ so look for weather forecast.

This is a really neat area with older style German architecture. It’s an easy walk. You can also see the river, the bridge with the locks at night is beautiful. See it at night and during the day.

Really beautiful old square market. Pretty and breathtaking buildings. Many restaurant, shops with souvenirs. You can go from there to the museums, churches and Iron Bridge near the river. Easy to chillout.

Really disappointing. The art pieces are boring and intellectually lazy. There were more security guards than visitors. The building is nice and its architecture is interesting though, that's why this museum gets two stars instead of one. If you like art, I'd rather recommend the Städel Museum which is much more interesting.

Interesting collection of Kunst work. Clean modern gallery which wasn’t too busy. Audio tour comes as part of your 15 euro day ticket. Free lockers for bags and coats. Great cafe too!

Just learned free admission to the museum on the last Saturday of every month, I went for a quick visit. Currently, works of Rosemarie Trockel are exhibiting till 18 June 2023. I am just a layman who do not know too much about classic or modern arts but still found some amazing pieces of art. For example, there are 2 creations made with electric cooking hotplates that are on and you can feel the heat from them. Amazing, isn't it? What more, I love the internal architecture of the museum with long stairways and spacious exhibition rooms very impressive and pleasing. In fact, the paints on the walls are art works.

Loved the Trockel show. Building is a typical monstrosity privileging the design over showing art but what’s new… what is new is the nasty oppressive staff. You feel hunted by the security guards they must be trained to be angry and make sure there’s no joy in the air. Sad… guess it’s their thing. Great show however!!!

The architecture is somehow more interesting than the Exposition. I have been particularly captured by the contrast between huge white rooms and very tiny painting, forcing a sort of interaction with the art itself. Again, the building offers many occasions for looking around, from different perspectives, levels, from down, from up, from light to dark and vice versa. So, nice place to go to PS. The floor that looks "soft" is wonderful... :)

One of the great modern art museums. The showing of Candy Nolan was particularly powerful - barriers erected in massive spaces let both the artwork & building speak deeply, and gave space to ponder. The staff were helpful and courteous. The central stairway is truly amazing and itself a work of art! The new cafe is excellent.

The eclectic maze of a modern art museum. Crazily meandering into sensory overload. Some interesting pieces, but most are beyond my simple comprehension.

After you find the entry (not very intuitive), you‘ll see a notice about a temporary closure. When you go to the new place (13 min by subway) they tell you that they don’t have an tickets yet — or an exposition (but that you can look at the building).

Must be place! Surprising and unusual items invite thoughtful evaluation and discussion. It's worth visiting this place regularly, as the exhibition changes periodically.

Great modern art museum with changing exhibitions. I enjoyed the current exhibition of Carol Rama (1918-2015), a pioneering Italian woman artist who only got recognized late in life. Rama definitely had a her own style although her triptych reminded me of Francis Bacon (1909-1992). Her artworks included both figurative and abstract works. The artist lived her entire life in Turin.

Amazing exhibition space, I've attended the Casablanca School exhibition, although the entrance and orientation was hard to follow, especially by the entrance and exit. The overall experience was pretty nice.

Due to renovation, The Schirn will move temporarily to Bockenheim. The location at Römerplatz will be closed until 2027. New temporary address: Zeppelinallee 13. Wish could give no stars for poor information about its closure.

Just been there today for their Marc Chagall exhibition. It is well organized but today was too crowded. We bought ticket at 12 pm and had to waited for 1 hour to get in, understandable. But once we got in it was too packed I mostly saw people’s back. LOL. Ticket is 14€. Audio guide is available only in German. Staffs are friendly thou.

Loved the idea behind this particular gallery based on unorthodox musical instruments. But I give 4 not 5 because it should be more clear to the public that to really enjoy the soul of the musical instruments mixed into your living space you had to be there for certain times of the day on certain times of the week. I saw a guitar made completely from parts of guns... Very cool

Highly recommend the Jewish Museum not just for the exhibits but for the delicious, flavourful and delectable vegan food. The photo is of the Chaime (with Tofu). It is spicy and yummy! Come here and check out the restaurant on level 1 Life Deli. Best food in Germany!

Just came back from a great half day at the museum. Quite modern and clean look. Lots to read up on, can spend hours and hours here. Lots of security and a police vehicle outside, but the museum was fairly quiet and peaceful. Very wide collection and incredibly informative on not only Jewish history of Frankfurt (which is far more expansive than I ever thought, with the Rothschild’s and Franks) but also general Jewish customs. Cool interactive features too. Loved my time here and if I am ever unfortunate enough to end up in Frankfurt again, I know one nice and interesting place one could spend some time.

