Activity itinerary

Romer

  • 15m
Begin your tour at the Römer, the historic heart of Frankfurt. This iconic ensemble of nine medieval houses has served as the city hall for over 600 years. Its picturesque façade and cobbled square host cultural events, markets, and weddings, offering a glimpse into Frankfurt’s medieval past.

Frankfurt Cathedral

  • 15m
A short walk from Römer brings you to Frankfurt Cathedral, formally the Imperial Cathedral of Saint Bartholomew. This Roman Gothic masterpiece, with its soaring tower and vaulted ceilings, was once a symbol of unity during the Holy Roman Empire. It remains one of the city’s most impressive historic landmarks.

St. Paul's Church (Paulskirche)

  • 15m
Next, visit St. Paul’s Church, a key site in German political history. Originally a Lutheran church, it became the seat of the first democratically elected German parliament in 1848. Its striking neoclassical architecture and historical significance make it a highlight of the Old Town.

Goethe House

  • 15m
Walk to the Goethe House, the birthplace of Germany’s literary genius Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The house, now a museum, offers insight into his early life and works, including original manuscripts and period furnishings, making it a must-see for literature enthusiasts.

Kleinmarkthalle

  • 15m
For a taste of local culture, step into Kleinmarkthalle, a bustling market featuring over 150 stalls. Sample traditional Frankfurt specialities like green sauce or explore international foods. A brief stop here gives a sensory experience of the city’s culinary life.

Eiserner Steg

  • 15m
If time permits, cross the Eiserner Steg, an iconic iron footbridge over the Main River. Originally built in 1868 and rebuilt after wartime destruction, it offers panoramic views of Frankfurt’s skyline and the riverfront.
