Sights That You Must Go In Frankfurt City Of Germany

There are lots of beautiful areas throughout Germany which are ideal as a base for spending a long weekend or holiday away from home.

But if you prefer cities to the more quiet areas of the country, then Frankfurt should feature high up on your list. It is one of the biggest cities in the whole of Germany, and is a vibrant and exciting place to be.

And of course it is experienced at catering for the tourists too. As you would expect from a city this size, it boasts several main locations that no self respecting tourist should miss. Just be sure to take your camera with you wherever you go!

Your first stop should be Romerberg Square. This is a very picturesque area, and one of the most famous locations in all of Frankfurt. But it hides a secret that not everyone is aware of. While the square has a long history which dates back centuries, some of the current buildings are only a few years old. This is because the square was a heavy casualty of the Second World War. The buildings have been renovated and recreated since then, but they are not the originals. With that said though, they still make for a stunning photo opportunity!

Going from the old to the new, the Main Tower in Frankfurt is another must see. This is located in the heart of the business district as you might expect, but it provides an ideal tourist opportunity as well. This is partly because of the viewing platform which is over 180 metres above ground level. If you have the stomach for it, grab your camera and get the best possible view over the city. And once you have done that you can enjoy a meal in the restaurant there too. It is a wonderful way to enjoy the view as well as sampling some of the city’s most delectable dishes.

If all the sightseeing builds up the need to explore some shops, don’t miss the Zeil. This is Frankfurt’s equivalent of Oxford Street in London, and it definitely should not be missed. One of the best parts of this area is that it is pedestrianised. This means that not only is there no traffic around to worry about, but you can also enjoy the greenery that has become a part of the design of this winding street.

As such, it makes an ideal venue for a day out all year round. During the summer the trees which form a green carpet down the middle of the Zeil act as a nice shady area to relax and rest your tired feet.

There is plenty more to discover in Frankfurt too. But if you do get stuck for ideas then many of the hotels in Frankfurt should be able to offer further advice on attractions to visit.
