Holidays to Frankfurt

Frankfurt may be one of Germany’s smaller metropolises, but it packs a huge amount into a city crowned by a skyline unlike anywhere else in Europe. Along the River Main, the celebrated Museum Embankment gathers more than 60 museums and galleries, including the Goethe-House, while the historic Römerberg and beautifully rebuilt New Old Town form its picturesque heart. For a livelier side, cross the river to the quaint cobbled lanes of Sachsenhausen, famous for its cheerful apple-wine (Apfelwein) taverns and the local speciality “Grüne Soße” (green sauce). With riverside strolls, panoramic cruises and plenty of shopping too, Frankfurt has something for everyone.

It also boasts more than 60 museums and art galleries, most of which are located along the banks of the majestic Main. Here, along the so-called Museum Embankment, these cultural gems are set side by side like pearls on a string. One of the most popular of them is the Goethe-House, birthplace of Germany’s most famous poet.

The nearby Römerberg, featuring St Paul’s Church, Emperors’ Cathedral and, of course, the New Frankfurt Old Town, is another absolute must-see.The quarter has been entirely transformed and is now seen as a shining example of urban redevelopment.

The so-called “New Frankfurt Old Town” represents one of the most significant construction projects of recent times. With over 30 shops, restaurants, cafés and museums the district offers a lot of space to relax, enjoy and discover.

Those more inclined to sit back and relax are urged to head down to the riverside and enjoy the scenery from one of its sunbathing lawns or to take to the river by way of a panoramic cruise. One thing is certain – Frankfurt has something for everyone
