Frankfurt surprises. On one side, the towers of the financial district glisten in the sunlight, while on the other, you can stroll through streets where half-timbered houses whisper stories from the Middle Ages. The Römerberg square is one of those places where time seems to stand still, with the centuries-old town hall Römer as its shining centerpiece.
For those who dare to go up, the Main Tower is the choice. From the panoramic deck, the city unfolds in 360 degrees: the River Main winds its way between bridges, while in the distance, the hills of Taunus gently rise. Along that same river lies the Museumsufer, where art and history meet in world-class museums, such as the Städel Museum.
In the Goethe-Haus, you can experience the atmosphere of 18th-century Frankfurt and get to know the young Johann Wolfgang von Goethe before he made his mark on world literature. Need a break from the city's hustle and bustle? The Palmengarten welcomes you with tropical palms, fragrant flowers, and hidden paths.
Frankfurt is also a city of flavors and aromas: from international delicacies at the market to a cool glass of "Apfelwein" in a wooden tavern in Sachsenhausen. Here, between old and new, between tradition and progress, you discover a city that continues to surprise you – time and again in a different way.