Very good idea to have a Juish museum in Frankfurt. There are things that could be better in terms of organization and display . The film in the pictures couldn’t be seen so some table displays that couldn’t be seen because of the reflections. Every thing can be changed to make it better.

I recently visited the Jewish Museum in Frankfurt and had a wonderful experience. The staff were extremely kind and welcoming, making the visit even more enjoyable. The museum itself is spread across three floors, with the top and middle floors being my personal favorites. There was a wealth of information on display about Jewish culture and history, including some personal family stories that were particularly touching. While the bottom floor didn't appeal to me as much, the overall museum was a great educational and cultural experience. I would highly recommend a visit to anyone interested in learning more about Jewish history and culture.

The Jewish Museum Frankfurt am Main is the oldest independent Jewish Museum in Germany. It was opened by Federal Chancellor Helmut Kohl on 9 November 1988, the 50th anniversary of Kristallnacht. The Jewish Museum collects, preserves and communicates the nine-hundred-year-old Jewish history and culture of the City of Frankfurt from a European perspective. It has a permanent exhibition at two venues: the Museum Judengasse at Battonstraße 47 focuses on the theme of the history and culture of Jews in Frankfurt during the early modern period; the Jewish Museum in the Rothschildpalais at Untermainkai 14/15 presents Jewish history and culture since 1800. The museum was refurbished and expanded between 2015 and 2020.

A trip to the museum can evoke a wide array of emotions in my opinion! My experience at the Jewish museum has been thoroughly incredible, the captivating architecture and calming atmosphere of the material used was astonishing. Quite contemporary setting and complex arrangement, yet interesting! Nonetheless, the presentation of the exhibits is informative as they use different methods to present informations. Interactive screen touch, sensory recordings and visual recordings and pictures.

What an amazing heritage site filled with treasured stories of Frankfurt Jewish life before and after the Holocaust. I highly recommend visiting this museum. The active audio display of reciting the names of the current hostages is moving and makes people of all creeds and ages, stop and remember the hostages and hope and pray for their swift return. The current room dedicated to Kibbutz Nir Oz is extremely impactful and moving!

Beautiful bridge with amazing views of the river and skyline! The Iron Footbridge is perfect for a walk, especially at sunset. You can see both sides of Frankfurt and all the love locks add a nice touch. A must-visit spot for great photos and a peaceful stroll! Also covered with locks! Great place for couples to stroll by

A perfect stop for travelers exploring Frankfurt! The Iron Footbridge (Eiserner Steg) is more than just a crossing — it’s a scenic spot where history, romance, and skyline views come together beautifully. I visited around sunset, and the reflection of the skyscrapers on the Main River was breathtaking. It’s a short walk from Römerberg, so it fits easily into any walking route around the old town. You’ll find plenty of people here — locals jogging, tourists taking photos, and couples leaving love locks on the railings. It’s one of those rare places that feels peaceful even when it’s busy. Tip: Visit early in the morning or near sunset for the best photos and fewer crowds. Bring a coffee, enjoy the fresh breeze, and take in the view — it’s a fantastic spot to feel the vibe of Frankfurt!

Great place to take a walk. You can start with the bridge and then go through promenade. You can get there with an elevator, so it is accessible for people with disabilities. Really fine and pleasant view. You can also go sightseeing with a boat. Pretty cool place.

Magnificent place with excellent views. I came to know about this bridge by my favourite movie Bommarillu (Telugu/India). Got rain while I was on the bridge, but didn't affect much. There are some surrounding places good for memory.

The iron bridge is a great sight. From the entrance to the other end, it is only a matter of a few minutes, but you will have covered an old iron bridge traversed billions of times. The bridge is a large one with wide steps leading to the entrance. Though it is a footbridge, it is wide enough for several people to walk side by side. It is also very good for photographs. It has become a landmark in Frankfurt. When we visited it, there were several other visitors proving that it is a popular tourist destination. Lovers used to leave locked padlocks on the bridge. Now there are tens of thousands of such locks on the bridge.

