- Frankfurt am Main Hauptbahnhof - Delve into the city’s notable landmarks: the historic Römerberg-Square, once the site of ancient markets and royal ceremonies. Behold the Town Hall, the Fountain of Justice, and the venerable Old St. Nicholas Church, dating back to the 13th century. Ascend the Eiserner Steg, an iron pedestrian bridge from the 19th century, for panoramic views of Frankfurt’s towering skyline and its museum quarter. Stroll to the Kaiserdom (Imperial Cathedral), notable for its Gothic spire, and explore the interior where German monarchs and emperors were once crowned. At Paulsplatz, discover the significance of Paulskirche (St. Paul’s Church), the cradle of Germany’s inaugural democratic parliament in 1848. Traverse beneath the imposing edifices of international financial institutions in the banking district, including the Commerzbank Tower, designed by the renowned British architect Sir Norman Foster. Conclude at Goethehaus, the birthplace of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the luminary of German classical literature, and gain insights (from the exterior) into his formative years and the cultural milieu of 18th-century Frankfurt.
