Frankfurt Travel Guides

36 articles

Frankfurt is Germany's financial capital, a dynamic city that fuses Europe's most striking skyline with restored medieval heritage, world-class museums, and a buzzing food scene. Tick off the icons — the reconstructed half-timbered Römerberg square, the Main riverfront and its Museumsembankment, the Goethe House, the soaring Main Tower viewing platform, and the Frankfurt Christmas Market — then go deeper into the neighbourhoods: trendy Bockenheim, leafy Sachsenhausen with its apple-wine taverns, the Palmengarten botanical oasis, and the bank-lined banking district. Easy to reach and easy to explore on foot or by U-Bahn, it's a safe, cosmopolitan base for cozy café afternoons and day trips across Hesse. These guides cover budget itineraries, transit and walking routes, apple-wine lunches, Christmas markets, and trips out to Heidelberg and the Rhine Valley.