This is such a wonderful core memory moment. Standing on the bridge watching the kids look at all the locks and then be delighted at the other side of the bridge to see a gentleman engraving locks. The perfect ending to our month in Europe

Stunning Views, Historic Charm – A Must-Visit Landmark in Frankfurt! The Iron Footbridge (Eiserner Steg) is not just a pedestrian bridge — it's a panoramic balcony to one of Germany’s most vibrant and modern cities, steeped in history, culture, and breathtaking riverfront views. Whether you're a traveler, photographer, or simply out for a walk, this spot is absolutely unforgettable. As you step onto the bridge, the city opens up before you in a perfect postcard scene. On one side, you see the striking skyline of Frankfurt — a rare fusion of historic architecture and glass-covered skyscrapers that make this city so uniquely beautiful. On the other side, the peaceful charm of Sachsenhausen invites you with its traditional German taverns, cobblestone streets, and warm ambiance. The Main River flows gracefully beneath, offering mesmerizing reflections of the buildings and the bridge itself. At sunset, the sky turns golden-orange and paints the water in magical hues — it’s an experience that stops you in your tracks. Whether it’s day or night, sunny or misty, the atmosphere here is incredibly serene. The bridge is also known for its "love locks", where couples from around the world have left behind tokens of love and memories. It adds a layer of intimacy and charm that makes it feel like more than just a place — it’s a symbol of connection, both physically and emotionally. Tip: It’s one of the best photo spots in Frankfurt — you can capture the river, the skyline, and the famous Frankfurt Cathedral (Kaiserdom) all in one frame. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch live musicians or street performers adding to the mood. Easy to reach, open 24/7, and completely free — the Iron Footbridge is the perfect spot for a romantic stroll, a moment of reflection, or simply enjoying Frankfurt’s dynamic blend of old and new. Highly recommended — a peaceful escape right in the heart of a busy city. Don’t miss it!

Amazing experience🤠 My childhood dream was visiting a natural history museum of this size and abundance of exhibits. I’m giving 4 stars just because the air conditioning was off in the middle of July and the staff had to open the front entrance and rear door to cool down the visitors. Also some of the solar system sections didn’t have lighting. Overall as a Dino nerd I would recommend anyone to visit this museum!

Interesting museum with a large collection of species from all around the world. Everything is well specified and described. You can see a large number of different species, from the ones that are common and that you see everyday, to endangered ones and the ones who are, unfortunatelly, extinct. There is a part with skeletons, which is probably the most attractive part for the average visitor and children. A couple of skeletons of dinosaurs and fossils describe how Earth looked like a long time before humans. It is a nice place to learn, deepen the knowledge and get familiarized with flora and fauna.

Fascinating museum with a huge variety of exhibits - from giant dinosaurs to mammals and even displays about the human brain! Everything is well presented and easy to explore, with plenty of information and fun details. Great for both adults and kids, you can easily spend the whole day in here without getting bored. You can have a discount with Frankfurt card 🙌

Well worth the €12 adult entry, even as an English speaker who couldn't understand all the text. The displays are beautiful- they have a wonderful selection of fossils, minerals and other items, which are all beautifully curated. The layout is very cool, and the building itself is geometric and adds to the sense of wonder and exploration. Would highly recommend. I believe we spent 4 hours here and could have spent another 1-2hrs there - only left due to time restraints on our part. A small gift shop.

Kids were happy to visit and explore, nice environment and friendly staff. There’s a bistro on second floor for a quick snack.

Rate it as 9/10. As adults we easily spent 2 hours. All spectrum of animals, birds, fish, insects and more. I was quite sceptical before, but after visiting I can highly recommend it.

This museum is incredible! We visited from Canada and spent almost 6 hours here with 2 small kids who didn't want to leave! I highly recommend it!

Yes! Yes! That’s the answer I would give to anyone interested in going to these place. It was my second time going there but it was just as exiting as the first time. The old cameras and filming equipment makes a huge impression and from there it’s only better when you get to the floor with all the different actual movie props! 🎬🎞️📽️ Wow! 🤩 Don’t think about it - just go! 😆

It was a super fun experience! It is different from the typical art museum, so it was a refreshing experience. The vibes were nostalgic but cheerfull. They had collections from famous actors and movies but you could also learn of the process of movie making. It was cheaper than other museums in the area.

Very nice space...you can stay and observe things in there for hours. Best choice for a rainy day. The main exhibitions are remarkable enough...but try the whole thing. I lived the Alien showcase from the first movie.

I sadly expected more attributes or memorabilia from movies. One extra star for the very well prices movie posters in the shop! I would love to see some magnets there too.

Fantastic experience for anyone interested in the development of film, interested in movies and how they are made! Cheap tickets for students, I bought mine for 9€ for the permanent and temporary exhibitions. I spent 1.5h, but could easily have spent more. I especially liked the temporary exhibition during my visit on the third floor. All information is in English and German, so non-german speaking audiences can enjoy it aswell! Highly recommend for filmbuffs.

Outstanding and well curated exhibit. It was delightful and spectacularly interesting history of moving-previous making. We loved it.

