Frankfurt
Germany
Frankfurt, often dubbed 'Mainhattan' for its striking, modern skyline, is the financial heart of Germany and continental Europe. However, beyond the glass and steel towers of the banking district, the city is a study in contrasts. It offers a rich historical core in the beautifully restored half-timbered houses of the Römerberg, a concentration of world-class culture along the Museum Embankment, and a relaxed, cosmopolitan vibe that belies its corporate reputation. This modern metropolis is surprisingly livable and packed with authentic markets and cozy, traditional Apfelwein taverns.

Things to Do
Explore popular activities, attractions, and places to visit in Frankfurt.
Explore the Historic Römerberg Square
The Römerberg is the picturesque central square of Frankfurt's Altstadt (Old Town) and a quintessential must-see. It is famous for its eastern row of reconstructed half-timbered houses and the iconic Römer, the city hall since the 15th century. While most structures were rebuilt after WWII, the area retains its medieval charm and serves as a vital historical and photographic backdrop for the city. It’s an essential first stop to ground yourself in Frankfurt’s history before exploring its modern side.
Wander the Museumsufer (Museum Embankment)
Situated along both banks of the Main River, the Museumsufer is one of Germany’s most significant cultural clusters, boasting over a dozen museums within easy walking distance. Key institutions include the world-renowned Städel Museum, focusing on old masters to modern art, and the German Film Museum. Insider Tip: If traveling with kids, check out the 'Satourday' program on the last Saturday of every month for free entry and special family programs across participating museums.
Taste Local Delicacies at Kleinmarkthalle
To experience the authentic, everyday life of Frankfurters, visit the bustling Kleinmarkthalle, an indoor market that has been a local favorite for decades. Here, you can find a sensory feast of fresh produce, international foods, and local specialties like *Frankfurter Grüne Soße* (Green Sauce) and various sausages. It's the perfect, lively spot to grab an authentic Apfelwein (apple wine) and a traditional lunch at one of the food stalls, escaping the usual tourist path.
Discover the Medieval Hoechst Old Town
Tucked away in the western district of Hoechst, this completely preserved Altstadt is a fantastic hidden gem that feels miles away from the city center’s skyscrapers. The quarter features a stunning ensemble of half-timbered houses, the beautiful Bolongaro Palace, and the historic Justinuskirche, which dates back to the 9th century. Take a quiet stroll through the cobblestone streets to see an untouched side of Frankfurt's past and enjoy a peaceful afternoon away from the crowds.
Relax in the Botanical Oasis of Palmengarten
The Palmengarten, or Palm Garden, is one of three botanical gardens in Frankfurt and serves as a vast, tropical oasis in the urban environment. It encompasses large glasshouses featuring exotic plants from various climate zones, sprawling lawns, and beautiful flowerbeds. Visitors can enjoy paddle boats on the lake or simply wander the grounds to take a relaxing break. This calm environment is perfect for a family outing or a quiet moment of reflection.
