Bornheim
Bornheim is one of the most popular districts in the east of the Main metropolis and is known for its lively nightlife and variety of restaurants and bars. Surrounded by districts such as Preungesheim, Ostend and Riederwald, Bornheim is a small village with numerous restaurants, cider pubs and carnival clubs. Here you should definitely try traditional dishes such as “Grüne Soße”, Bernemer Schnitzel or Handkäs mit Musik.
When it comes to celebrating or feasting, you've come to the right place: Bornheim, affectionately called “Bernem” by the locals, is a district where people celebrate. The Dippemess in spring and the Bernemer Kerb in fall are festivals with a centuries-old tradition and real crowd pullers.
What is there to see? In addition to the colorful festivals, it is worth taking a stroll along the main promenade, Berger Straße or the “Bernemer Zeil”. This lively shopping street with its cafés and boutiques stretches from neighboring Nordend via Bornheim to Seckbach. Other attractions include the panoramic swimming pool on the Bornheimer Hang and the ice rink with 9,000 square meters of ice!
Sachsenhausen
Sachsenhausen is known for its small alleyways, cozy apple wine pubs and traditional Frankfurt cuisine and is popular with locals and tourists alike. Night owls are also drawn to the entertainment district with its pubs, bars and nightclubs.
The Museumsufer is home to numerous museums, including the Städel Museum with its impressive art collection. A boat trip on the Main or a walk along the kilometer-long green banks of the Main offers a magnificent view of the skyline.
What is there to experience? The Museumsuferfest with its grand finale fireworks and the large flea market on the banks of the Main are an absolute must!

The student quarter par excellence! As the location of Goethe University, it is characterized by an international and young flair. Various shopping streets such as Leipziger Straße and small stages and theaters make up the charm of this colorful district.