THE BEST MUSEUM I’VE BEEN TO! Very worth it. I spent 3.5 hours here. Very informative and fun! The history of photography and filming. I felt like every inch of the museum is well thought of. The first 2 floors are the permanent exhibition. The third floor is their rotational exhibition. They are currently exhibiting Germany’s movie history in the past 20 years. The fourth floor is closed when I visited it should have workshops. The underground floor has a cinema, but it has to be bought separately. Tickets are €9 for students (permanent exhibition + rotational) you have to show your ID. There’s a place to store your bags in a locker where you need to deposit €1 or €2 which will be returned when you unlock it. They can also lend you a black chip that is shaped like a coin which you can return after your museum visit.

This is a Lutheran church at Römerberg that dates back to the Middle Ages. It was first constructed in the mid-12th century. However, the building you see today is from the the 15th century is Gothic in architecture. Luckily the church mostly survived WWII air raids with only minor damage allowing us to view the majority of the church exterior and interior as it was in centuries past. Well worth a brief visit while sightseeing around Old Town.

Alte Nikolaikirche in Frankfurt is a captivating historic landmark that exudes a blend of medieval charm and quiet reverence. Nestled in the Römerberg square, this church is both an architectural and spiritual treasure.

A small but very beautiful gothic style Church. I really love the design. It’s really is a captivating historical landmark in the Frankfurt area.

What a majestic great monument this is! I walk here on the first day (10/11/2022) of my personal trip at city Frankfurt am Main. Interior space is very spacious and there are many historic wall carvings. I also learned that many people who visited this church sat on chairs to settle down their minds. This is a good place for people who need to be completely quiet.

Small historic church, worth a look inside for a few minutes.

Lovely little church. Has a very quiet and pure Energy to sit and meditate. Simple structure, very beautiful with a tower visible from a short distance outside. At the edge of the Christmas markets which open tomorrow. There is a nice restaurant right behind it. A couple of souvenir shops and of course coffee shops. Cobbled courtyard. Perfect setting for the markets.

A small church standing at the south side of the Romer square with an attention drawing pointed Gothic tower. Though no comparison with the nearby Dom in terms of architectural grandiosity, it is an oasis of serenity amidst the bustling town square.

One of your top choices for art in Frankfurt, with a great garden for a coffee after your visit. We decided to walk to the Liebighaus starting from the old city center and it was worth it: nice houses and historic buildings on our way along the river. We were impressed by the range of the sculpture collection which never became too “chatty”: we never got overwhelmed by the quantity of the sculptures in each section, which added to enjoying our time there/ not being stressed to quickly move on to the next section. The lighting of the sculptures added to the experience, giving a warmth to the artwork. Definitely recommended

Diverse collection of sculpture in historic setting. Less than a block from Stadel Museum, so convenient to visit both prominent museums. One of a kind museum focused on sculptures from different time periods and cultures.

Lovely museum with a spectacular sculpture collection. I loved the exhibition on artworks made from ivory. Lovely café in the courtyard.

Peaceful and quiet museum. Don’t find much oversea visitor, mostly parents with kids. This is a good place to teach sculpture appreciation to children. The season we visit is just blooming. Can find different sizes of daffodils in the garden. Many beautiful sculptures displayed in this museum can spend at least half day there. Also few more museums along the river band. Staffs are super friendly and helpful.

A museum for lovers of human history shown through the creation of sculptures and statues. With very friendly staff, they will teach you a lot about what and how people constructed beautiful works of art from different materials. In the beautiful courtyard there is a cafe where you can enjoy cold drinks in an interesting environment. The entrance fee is 12 euros.

Such a cute easy museum to walk around.

A nice museum and a great exhibition! If you are interested in old sculptures, you should come for a visit. Right know they have a exhibition about Medea and the hunt of the golden fleece. Pretty interesting to go threw the historical facts and story's. You should come for a visit!

Beautiful place, i went there in May 2025, it was cold weather. The park is quite beautiful with lovely flowers.

Very beautiful place to relax in the city of Frankfurt am Main . Entry is free . Structure in the park are off like Chinese architecture. It’s comparatively a small park within the city . You need maximum 2 hours to completely explore each and every corner of the park . No dedicated parking facilities I saw there . I couldn’t find toilet facilities also in the park ( it could be there somewhere but I am not sure ) I have enjoyed the park with my whole family for about 3 hours .

A cool park in the middle of the city full of plants, and further down lies a Chinese garden with statues and all sorts of oriental motifs.

This section of the park is well worth a visit, the Chinese Garden is well kept, peaceful and serene. The park outside of the Chinese Garden walls is also well tendered, with flowers beds and grass well looked after

Great views and environment. The Chinese architecture is very pleasant to walk around. There is a chess section that is awesome and everyone is very nice and you play good games.

Nice place to walk around and take icecream outside..Enjoy the chess the people playing outside..

