Römerberg · Altstadt
Frankfurt's postcard square: half-timbered houses, the Römer across the way and the Gerechtigkeitsbrunnen in the middle.
Tip: What you see is a reconstruction: the six houses of the Ostzeile were rebuilt in 1983. Come early — by 11 it's packed.

Show on mapRömer · Altstadt
Frankfurt's city hall since 1405, with the most photographed three-gabled stepped façade in Germany.
Tip: The Kaisersaal and its 52 emperor portraits can only be visited when there's no official event on: ask at the courtyard door.
🚇 Tram 11, 12 or 14 to Römer/Paulskirche
Featured in: frankfurt.de
Show on mapKaiserdom · Altstadt
The cathedral where the Holy Roman emperors were crowned, with its Gothic tower in red sandstone.

Featured in: Dompfarrei St. Bartholomäus
Show on mapDomturm · Altstadt
66 m up a spiral staircase to look out over the Römerberg and the skyline from the heart of the old town.
Tip: It opens depending on the weather and closes in heavy rain or wind. Travel light: the staircase really is narrow.
🚇 U4 or U5 to Dom/Römer
Featured in: domturm-frankfurt.de
Show on mapPaulskirche · Altstadt
The church where Germany's first freely elected parliament sat in 1848: the cradle of German democracy.

Featured in: frankfurt.de · Wikipedia
Show on mapSteinernes Haus · Altstadt
A patrician stone house from 1464 facing the Römerberg, one of the very few that wasn't rebuilt from scratch.
Tip: Today it's the Kunstverein: step into the courtyard even if you skip the show, the Gothic light well is worth the detour.
🚇 U4 or U5 to Dom/Römer
Featured in: frankfurt.de
Show on mapHaus Wertheym · Altstadt
The only half-timbered house in the old town that survived the 1944 bombing intact: original, not rebuilt.
Tip: It's the honest counterpoint to the whole Altstadt: look at how the timber is genuinely warped, not replicated.
🚇 Tram 11, 12 or 14 to Römer/Paulskirche
Featured in: frankfurt.de
Show on mapHühnermarkt · Neue Altstadt
The central square of the DomRömer quarter, reopened in 2018 with 15 faithful reconstructions and 20 new houses.
Tip: It isn't medieval: the old town was destroyed on 22 March 1944 and this was finished in 2018. Read it for what it is and it's fascinating anyway.
🚇 U4 or U5 to Dom/Römer
Featured in: frankfurt.de · DomRömer
Show on mapAlte Nikolaikirche · Römerberg
The red imperial court chapel on the Römerberg, with a carillon that rings three times a day.

Show on mapJustitiabrunnen · Römerberg
The Fountain of Justice at the centre of the Römerberg: at coronations it ran with wine instead of water.

Featured in: frankfurt.de
Show on mapSaalhof · Altstadt
The oldest standing building in Frankfurt: a 12th-century palace chapel, today part of the Historisches Museum.

🚇 U4 or U5 to Dom/Römer
Featured in: Historisches Museum Frankfurt
Show on mapGoethe-Haus · Altstadt
Goethe's birthplace, rebuilt stone by stone in 1951 with the original furniture that had been put into storage.

Featured in: Freies Deutsches Hochstift
Show on mapEschenheimer Turm · Innenstadt
A medieval wall tower from 1428 standing in the middle of the traffic, its five turrets intact.

Featured in: frankfurt.de
Show on mapHauptwache · Innenstadt
The 1730 baroque pavilion that was a guardhouse and a jail, today a café, on the busiest square downtown.

Featured in: frankfurt.de
Show on mapAlte Oper · Innenstadt
A neo-Renaissance concert hall from 1880, burned out in 1944 and only reopened in 1981 after a referendum.

Featured in: staedelmuseum.de
Show on mapLiebieghaus · Sachsenhausen
A 5,000-year sweep of sculpture inside a historicist villa with a garden on the Main.

🚇 U1, U2 or U3 to Schweizer Platz
Featured in: Museum Angewandte Kunst
Show on mapWeltkulturen Museum · Sachsenhausen
An ethnological museum in three 19th-century villas that takes on the problem of its own collections head-on.

🚇 U1, U2 or U3 to Schweizer Platz
Featured in: Weltkulturen Museum

🚇 U1, U2 or U3 to Schweizer Platz
Featured in: Bibelhaus Erlebnismuseum
Show on mapCaricatura · Altstadt

Featured in: Caricatura Museum Frankfurt
Show on mapGeldmuseum · Dornbusch/Ginnheim
The German central bank's money museum: a gold bar you can try to lift and the whole history of inflation.

The tower that 'dances': 190 m with a band of shifted floors in the middle, by BIG, finished in 2019.

A 43 m wooden tower in the city forest, burned down in 2017 and rebuilt almost identically in 2020.

Featured in: frankfurt.de · Wikipedia
Show on mapLohrberg · Seckbach
Frankfurt's only vineyard, 185 m above sea level, with the widest skyline view from the green side of town.

A 1990 suspension footbridge opposite the Städel: the Bankenviertel view almost no tourist uses.
