10 Free Things to do in Frankfurt That You Shouldn't Miss
There’s plenty to see and do in this 2,000-year-old German city. The gothic Saint Bartholomeus Cathedral is a perseverant structure, having been destroyed and rebuilt twice since its 14th century construction. Catch a screening at the German Film Museum, stroll the exhibit halls of one of Frankfurt’s many galleries, or climb to the top of the Main Tower for sweeping 360-degree views of the city.

This historic cathedral served for 300 years as the site of coronation for Holy Roman Emperors.

The St. Bartholomew Cathedral tower is well worth climbing for the views of the old town, the Main river & greater Frankfurt. The viewing platforms are at a height of 66 meters and are reached via a long stone spiral stairs. Hard on the legs as there are no stops along the way. Well worth it though for the amazing 360 degree views from the top. The descent is easier.

Destroyed by Allied bombing in 1944, Frankfurt's beautifully reconstructed opera house was reopened in 1981. It's now a major venue for concerts and operas.

The old Opera House was basically destroyed during the war, but has risen Phoenix like with a superb warm and great sounding interior. Very close to our hotel, a free evening for us in the City coincided with an excellent concert by the Frankfurt Radio Orchestra, which was an unexpected musical treat for us. The quality of the orchestra and soloist could not be faulted and we would certainly visit again.
3. Geldmuseum

The Money Museum is an interactive place for exploring the world of money. How is cash produced? What is book money? How does monetary policy work and what exactly does a central bank do? What role does money play in a globalised world? Striking exhibits, attractive staging and more than 80 media stations with games and interactive information provide answers to these and many more money-related questions. The topics are approached from both a current and a historical perspective. The exhibition is both in German and English.

A great place for a walk with the dogs or just to take in the views of the Frankfurt skyline. The area has a vineyard and an apple orchard - visit the orchard and pick your own fruits to take home. Your can also buy food and drinks here, but otherwise you are free to picnic or barbeque your own food. We visited a wonderful restaurant serving Local cuisine and overlooking the oak and skyline. Parking was a little problematic as we visited on a beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon, but we found some space after a minute or two. Highly recommend this visit.

Culture pure in Frankfurt. Dozens of museums open their doors, shows, workshops, art, music speciality handwork is on view all along the river on both banks. A yearly extravaganza ending in a massive firework show. Don't miss the dragon boat racing and, of course, plenty to eat and drink, this is, after all, in Germany.For a non-mainstream music entertainment I always go to the RadioX stage (below the Holbein foot bridge), always something new and interesting to hear.

Very fun place to visit. Within a few blocks there are plenty of places to eat and shop. I visit here every time I'm in town on business and try to hit Saturday for wine tastings just a couple blocks from here. Nice little cafe in the building on the left. Lady there makes great treats and good coffee. Next to them is a store that sells little gifts to take home and accros the square is a place I like to get my beer and a dog. Walk across the bridge to add your lock to the collection.

These little street fairs are everywhere in the city. It is possible to see locals shopping and eat local food, very well made! Price is fair for the amount of food.
