The reconstructed buildings are beautiful, but it's kind of difficult to feel like you're in "Old Germany" when you're more worried about being run over by one of the bulldozers or other construction vehicles crossing the square. I guess we were there in a bad time of year to really get the true enjoyment of the area. There are some... More

This squared was marked like the real downtown attraction of the city but I was highly disappointed....it's just a square with very recently renovated buildings (it feels like Disneyland or the Universal Studios!) unappealing restaurants and bars and nothing to do.

Frankfurt’s market square was the birthplace of the city, where the first trade fairs were held in the 12th century. What is impressive is to note that the cute row of half timbered homes were rebuilt in 1983 - the square was completely destroyed in World War II. More
