Top Trending Tours in gay FRANKFURT 2020

Frankfurt’s Römer town hall is one of the most beautiful historical town halls in Germany and has been the seat of local government for more than 600 years. Both its exterior, a reconstructed triple-gabled facade in the neo-Gothic style with many decorative elements, and the imperial hall inside are well worth seeing. Römerberg square in the heart of Frankfurt’s old quarter dates back to the Hohenstaufen period. It enjoyed its heyday in the late Middle Ages when it was the scene of Frankfurt’s trade fairs and great ceremonies such as the coronations of German emperors.

The Main Tower is one of the highest buildings in Frankfurt, the only possible to climb. On top of its 200 meters, a 360º view of the city, opens to your eyes. Don’t worry, you don’t have to climb it on foot, the elevator leaves you at 190 meters and you only have to climb 1 floor of stairs to the top. The entrance costs 4,60€ and till 22:00 is opened to visitors. During the day or night, a non-cloudy weather is recommended, specially at night, with the lights of the city shining with glamour.

The spectacular MyZeil shopping centre designed by Italian star architect Massimiliano Fuksas and opened in 2009 is a special attraction, and not just for shoppers. The building’s funnel-shaped glass facade with its spiralling contours captures the eye and the imagination of shoppers and passers-by. Covering eight floors, it has stores selling leading international brands, a delicatessen, a wide choice of restaurants, a major electronics retailer – and Europe’s longest free-standing escalator, at 48 metres in length.

The museum embankment is located on the southern bank of the river Main in Sachsenhausen, between the Eiserner Steg footbridge and the Peace Bridge. One of Frankfurt’s main cultural attractions, it has 13 leading museums and is a popular destination for museum-goers from Germany and across Europe.

Unmissable highlights include the Museum of Arts and Crafts, whose building alone is worth a visit, the Film Museum and the Museum of Ethnology. This is also the setting for the Museum Embankment Festival held here on the last weekend in August and the Museums Night held every year in spring.

On around 22 hectares of land, the Palmengarten botanical gardens display a range of interesting and beautiful plants. Almost every kind of exotic flora growing around the world can be found here, right in the middle of Frankfurt.

The pièce de résistance is the 18-metre-high palm house, the oldest and most famous building in the gardens. This iron structure was designed by architect Friedrich Kaysser and built between 1868 and 1869. It was modelled on the enormous glass palaces built in London in 1846 and in Paris in 1867 for the World’s Fair.

Frankfurt’s beloved botanical gardens are home to 50 acres of tropical trees, orchids and ferns.

Remember, one of the best ways to see the city is to take one of the hop-on, hop-off bus tours departing every 30 minutes and tickets valid for the whole day.
