 58 Reviews  Built initially as a gothic cathedral between XIV and XV centuries, it was rebuilt few times after that and this is why the look is now a neo-gothic one. It is anyway impressive and probably the 95 m tower is giving most of its greatness. 

 43 Reviews  Frankfurt's skyscraper scene is very impressive, and Frankfurt is the only city in Europe that allows the construction of such monsters directly in the city center. This gives Frankfurt a uniquely foreign feeling, and it often looks more like it should be a city in Australia, America or the Far...

 25 Reviews  If you can afford it, by all means go to a concert at the "Old Opera" concert hall. Some of the best orchestras in the world give concerts there, and they also have a full program of recitals, pop concerts and musicals. Going to a concert is also the only way you can get to see the inside of the Old... 

 4 Reviews  I thought the Apfelwein tour was the biggest waste of money!!! I have lived in Frankfurt for three weeks, and this past weekend, my friend came and visited. I decided to take her on the Apfelwein and we were really disappointed. First of all, the station is impossible to find, because it is just a...

 3 Reviews  This place is in the center of tourist Frankfurt at the Römerberg with a fantastic view of the whole square and the lovely facades of the houses and the townhall. I had expected it to be very touristy, unfriendly, expensive and with mediocre quality, but no, I was very pleasantly surprised! When we...

 5 Reviews  We this was an interesting loud place. We dined with my boyfriend's friends. The food was pretty good but not the applewine which is commonly served in this region.

 5 Reviews  I have been here for almost a month now and have managed to explore the centre of town and some of the outer suburbs. So far, I have noted that prices are very high for just about everything (compared to London) and that if you want to buy something really special then go to Berger Strasse or the...
