It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here are seven must-see sites in Frankfurt, Germany.
Along both banks of the river Main is Museumsufer, a series of 39 museums. Top museums include Städel art museum, German Architecture Museum, Communication Museum, Historical Museum and Caricatura Museum, among others. © Michalakis Ppalis | Dreamstime.com
Across the river Main is Eiserner Steg, a wrought-iron footbridge. The current bridge was rebuilt after World War II in 1946, and visitors and locals today adorn the bridge with love locks to symbolize eternal love. © Diego Grandi | Dreamstime.com
Frankfurt’s opera scene is a rich one, with many world premieres taking place in the city. Today’s opera house was rebuilt in 1963 after the original was destroyed in World War II. The award-winning opera house continues to host works year-round. © Rosshelen | Dreamstime.com
Within Frankfurt is the Altstadt, the historic old town of the city. This section was once one of the largest half-timbered towns in Germany until World War II. From 2012 to 2018, a small part of the old town was reconstructed. In old town, look for any number of restaurants or bars serving apfelwein (apple wine), popular in the city. © 4kclips | Dreamstime.com
Frankfurt Cathedral, in the city’s old town, has origins as far back as the seventh century. The original cathedral was constructed under Louis the Pious, son of Charlemagne. For a time, emperors of the Holy Roman Empire were elected in this church as Kings of the Romans. The current cathedral was built in the 1950s in the Gothic style. © Sean Pavone | Dreamstime.com
The site of many imperial coronations, Christmas markets and trade fairs, Römerberg is a public square in the heart of old town. This space has a lengthy history; it was the site of a Nazi book burning in 1933, features the Fountain of Justice, and was where Frankfurt’s first bank was founded. © Vichaya Kiatyingangsulee | Dreamstime.com
Combine sightseeing with a tram ride on Ebbelwei Express, a special tram ride that winds through Frankfurt’s streets. This hour-long journey includes traditional German music and food. © Meinzahn | Dreamstime.com
