Frankfurt, Germany, with its frenetic business centre of stark skyscrapers and global finance companies, is not nearly as cold and impersonal as it seems.

Venturing beyond the central city business area leads you to a place rich in culture, history, and natural surroundings. 

With sights to visit, including the medieval Römer City Hall buildings in the historic Old Town and the city’s world-renowned art and history museums along the banks of the River Main, Frankfurt offers a wonderful balance of past and present.

Pretty neighbourhoods, delicious local food, and soaking up the sun in one of the city’s parks—the botanical garden, the Palm Garden, and even the Frankfurt City Forest—offer something for everyone to enjoy. History buffs, aspiring artists, epicureans, and lovers of the great outdoors will come away having had an exceptional travel experience when visiting Frankfurt.

Exploring Frankfurt's Historic Heart

Kick off your visit on the main square, the Römerberg has been the heart of the city for nearly a thousand years and is the perfect starting point to understand its rich history. Surrounded by the city’s traditional timber-framed houses, few sites are more emblematic of Frankfurt’s indomitable spirit.

The Römer, Frankfurt’s magnificent town hall, stands at one end of the square. These medieval walls stand in stark contrast to the 1950s building that makes up the other three sides of the square.

Cultural Delights Along the River Main

Stroll along the Museumsufer (Museum Embankment), where the south bank of the Main River is lined with museums housed in beautiful villas. This cultural hub is perfect for art enthusiasts and those looking to immerse themselves in the city's artistic heritage. For a unique experience, consider a river cruise to see Frankfurt's skyline from a different perspective.

Nature and Relaxation in the City

Escape the city and head over to Frankfurt City Forest, one of Germany’s largest urban forests. With over 58 square kilometers of trails, ponds, and rest areas to visit, it’s perfect for joggers, cyclists, and nature lovers. For a little more peace and quiet, in the middle of the city, the PalmenGarten offers a botanical garden.

Culinary Experiences and Local Flavors

A trip to Frankfurt would not be complete without enjoying good food. Try traditional dishes such as Handkäs mit Musik and Grüne Soße and enjoy them best in one of the apple wine pubs in Sachsenhausen. If that is not enough, you can eat your way around the world here, from a Michelin-star restaurant to neighborly street food shops.
