Frankfurt is a city of contrasts: Skyscrapers meet half-timbered houses, financial power meets apple wine culture, and urban buzz meets green escapes. Welcome to Frankfurt – also known as “Mainhattan.”
Skyline Views & Rooftop Spots
Frankfurt’s skyline is the most iconic in Germany. Climb the Main Tower for panoramic city views, or check out the rooftop terrace at the Zeil shopping center or Skyline Plaza for great photos and sunset vibes.
Historic Old Town & Römerberg
Just a short walk from the skyscrapers, you’ll find the charming Römerberg – home to Frankfurt’s historic town hall, quaint timber-framed houses, and the cathedral. For a real local experience, try a glass of Apfelwein (apple cider) in the Sachsenhausen district, the heart of Frankfurt’s traditional food and drink scene.
Museums & Cultural Highlights
Frankfurt is home to world-class museums along the so-called Museum Riverbank, including the Städel Museum, German Film Museum, and the Museum of Communication. Architecture lovers shouldn’t miss the striking European Central Bank (ECB) building.
Green Spaces & Nature in the City
Frankfurt is surprisingly green. Relax in the Palmengarten (Botanical Garden), go jogging in the Grüneburgpark, or enjoy a riverside walk along the Main. These spots offer a peaceful break right in the middle of the city.
