Frankfurt am Main, 6 hoteles

Frankfurt’s Old Town is home to three of the city’s best-known and historically significant attractions: the St. Bartholomew Kaiserdom, the Römerberg and the Paulskirche. Between the 16th and the 18th centuries, the Kaiserdom was where the German Kaisers were crowned. The Römerberg with the Frankfurt Town Hall - named the Römer - and the old Nikolaikirche form the heart of the Old Town. Since the 9th century, the Römerberg has been the scene of many important events. The Paulskirche is regarded as the cradle of German democracy. The National Assembly met here and created Germany’s first democratic constitution.

Sachsenhausen is a popular nightclub and bar district. Rows of cosy Ebbelwoi pubs are bustled together, and visitors can sample Frankfurt specialties like ‘Grie Soß’ with new potatoes and hard-boiled eggs or ‘Handcheese with music.’ Sachsenhausen is also home to the Binding Brewery and the former Henninger-Bräu.

Both the inside and outside of the 19th century Frankfurt stock exchange buildings are well worth a look. This is the most important financial market in Germany and one of the world’s biggest stock exchanges. Those with an interest in the market can undertake a free guided tour and witness all the action from the viewing gallery.

With its numerous bridges and museums, the Frankfurt Mainufer is a popular destination for expeditions. From the Alte Brücke to the Eiserner Steg, the many bridges crossing the Main are architecturally interesting. Visitors with a cultural bent will enjoy a visit to the Giersch Museum, the Museum for Applied Arts or the Liebighaus sculture collection. Those who are keen to make the most of good weather might prefer to relax on one of the many meadows alongside the Main river.

With more than 150 stalls over 1,500 square meters, the Kleinmarkthalle offers a wide selection of exotic and regional specialties. As well as buying goods to take home, visitors to the indoor weekly market can sample a variety of delicacies from some of the snack stalls on site.
