New Old Town
In the heart of the Main metropolis, 35 houses, 15 of them original reconstructions and 20 new buildings, form the new district between the cathedral and the Römer. Like kings and emperors of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, the "Coronation Path" leads you through the "New Old Town".

Römer (Town Hall)
Since 1405 the Frankfurt Town Hall in the centre of the old town. At the end of the 19th century, the merger of medieval houses was fitted with a neo-Gothic façade. The most important room is the Kaisersaal with oil portraits of all 52 German emperors since Charlemagne where the feast took place after the emperor's coronation.

Paul's church
The cradle of democracy in Germany - the first freely elected German parliament met here in 1848. Today, the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade is awarded here. Also worth seeing is the 32-metre-long circular painting by Johannes Grützke inside.

Cathedral
Kings were elected in St. Bartholomew's Cathedral in 1356. From 1562 to 1792 even emperors were crowned here. After the cathedral burned down in 1868 it received its late gothic, 95m high tower. Tower ascent for 1,50€ (pupil) 10-18 o'clock. Through a narrow staircase about 300 steps have to be climbed.

Goethe House and Goethe Museum
The parental home of the great poet shows the original living culture and art collections of his time.

MAIN TOWER
The first and only high-rise building in Frankfurt with a viewing platform at a height of 205 metres and a high-rise restaurant with a fantastic panoramic view of the city and its surroundings.

Old Opera
In 1981 the Old Opera was rebuilt true to the original from the founder time (1880) and is today one of the most renowned concert halls in Germany.

Old Stock Exchange
The building with a Renaissance dome still houses a small part of the stock trading. A visit to the gallery is possible by appointment.

Palmengarten
Botanical garden with plants from all over the world. In summer the lake invites you to row.

Zoological Garden
In the middle of the city you can experience exotic animal species up close. One of its many attractions is still Professor Bernhard Grzimek's nocturnal animal house, the new seal pool, a new monkey house and the new predator enclosure.

Apple-Wine-Express
On weekends you can drive through the city in historic tram cars and test the Frankfurt national drink, the Ebbelwoi (apple juice is also available).
