 See the city lights on a Riverboat Dinner Cruise by Weissdorn If you really want to do something in Frankfurt that would be a lifelong pleasant memory, then I would recommend a Riverboat dinner on one of the Primus Line cruise ships on the Main. It's not the usual 2-bit tourist trip. Promptly at 7:30 p.m. at the old iron bridge (Eisener Steg), you board the ship, which wisks you away on the dark Main river to see the glittering lights of the Mainhatten skyline. A delicious four course dinner, including German champagne is served on board by schooled personnel, while a pleasant relaxed live orchestra plays while you dine. The trip will take you up and down the Main river for a three hour trip, which includes the city lights from Offenbach and Hanau as well, where you can see old castles and towers. Certainly there are more expensive restaurants in Frankfurt, but nothing can really top this, and it's affordable for everyone. It only costs 52 Euro per person (incl. dinner and champagne). This is guaranteed to be a romantic experience you won't forget! Check the link below for the dates.

 Day Cruise to Aschaffenburg is fantastic by Weissdorn The 1 hour Main cruise is a tourist trap. But the day cruise from Frankfurt to Aschaffenburg is an adventure! Unfortunately they only do this cruise once a week on Saturday, and you will have to get up early to get on the boat on time. You will also have to plan the whole day for this trip, but the cruise is unforgetable! The boat whisks you along the scenic Mainhatten skyline, past the smelly scrap yards, and out into the quiets of the slow Main river. There are wonderful things to see on the Main, including some castles, church steeples, palaces and wildlife, including swans, otters and beavers. The Main river is lush and overgrown, and reminds you of a Monet painting. The trip departs at 8:30 a.m. from the Eisener Steg (Old Iron Bridge - Frankfurt Side) and goes all the way to the Bishop's city Aschaffenburg in Bavaria. The boat will stay in Aschaffenburg for a few hours so that you can go shopping and sight-seeing. The trip costs 22 Euro, and food and beverages can be purchased on board. The boat will return to the Old Iron Bridge on the same evening at 8:30 p.m. Departure is on most Sunday, but the schedule varies. Please see link below. Leave a Comment

by Bernd_L A nice and relaxing way to get a first overview of the many tall buildings of Frankfurt is to do a boat trip on the Main-River. There are 'short cruises' that don't cost an arm and a leg driving only along the river within city borders and daytrips to neighbouring cities like Aschaffenburg, Seligenstadt, Mainz or Rüdesheim. But not all boats are as funny as the one in my picture. This one belongs to an association that runs several adventure-playgrounds in Frankfurt. Leave a Comment

 Main River by codrutz Frankfurt is situated on both banks of the Main River. This river, with it's nice bridges brings more glamour to the city. You have two chioces, stay on the bank with highrise buildings or go to the other bank is Sachsenhause to party during the night. Leave a Comment

 evening skyline view near Brazil bar fr. southeast by dircelo, 1 more photos Since my presence in Frankfurt the city council has more and more integrated the "Main" (say Mine) river into the life of the city. The banks have been refurbished, coffeeshops, bars and restaurants have popped up. I will add a couple of examples of great things to do along the river. You can not only walk along both sides but also ride your bike or skate along it. Many bars remain open in the evening and every sunspell will be used for people to relax Leave a Comment Address: south side of the river

This is the most popular meeting point at the river with the skyline right in front of you. The bar serves apple wine, coffee, soft drinks, cake and snacks. (selfservice) People order the apple wine and sit everywhere, even on the edge of the river... Remember plenty of museums around and urbanity pure around you, but open air!

 Meral's Imbiss by dircelo A Döner Kebap store "Meral's Imbiss" has been coming and sells food from the boat. It contributes to an open atmosphere along the river. Good idea, since not many snack opportunities are available along the river. Leave a Comment Address: near "Untermainbrücke".

 river cruise by doug48 there are a number of cruise operators that offer main river cruises. the primus line can be boarded on the river near the romer. they offer a one hour frankfurt city cruise which runs frequently every day. on weekends you can take day cruises to aschaffenburg, mainz, rudeshein and other locations along the river main. even though i did not have time to take it i have been told that the aschaffenburg cruise is a very nice trip.

We spent only a day in Frankfurt. I was glad that we went for a nice walk along the river. Walking along the river was wonderful; all the activity of the boats, bikes and people. We crossed the bridges several times and explored each side of the bank. There were some incredible trees in the park that we photographed which looked like large candlabras. We were on the bridge as the sun began to set. It was very beautiful watching the sky turn such beautiful colors and the reflections on the water. Leave a Comment

 Bootshaus Dreyer - Rent a Paddle Boat! by Weissdorn A nice afternoon activity for the whole family is to rent a paddle boat on the Main. You can rent one from Dreyer or from Klaus for 7 Euro for ½ an hour or 12 Euro for 1 hour. It should be noted that it is restricted where you paddle your boat - namely between the small Main island and the left bank (Sachsenhausen) You cannot take the boat to the other side (Frankfurt) of the River. The reason for this is because the river is a commercial waterway and you might get run over by a passenger ship or a barge. The barges can't even see you, let alone go around you. The current is hardly noticeable in the summer, so you won't have to worry about being swept downstream. If you like, you can eat lunch here, too. They are closed from November to May, an hour before sundown and during flooding.
