From modern skycrapers to timber-frame townhouses
43 ways to discover Frankfurt
Few cities have evolved as dynamically as Frankfurt, while simultaneously embracing its roots and traditions. Join us on a journey from the city centre to the surrounding neighborhoods, exploring weekly markets, rooftop bars, “water-houses” and parks.
Frankfurt City Centre
Unique in all of Germany: The Frankfurt skyline. It is the most popular photo motif and the place to be. Numerous rooftop terraces, rooftop bars and hotel rooms with spectacular views bring the skyline to life and guarantee unforgettable moments. In summer and in winter.
New Frankfurt Old Town
Frankfurt not only reinvented itself with the restoration of this historical quarter in the heart of the city, it also rediscovered its roots. The New Frankfurt Old Town is a mix of modern buildings and historical reconstructions, museums, restaurants, small cafés and shops. A place where history comes alive.
Thirsty for some local flair? "Water-houses" such as "Nox", "Fein" and "Gudes" have a long tradition and continue to be much-loved meeting places to this day.
Sachsenhausen and the Bridge Quarter
The road across Alte Brücke inevitably leads to Sachsenhausen’s most charming neighbourhood: The Bridge Quarter (Brückenviertel) is no more than a square kilometre in size, but features a surprisingly large number of small cafés and independent shops. Right next door, Frankfurt traditions are preserved at the apple wine pubs of Alt-Sachsenhausen.
North End and Bockenheim
Grand old villas, countless green spaces and a colourful blend of independent cafés, restaurants and shops – This combination is what makes the North End (Nordend) north of the city centre so popular. Berger Straße and Oeder Weg are particularly well suited for a shopping spree or a culinary stopover.
The Palmengarten, the banks of the River Main, the Chinese Garden, the GreenBelt: Frankfurt is home to more than 50 parks and gardens, which offer relaxation and a stage for cultural events.
Höchst
Anyone willing to board the small river ferry in the western part of Frankfurt for a trip to Höchst – with its historical timber-frame old town – is guaranteed to experience Frankfurt from an entirely different perspective. Two magnificent architectonic structures, the gleaming white Höchst Castle and the splendid Bolongaro Palace, are enthroned on the River Main.