Really nice find in Frankfurt was the Chinese Garden. Well worth a visit for a little tranquility whilst in the city

The buildings that were destroyed during the war have been reconstructed to match the aesthetics and architecture of the old building. Every building has a story to tell and history to reveal. There are a lot of cafes and shopping spots here. It was amazing walking along the buildings

Loved it here, the square was so pretty and relaxing. A few lovely restaurants, most wanted you to have food and wouldn't just serve drinks, but we did find one at the end that was happy to just serve drinks. The square was smaller than I anticipated but the river walk, the iron bridge, boat trips, and bars along the river were amazing, really welcoming and buzzing with music and people, such a great atmosphere. I visited for a long weekend and spent each evening beside the river. The shops had a good range of souvenirs as well as practical items, and no matter where we went out who were spoke to, everyone was so friendly, informative and welcoming, even with my very poor attempts at speaking German.

New old town was an interesting walk through. Has some nice little shops and cafes, as well as some churches and historical buildings. We didn't have a plan for anything to do while here, so it was an enjoyable walk.

It’s nice that they could reconstruct the old town. However I think they could’ve brought back more buildings, the old town is small, but it is cute. Just a shame they didn’t make it bigger, but it’s still nice.

Cool area to explore, the architecture is great. One of the only areas in Frankrurt that isnt covered in Graffiti. Police actually patrol here, which is rare elsewhere in Frankfurt.

We loved the history, the shops, the food, the people and the view!! Our trip was shortened by some rain, but we enjoyed strolling through the streets and chatting with the shop owners. We had café and sweets, bought so.e wine to take home and some special soaps. We found mustard and jelly to take home as well as chocolates!!

A well laid out area full of restaurants adn cafes in the town centre and through the back streets. Its worth a visit for a few hours especially the church and the museums

Formerly the headquarters of IG Farben, this Bauhaus-style structure played a role in 20th-century industrial and military history. Now part of Goethe University, it serves as a case study in adaptive reuse of historically significant buildings.

Stationed there during the 80s. The history and architecture of the building are very interesting. I loved to ride the elevators, and in the winter, you can see where the WW2 underground flooded tunnels are. The snow always melts above the tunnel on the ground in straight lines.

A masterpiece of modernism by Hans Poelzig: great balance of forms and details.

Libraries are filled with interesting books to read and analyze. Classrooms and the lecturers and other people working in the university are all kind and undrestanding and help a lot. It's a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious university.

IG Farben, a name that brings memories of WW2 and the Death Camps... It is good that nowadays it's a very nice Uni campus, with lots of young people and a good vibe.

Wasn’t easy to find this building. 😅

Once a chemical industry under the socialist party now a school for finance

Guided tours are free but must be requested. Impressive office building near the river. A former fruit and vegetable market is part of the building. There is a visitors center and Holocaust memorial on-site.

Cool looking building, can't go inside or go near. But it looks nice and is right next to the river. It's a European institution, so it's worth seeing.

It seems a very interesting place to visit, specially if you are an economist like me. Sadly, you are not allowed to visit by yourself, hence my rating.

The architectural tour was enjoyable. The landscaping was beautiful..

A huge glass building that looks amazing, every time I look at this building it's like for the first time

European Central Bank popularly known for its acronym ECB. It is established in 1998 and located in Ostend district of Frankfurt, Germany. Running President of European Central Bank is Christine Lagarde. Its currency is EURO. The ECB member countries are the 20 EU member states that have adopted the euro.The ECB is directly governed by European Union law.

Beautiful Building. U can see thru it. Reall impressive

Definitely one of the nicest parks in Frankfurt! Being a blanket and some friends, walk your dog, join a sports group, go for a run, hang out with other parents by the playground :) Gets a bit loud and wild on the weekends, and it helps to like humans as the nearby university brings quite a few of them :) there’s also a fenced in dog area and some nice quiet corners to find. If you dare, come during sundowns around summer solstice where the fireflies migrate here from the neighboring botanical garden to work their magic on you ;)

Amazing clean and nice park for relaxing, running and also has several children’s playgrounds.

Beautiful park. Nice jogging tracks. Nice playing area for kids.

Grüneburgpark is quiet, clean, and perfect for a picnic. I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the many shaded spots under the trees. Only thing missing: some drinking water fountains throughout the park. Much needed during this hot summer.

Must visit park in the heart of Frankfurt. There are two play areas for kids to play. Also adults can walk around for a long time. It's a huge park, maybe second in size only to Niddapark in Frankfurt. I'd definitely go again.

