Top 7 Historic Sites 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.

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.

well worth a visit, not your average German church at all. Its all set out in the circular shape - lot of information, history and art on the outside and inside the actual church part its very simple and modern. Almost feels like a lecture hall with lots of seating in rows with desks. Free entry too

The houses are actually rather newly built, yet they are made in a traditional style and the whole area looks like in a fairytale. Definitely worth a visit.

What a wonderful experience. This is the only building left standing in 1945 the didn’t get flattened by the bombing and the food is as authentic as it gets.
