What to do and see in Frankfurt, Hesse: The Best Sights & Landmarks

June 22, 2021 Moriah Teneyck

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.

Cathedral of St. Bartholomew (Dom St. Bartholomaus)

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

Reviewed By 612billyq - Dublin, Ireland

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.

Old Opera House (Alte Oper)

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.

Reviewed By bsandrs - Portsmouth, United Kingdom

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.

Main Tower

The Main Tower is one of the highest buildings in Frankfurt. Climb to the top of this 200-meter high building (take an elevator for the first 190 meters and walk the last 10) for incomparable views of the city.

Must see, i recommend you want through römerberg area and opera house on foot then go to main tower, you will definitely enjoy the view and the history of all the buildings you came across. I got 20% off with Frankfurt card that includes unlimited rides of public transit and trip to/from Airport.

Reviewed By 358GMan - Bossier City, United States

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.

Deutsche Bank Park

The Deutsche Bank Park stands on the site of its great predecessor – the legendary Frankfurt Waldstadion. It forms an integral part of German sporting history and has always been the focal point of life in the region. The Waldstadion has gone through many changes in the past and has now, at the start of the new millennium, been completely refurbished and given a new strategic concept. The fantastic sportsmen who have played here and the spectacular football matches that have taken place are never to be forgotten.The new arena was built for sports, concerts, business events and all kinds of large gatherings. Depending on the event, it can hold up to 55,000 spectators – multi-functionality is an important aspect. The exact circumference is 860 metres; the length is 210 metres and the width 190 metres. No pillars obstruct direct view onto the pitch and the front rows are only a few metres away from the edge of the field.