Grüneburgpark is one of Frankfurt’s largest and most cherished parks, located in the Westend district. Spanning approximately 29 hectares, it serves as a peaceful urban oasis offering residents and visitors a perfect blend of history, nature, and recreation. The park’s name stems from the “Grüne Burg” (Green Castle) that once occupied the area in the 14th century, connecting the modern green space to centuries of local heritage. Historical Background and Design Grüneburgpark’s origins trace back to the medieval period but truly took form in the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1789, banker Peter Heinrich von Bethmann Metzler acquired the estate and commissioned the design of the initial park. In 1837, the renowned Rothschild family purchased the property, erecting a palace-like mansion inspired by the French Loire castles. They brought renowned landscape architect Heinrich Siesmayer to reshape the grounds into an English garden style, completed by 1877. This style emphasized naturalistic landscaping with meandering walkways, broad lawns, diverse trees, and picturesque vistas, creating a relaxing and elegant environment. The Rothschild palace was tragically destroyed during Allied air raids in 1944 during World War II. A black obelisk and memorial plaque now mark the site, reminding visitors of the park’s aristocratic past. After the war, the park was expanded and opened as a public green space, where it has become a favorite spot for recreation in the heart of Frankfurt. Natural Beauty and Features Today, Grüneburgpark offers a lush and diverse landscape featuring sprawling lawns, dense shrubbery, mature trees, and winding paths ideal for walking, jogging, rollerblading, and cycling. Visitors enjoy the spacious outdoor areas for picnics, sports, or quiet relaxation amid natural surroundings. It provides a refreshing and accessible nature escape for urban dwellers and tourists. A standout feature is the beautifully crafted Korean Garden, a generous gift from South Korea in 2005 during the Frankfurt Book Fair. The Korean Garden symbolizes the four seasons and features traditional pavilions, reflective pools, and native plants, offering a tranquil and culturally enriching retreat within the park. Grüneburgpark is adjacent to the Botanical Garden of Johann Wolfgang Goethe University and near the Palmengarten, creating a green ensemble that forms one of Frankfurt’s largest continuous natural areas. These connections deepen the park’s botanical and ecological significance. Visitor Experience and Activities Visiting Grüneburgpark is an opportunity to enjoy wide-open spaces, contemporary cultural events, and family-friendly recreation. The park hosts open-air concerts, theatrical performances, and seasonal festivities that bring the community together. Playgrounds and designated picnic areas cater to families and groups, while extensive jogging and cycling paths serve fitness enthusiasts. Numerous benches and shaded spots provide areas to rest, read, or admire the seasonal blooms throughout the park. The cafe housed in a beautifully restored pavilion offers refreshments, enhancing visitor comfort. Accessibility and Location The park is easily reachable by public transport and car, with nearby parking options. It lies between Frankfurt’s new university campus and the Palmengarten, making it a convenient green escape for students and city residents. Paths are generally flat and well-maintained, suitable for strollers, wheelchairs, and varied fitness levels.

Very beautiful place with a lot of green. Also there are some nice places where children can plan freely. Last not but least, there is a Korean garden which I think is certainly recommendable.

Most of brands are available for shopping

shopping street in frankfurt

Nice and elegant shopping street. Nice brands and good architecture. Enjoy wandering around and don’t hesitate to get inside the shops!

Nice place for shopping and walk…

Great shopping area in middle of Frankfurt

Buzy street. Too much crowded and under managed

Good for walking in the city of Frankfurt experience. Great shopping opportunities available on this street. Very busy street especially on weekends and in the evenings. Plenty of cafe and restaurants to choose from. You could also enjoy the street performance often on this street.

The Commerzbank Tower in the heart of Frankfurt is not only the highest skyscraper in Frankfurt, it famous and outstanding for its innovative architecture and design. Several gardens are integrated on different floors to make the airflow more efficiently and not using any air conditioning, except on the top floor. Lots of glass, even inside the building will bring daylight in the lobby and on a sunny day you can see the blue sky from the ground floor through all the windows up. This is a architectural masterpiece and Frankfurt icon.

This is a tallest tower in Germany and this is operated by Commerzbank. I thinks that’s the reason customer services of bank is not that great because I guess most of the expenses if going on this. If they start English services it will be much better for the user of this bank

very disrespectful staff, we tried to ask for information about a rooftop bar we thought was here and the lady from the reception was just nodding at us the whole time and repeating « only german » while she works for a international bank in a skycraper, probably because we are two young man not dressed like the norm. very unpleasant and unprofessional situation, hope you can do better next time.

It looked really pretty. Overall the Bankenviertel looked amazing and astounding when you were looking at it. Sadly, I didn't know you can go inside, but looking at other opinions - if you have a chance, go. The view seems to be amazing.

