Top 10 Things to do in Altstadt, Hesse
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.

This is a real institution in Frankfurt! The Kleinmarkthalle is a covered market with products from all over the world open from Monday to Saturday. On sunny days (actually even on not sunny days), everyone gathers there to have a glass of wine from the Hollander Hof. All Frankfurt meets there, Students, families, old, young... A place to go if you want a glimpse of real Frankfurt.

6. Frankfurt Christmas Market
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 380 reviews
Frankfurt has one of the oldest and largest Christmas Markets in Germany that has been running since 1393. It is a traditional winter market full of festivities, with Christmas carols and church bells ringing, and of course the giant Christmas tree, located in the scenic old town centre, decorated with thousands of lights, ribbons and bells. The market attracts more than 3 million visitors per year with more than 200 stalls to keep them busy. Many of the stalls sell classic wooden toys, rocking horses, dolls and decorations; others focus on delicious Christmas specialities like mulled wine, roast chestnuts, grilled sausages and gingerbread, filling the air with wonderful yuletide aromas. Don't miss out on the historical merry-go-round, lit up and decorated with wooden carved horses. It starts at the end of November and carries on through December.

We love the market because they offer a variety of food vendors who also have a good variety of options. Plus they offer many different craft stalls. It's downtown at the Romer and in a beautiful location, especially at night. The last nights are a mad-house so avoid those if you can. It is also open during the day and less crowded than at night, but also not quite as charming.

The train stops directly at Roemerberg. It is such a lovely square with all of the old style buildings. The Christmas market was on when we visited so it was very special.

Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 332 reviews
The SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT is one of most important exhibition venues in Europe. Since opening in 1986, it has presented more than 240 exhibitions on around 2,000 m² of floor space and can boast a total of more than 8.8 million visitors. The SCHIRN focuses on art-historical and historico-cultural themes, discourses, and trends from a contemporary perspective. Its range of offers is multifaceted, international, and progressive; it attempts to open up new points of view and to break open traditional patterns of reception. The exhibitions are devoted in equal measure to contemporary stances in art and art of the modern era.

Magnetic North and Gilbert & George are the current exhibitions at Schirn...while the first was nice and and very aesthetically “correct” (a little too much for my taste), the second was *SO* incorrect (politically, aesthetically, etc.)...it was just f-awesome. And the “dot on the i” was the floor walls in the inner building “cilinder” displaying the best collection of phrases using the f-word I have ever seen. Made my day...
