What to do in Frankfurt?
Well some people might say it is possible to gain within one day a general understanding of the city and its sightseeing spots. However others enjoy here a far longer time, a brief introduction:

Old historical town (including “Römerberg”, “Paulskirche”, “Kaiserdom”, “Eiserner Steg”, “Historical Museum”, “Saalgasse”)

Frankfurt is rich of museums, such as:

- GoetheMuseum

- Städel (paintings)

- Schirn or MMK (both modern art)

- 2 x Jewish Museum

- DialogMuseum (reservation required)

Senckenberg (Natural museum)

Plz note special offer the MuseumsuferCard which gives you entrance in up to 39 museums 2 days long for 21 EUR ( https://www.museumsufer.de/en/admission-und-tickets/season-tickets/museumsuferticket/ )

Further places of interest:

- Maintower this skyscraper offers a public viewing platform on the roof top (9,00 EUR)

- Stock market (please note you will need to make reservation one day in advance)

- Palmengarten, comfortable in winter cause of the heated up glas houses, pretty in summer due to the growing flowers outside

Frankfurt is a great place for shopping, from the big shopping street “Zeil” up to the more luxurious shoppging street “Goethestrasse” there are options for all tastes and wallets.

Sightseeing tours:
By walking with tourguide, or individual by sightseeing bus hopp on hopp off, or taking a boat trip up and down the main river

And don’t miss the Frankfurter nightlife, from alternative to high class, from small bars up to 5 floors discos, After work parties, Live music venues, Salsa dancing and special theme parties like Bollywood or K-Pop….

Or relax at one of the parks:

- Along the Main river

- The green belt (surrounding the city center)

- Grüneburgpark (with a small Korean Garden)

- Bethmannpark (with small Chinese Garden)

Frankfurt has also Germanys biggest exhibition center, hosting the world wide number one book fair, check the calender at “Frankfurter Messe”

And in Frankfurt are throughout the year a number of special events, full of attractions, shows and live music

Check what is playing:

- “Alte Oper” + “Oper Frankfurter” (both opera houses)

- The English Theatre

Or watch a live game of the local team:

- Eintracht Frankfurt (soccer, first German league)

- Fraport Skyliners (Basketball, first German league)

Besides the city center, there are further districts of Frankfurt easy to reach and worth to see, such as:

- Alt Sachsenhausen, known for a number of traditional German Restaurants as well as nightlife area packed of Frankfurter Apple wine Pubs and bars

- Frankfurt-Höchst, has also an old historical town and there is the second oldest porcelain manufacturing of Germany

- Sachsenhausen, going up the little hill of Frankfurt, you will reach at the top of the Frankfurter forest the 43 meters high wooden Goetheturm tower, which provides a free view over the whole city

And if you have covered Frankfurt itself you can go for day trips of places close by, examples:

- Heidelberg (lovely city), by bus/train 1 hour / 20 EUR round trip