The worst bank ever. Really really rude on the phone. I wish they would learn how to behave with customers. All my money goes somewhere else for sure.

Great experiences

German Banks are all bad but these guys are the worst. €45 for three back statements, welcome to the 90s!

Very informative and the presentator guy very engaging and with attitude!! awesome!

Lea gave a concise, articulate and well structured overview of Deutsche Börse in her presentation—and was both an expert on her subject matter as well as not afraid to say “I don’t know” to certain questions.

The tour guide Nicholas was very informative. He went through the history of Frankfurt stock exchange. We learned a lot and he answered all our questions. We were able to see the current trading floors. Highlight of our trip.

Thank you very much for that very informative presentation! We really enjoyed it. Great that you are offering that educational program!

Great job! Our presenter Lea was very thorough and did an excellent job presenting to our students!

Maybe my expectations were a little high but there is not really a lot to see. Can well imagine that the floor trading appeared more exciting than what screen trading is today.

It is interesting to take the tour they offer (there's one available in English) and see how people work there and how the stocks rise and fall. Was a fun visit!

Cakes and desserts were very good. You have to order the cakes at the counter, they write it down for you then you can sit outside and give the written order to your server. Had a couple coffee drinks and a couple desserts. So nice to sit at their outdoor patio in the afternoon, shaded by the building, with a gorgeous church next to you.

Sat ourdoors. The sorroundings were cute, but it was rather noisy due to crowded area. Friendly staff. The cake was ordered indoors (which the staff later served to the table) and coffee was ordered at the table. The payment was also done at the table. They had a lot on the menu. And I just may have ordered stuff that is not of the best/nlt of my preference. Kaffee goldene waage tasted like coffee with strong alcohol flavour. The mini frankfurter kranz was great at first bite, but the buttercream made the cake feel too heavy/fatty without enough of other components balancing it. More jam would have been better. It is worth trying, but I would recommend sharing it with someone else.

Hot chocolate at its perfect time. weather was 7 degree in afternoon. Breeze cold weather stoppin by to get some warm chocolate drink. Indoor was full, outdoor, they provide you with a warm blanket. love it. Their chocolate was very delicious. we ordered meringue tart as well. Perfectly baked.

Under this amazing reconstructed building is a delightful little cake house. Full of wonderful and tasty treats they're a delight to look at and delicious underneath. Thou most German cakes appear to be dry, the one I picked was littered with cream and cherries. Absolutely gorgeous! Would Def recommend to try

Great, pretty building. Second room looked like a herbalist room, but it was cozy. Really nice place to drink some coffee. It wasn't really pricey. You can choose from many drinks and cakes. The staff were nice and helpful.

The Goldene Waage in Frankfurt am Main is a gem for anyone craving a moment of calm and indulgence amid the city bustle. I enjoyed a slice of raspberry cream cheese cake that was simply divine — light, creamy, and bursting with fresh berry flavor. The cappuccino was perfectly crafted, rich in aroma with smooth, velvety foam. Sitting outside, surrounded by the beautiful historic setting of the Römerberg, made the experience even more special. A perfect spot to savor great pastries and soak in Frankfurt’s charm.

I love the Hungarian “képviselőfánk” and windbeutel is pretty similar (don’t ask the difference). I don’t know if we took it from Germany if they took it from us, either way, eat windbeutel here, it is delicious :)

Wonderful place to discover in the heart of Frankfurt. Hidden assets in Frankfurts Old Town.

Nice and quilt place to visit. Nice wall paintings an art exibition in round rhe courtyard.

Not much to see, but beautiful atrium in the back. Security let us through to look, but back door connects to the Archaeological museum so we did not go past there.

Italian occult Greek mythology in one place as well as Mesopotamia and their gods makes the museum unique.

An old lady did not let us in the exhibition room because we were wearing our jackets. She was just plain rude and didn’t explain anything. We asked another staff she said the cloak room is in the other end of the room we tried to enter. What was her point? Tried to make herself feel important. We gave back and tickets and left.

Old cloister converted in an exhibition space. It usually holds interesting "discursive" exhibitions about Frankfurt with panels and memorabilia. The cloister can be visited as well and by itself is reason enough to check this place. It's gold as well for people interested in Frankfurt's recent urban developments. Avoid visiting it when the guided tours take place, the room is practically full and it's nearly impossible to focus and enjoy the visit.

The museum of the city of Frankfurt is small, but nice. It accurately presents the earliest history of this ancient town. As for the city archive on the first floor -- well, I'm disappointed with the people working there. I travelled 100 km only to find out that someone forgot to sent me an email. I needed expertise help and instead I got a history book...

