♡ Save
Join us to explore Frankfurt's iconic buildings and squares, from Alter Oper to Hauptwache and beyond. Discover the city's rich history and vibrant landmarks with our guided tour.
The starting point is the Old Opera, and then we continue to the Frankfurt promenade until Goethe Square. We can talk about Goethe and Johannes Gutenberg and continue to Hauptwache Square. Then, we walk to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and make a turn back at Eschersheimer Turm.
Thurn and Praxis Palace are on their way back. We continue along the promenade. Here stands a saying, "At Zeil, shop for a while," because of the shopping area. Then we continue to the New "Old Town." Reconstructed as it was before WW2. We see kaiserdom, Cathedral of Frankfurt, Chicken Market, and Römer Building or Town Hall, Alte Nikolai Church, Fountain of Justice, Burning Books Memorial, and '' Ost Zeile''.
In extra time we check Apple Wein Mosaic, Paul Church, Medieval Hause Werthyem and River Main.
