    The old city center is the right place to start to discover Frankfurt history. Altekirche Nikolai and National Museum of History are representative for the beginning of the city.

    It's this sleek, modern skyscraper that totally owns the city skyline. The views from the observation deck are mind-blowing, giving you this epic panorama of Frankfurt. You can see all the cool architecture mixing old and new. Inside, it's all classy with glass and steel vibes. And guess what? There's a restaurant too, so you can munch on some amazing food while soaking in the scenery. Plus, being in the financial district adds this extra swag to the place, making it a symbol of Frankfurt's economic awesomeness. Whether you're a tourist hungry for views or a local wanting a unique dining spot, Main Tower is where it's at, capturing the vibe of Frankfurt perfectly.

    Construction in and around the station makes it a bit more difficult to use than is normally the case, but the directions within the station are clear and the platforms readily accessible. There are lots of cafes, restaurants and other amenities.

    The old town area of Frankfurt was more interesting part of the city although the 17th century half wooden houses were built to the original design in 1988. Still an interesting place for tourists and better than the more modern areas.

    This is a long stretch of street where there is only 1 thing to do, that’s EAT. There are many restaurants and ice-cream shops. You can eat til your heart content.

    Many of the houses look like something out of a Grimm fairytale or children's movie. Worth visiting for the fachwerk alone.

    At the first glance at the fountain, the same thought comes to everyone that Justice is depicted with her eyes open.... Just like in the German-Israeli film directed by Chaim Tabakman, although it's about something completely different... The Fountain of Justice is the oldest in Frankfurt, the first version was created in 1543. As you know, in order for the fountain to work, it is necessary to create water pressure. After all, a centrifugal pump with a drive that draws in water due to the suction force was invented by the Frenchman Papin a little later in the XVII century. The fact is that Roemer is located below the Friedberg field, from which water was supplied. There was enough water due to the high groundwater level, but it got here because of the slope. The first fountain was primitive in appearance and served the task of supplying urban residents with water. The sculptor Johann Hocheisen created the fountain here in 1611. He symbolically depicted not only justice, but also the self-awareness of Frankfurt. Already at that time, a trading city, symbolized by libra, but capable of defending the rules of trade with a sword. In 1612, the traditional method was added to the coronation of the emperor - water from the breasts of four nymphs is poured out at the corners of the pedestal as a symbol of fertility. Or maybe to please the sick Emperor Matthias with erotic details.. By the way, during the coronation, wine, not water, flowed from the breasts of the nymphs. It turned out to be two pleasures in one fountain: to caress a woman's breasts, and to drink wine... The emperor was the first to do this, then ordinary Frankfurters were allowed to approach their breasts. The wine was served from a building on a hill through wooden pipes. At the end of the ceremony, there was not enough wine and the enraged Frankfurters and guests of this glorious city vented their displeasure with vandalism, breaking off the details of the fountain. The current copy of that fountain stands here since 1887 and is also indirectly connected with wine, because it was created with the money of the wine merchant Manskopf. The figure of Justice was cast in bronze, and the bowl and column were sculpted from red sandstone, like the original. But, of course, the main damage to both the fountain and the entire German architecture was caused not by drunken fellow citizens, but by Anglo-American aviation in World War II. Surprisingly, the whole of Roemer was destroyed, and the Frankfurt Justice was not taken by the Allied bombs. Once again, the fountain was reconstructed during construction on the metro area and underground parking. But after the end, everything was returned to its original place, in its original form. To the delight of the Frankfurters who make dates here.... Well, and to us tourists too..However, the water no longer beats from the breasts of the nymphs. There is no such impression...

    Very tasty breakfast and good coffee! However, the seats are a bit tight, but all in all highly recommended!

    This tower stands in a quaint square on a busy road junction. It is mainly sandstone with bronze cones to it's peak and small bells housed in little windows. Nice to look at.

    The banking capital of Europe and the financial heart of Germany and indeed, Europe. It is a must-see for every traveler as it illustrates the togetherness of the European Union 🇪🇺.

    The Frankfurt's shopping mile is a nice place in the daylight, as it offers many shopping opportunities. Would anyway suggest to avoid the area in the dark, as it lately has unfortunately become a high risk area.

    Visited for a few hours of plane spotting. Lots of interesting traffic to watch. Excellent value for money at just at €3 per person. A staff member gives live commentary in German only. Large fence obstructs views somewhat. Small number of deckchairs and shade provided. You can get similar views from the McDonald’s alongside but it’s nice to get some fresh air in an airport.

    We have transited Frankfurt several times but never stopped before. We did his time and enjoyed a morning walk on our last day. The old town is more extensive than we thought and the walk along the river is nice too.

    This is a fabulous little square and was my favourite 'unexpected' sight. There isn't a lot there apart from a small fountain in the middle of the square that wasn't even working, but the buildings around the square are all different colours and styles with great originality and make superb photos shots.