(Translated by Google) Basically a great office tower in a prime location, top underground car park. Only the elevators are really crappy. (Original) Im Prinzip ein toller Büroturm in bester Lage, top Tiefgarage. Nur die Aufzüge sind echt schrottig.

(Translated by Google) Absolutely efficient office tower that has a large usable area. I think the look of the facade is very good. The whole thing integrates perfectly with the surrounding towers to create a charming symphony. (Original) Absolut effizienter Büro-Tower der über eine große Nutz - Fläche verfügt. Die Optik der Fassade finde ich sehr gut. Das ganze integriert sich super mit den Towers der Umgebung zu einer reizvollen Symphonie.

(Translated by Google) Neat and clean office building. Until a few months ago there was still a coffee machine in the foyer. Unfortunately, that has given way to the spirit of saving. Instead of free, you could have put something together with a small payment. (Original) Ordentliches und sauberes Bürogebäude. Bis vor einigen Monaten stand noch ein Kaffeeautomat im Foyer. Der ist wohl leider dem Sparsinn gewichen. Statt kostenlos hätte man ja mit einer kleinen Bezahlung auch was hinstellen können.

(Translated by Google) How should you value an office building?.... (Original) Wie soll man ein Bürogebäude bewerten?....

(Translated by Google) Cool tower. Good connection. (Original) Cooler Tower. Gute Anbindung.

It is not a huge Museum but it is very interesting and all the things displayed are selected with dedication and great knowledge. Very friendly and competent personal. Spent a little bit of your time, listen to original music from Hindemith and then enjoy to discuss with the personal they love it too. Drawback opening hours only Sunday 1100 til 1800 h. if you are lucky you can attend concert in the music room on the 3rd floor of the tower. Tickets are very rare only 25 people can attend and a concert.

(Translated by Google) The tower of the medieval fortification of the city, the only one that survived out of nine. In the period from 1923 to 1927, the building was the home of the German musician and composer Paul Hindemith. In 2011, the Hindemith Foundation opened a monument to the composer - his study - in the premises of the tower. Here is an exposition revealing the details of his life and work. Information about opening hours and current ticket prices can be found on the website. (Original) Вежа середньовічного укріплення міста, єдина уціліла з дев'яти. В період з 1923 по 1927 роки будівля була домом для німецького музиканта і композитора Пауля Хіндеміта. В 2011 році в приміщенні вежі фондом імені Хіндеміта відкрито пам'ятник композитору - його робочий кабінет. Тут представлена експозиція, що розкриває подробиці його життя і творчості. Дані про години роботи і актуальні ціни на квитки можна дізнатись на сайті.

(Translated by Google) The residence where Hindemith lived from 1923 to 1927. It is now a nice exhibition hall, with explanations in German and English. There is a concert hall on the top floor that can accommodate about 20 people. Great use of medieval towers. (Original) ヒンデミットが1923～27年住んでいた住居。現在は素敵な展示場になっていて、ドイツ語と英語の解説付き。最上階には20人ほどが入れるコンサートホール。中世の塔をうまく使っている。

(Translated by Google) Super cute and interesting place. Hindemith should be better known for what he has achieved. We were the only ones in the museum that Sunday, it was a really nice place. From the smallest “chamber music hall” in Germany, on the top floor of the tower, you can see the entire historical part of Sachsenhausen. (Original) Super süßer und interessanter Ort. Hindemith sollte bekannter sein für was er geleistet hat. Wir waren die Einzigen im Museum an dem Sonntag, war ein echt schöner Ort. Vom kleinsten „Kammermusiksaal“ Deutschlands aus, im obersten Stockwerk des Turms kann man auf den ganzen historischen Teil von Sachsenhausen schauen.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting location, was there for a small concert in what was probably the smallest concert hall I have ever visited. With 24 seats, the room was fully occupied. (Original) Sehr interessante Lokation, war dort zu einem kleinen Konzert in dem wohl kleinsten Konzertsaal den ich je besucht habe. Mit 24 Plätzen war der Raum voll besetzt.

(Translated by Google) Fine turret (Original) Feines Türmchen

(Translated by Google) A real treasure trove for Hindemith fans (Original) Eine wahre Fundgrube für Hindemith-Freunde

One of the buildings used by the European Central Bank with a Japanese flavor and a nice internal restaurant at the 25th floor. Great view if you happen to be a guest of the ECB

Windows 25 has an excellent buffet.

This place looks a bit out of place but in a good way. The most interesting building in Frankfurt in my opinion.

Amazing modernist structure. Worth visiting.

Modern building with magnificent view over the Frankfurt city center

Nice restaurant on 25th floor. EAUROPEAN Central bank.

Nice building with a great city view
