Birthplace of the famous poet, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Frankfurt is a comparatively quiet and compact city with plenty to offer visitors and sightseers. Sitting on the banks of the River Main and home to the European Central Bank, it has become an important part of Germany’s economy, and the high-rise offices and apartments have earned it the nickname ‘Mainhattan’. You’ll find plenty of museums, examples of superb architecture, and some fantastic and welcoming restaurants where you can indulge in the flavours of authentic, delicious German food. Those travelling with children will find a selection of family-friendly attractions ensuring that there’s something for everyone.

    Frankfurt holiday experiences

    • Wander Römerberg and the New Old Town: Frankfurt’s historic heart blends reconstruction with tradition. Colourful façades, medieval squares, and civic buildings tell stories of emperors, merchants, and public life, creating a setting that feels both timeless and lived-in.
       
    • Explore the Museum Embankment: A collection of world-class museums lines the riverbanks, offering art, architecture, film, and cultural history. Stroll between institutions or pause along the promenade, where views of water and skyline frame the experience.
       
    • Ascend Main Tower: From its observation deck, the city opens in all directions. The river winds through neighbourhoods, church spires rise among modern towers, and surrounding hills hint at countryside beyond the urban edge.
       
    • Visit Goethe House: The birthplace of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe offers an intimate look into literary history. Carefully restored rooms and exhibitions reflect the intellectual life that once shaped the city and influenced European culture.
       
    • Relax in Palmengarten: This expansive botanical garden provides a quiet escape from city streets. Glasshouses, themed landscapes, and shaded paths invite slow exploration among plants from across the world.
       
    • Walk the River Main at sunset: As daylight fades, the river becomes a gathering place. Locals stroll, cyclists pass, and the skyline reflects in shifting colours, creating one of Frankfurt’s most peaceful moments.

      Culture
      Cultural exploration flows along the Museum Embankment, home to the Städel Museum, German Film Museum, and Museum of Applied Arts. The Alte Oper and Schauspiel Frankfurt add classical and contemporary performances, while the annual book fair reinforces the city’s literary legacy and global exchange.
        Local life & heritage
        Riverside promenades fill mornings with walkers, cyclists, and café regulars, while Konstablerwache markets anchor weekly routines. Heritage reveals itself in Römerberg and the reconstructed Old Town, yet also in neighbourhood gatherings and relaxed park moments that balance Frankfurt’s historic continuity with modern urban life.
