Welcome to Frankfurt am Main – a city that, like a perfect routine in rhythmic gymnastics, combines elegance, dynamism, and excitement. Between the skyline and timber-framed houses, commerce and apple wine, a surprising choreography unfolds.
Old Town and modern skyline in perfect harmony
Just a four-minute underground ride from Frankfurt’s Festhalle lies the historic heart of the city: the Römer with the Römerberg — where countless sporting triumphs have been celebrated — and the newly redesigned Old Town. Here, timber-framed houses meet history— the perfect start to a Frankfurt experience, whether on your own or on an exciting and entertaining guided tour.
A few turns further on, the modern skyline soars into the sky: The Main Tower offers arguably the most spectacular view of the city — our tip for the best skyline selfie from above. Especially magical: the sunset after a long day of competition at a height of around 200 metres.
Go with the flow by the river
Like a ribbon, the Main winds its way through the city. Jog, stroll, or simply take a deep breath — the Museumsufer, home to the world-famous Städel Museum and numerous other art and cultural venues, effortlessly blends culture with leisure.
Tip: An evening boat tour on the Main — a change of perspective guaranteed. Right next to the dock on the Eiserner Steg is the spot for the perfect photo.
The taste of Frankfurt
Recharge like true champions — Sachsenhausen is the best place to do it. In the apple wine taverns, “real Frankfurt” reveals its traditional, culinary side. The rustic ambience, featuring Frankfurt classics like Frankfurter sausages or ribs with sauerkraut, pairs perfectly with Frankfurt’s local drink — Ebbelwei. You can also enjoy this delicacy from August 7 to 16 at the Frankfurt Apple Wine Festival on the Roßmarkt: Right in the heart of the city, apple wine from local orchards, live music, and a relaxed summer atmosphere create an authentic Frankfurt experience against the backdrop of the city’s impressive skyscrapers.
Plus: Frankfurt’s unique Grie Soß’ is a culinary must-try.
