A brief introduction to Frankfurt

A majestic mixture of history and modernity, Frankfurt is awash with striking architecture, captivating museums, and a vibrant nightlife scene

Begin your trip with the quintessential Frankfurt experience - by visiting the Römer, which has served as Frankfurt’s city hall for over 600 years. While here, explore the three-peaked façade and medieval timber houses that overlook the quaint town square. To get panoramic views of the city, take a trip to the Main Tower, which is 200 metres high and one of the tallest buildings in Frankfurt. Be sure to ride the elevator up the first 190 metres before walking up the last 10 metres.

History enthusiasts will appreciate the 16th century Goethe House museum, which is the birthplace and former home of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. It is also the place where he wrote some of his most heralded novels. Many more intriguing museums can be found throughout Frankfurt, including the Schirn Kunsthalle, Historisches Museum, Archäologischer Garten, and Stadel Museum.

Frankfurt is also well known for being one of the originating places of European techno and has numerous bars and clubs, particularly in the Sachsenhausen and Kleine Bockenheimer Strasse districts, where you can experience this pulsating type of music.

Frankfurt is also a great starting point for a day trip, with the town of Baden-Baden being a sought-after destination since it can be reached in approximately 90 minutes. Popular among spa lovers since Roman times, it is famous for its thermal springs, public baths, and the luxurious Friedrichsbad. From there, head to the Kurgarten, which boasts a wide array of boutique shops, art galleries, and cafes. It is also home to the chateauesque 19th century Kurhaus.
