Highlights
  • Old Opera House (Alte Oper) - The “Alte Oper” was constructed between 1872 and 1880 in the High Renaissance style. It was destroyed on March 23, 1944, and reopened on August 28, 1981, after nearly five years of restoration. Today, the Alte Oper stands as one of Frankfurt’s most stunning buildings, serving as a concert and congress center. The L’Opéra restaurant offers first-class dining with a fantastic view of the opera’s forecourt from its balcony, and the ground floor café is a delightful spot in good weather. Despite significant budget cuts, the management continues to deliver an award-winning, diverse program.
  • Iron Bridge - This steel and concrete pedestrian bridge, traversed by around 10,000 people daily, links the city center around the Römerberg with Sachsenhausen across the Main. Originally built in 1869 as a neo-Gothic half-timbered structure by Peter Schmick, it has undergone several modifications, the latest in 1993. It lost its twin branches over the river piers in 1911. Alongside the modern Holbeinsteg, it offers a more romantic way to cross the Main on foot.
  • Romer - The Römer is one of Frankfurt’s most iconic landmarks and a popular postcard image. Acquired by the city on March 11, 1405, the building complex includes the town hall and was expanded over time. Visitors can explore the Kaisersaal, built after 1612, where German emperors were crowned, and see portraits of all Holy Roman Empire emperors. The Schwanenhalle and Römerhalle have remained nearly unchanged for 600 years. Although the facades were redesigned in historicizing styles in the early 20th century and post-World War II, the Römerberg with the Römer and the surrounding old town is a must-see Frankfurt landmark.
  • Stadel Museum - The Städel Museum showcases masterpieces of European art from the early 14th century to the present. Its Graphic Collection, with 100,000 drawings and prints from the late Middle Ages to today, is one of Germany’s most significant. The museum’s collection spans seven centuries, featuring 2,700 paintings, 600 sculptures, and 100,000 drawings and prints from artists like Dürer, Holbein, Cranach, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Monet, Van Gogh, Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, Bacon, Baselitz, Serra, and Palermo. This museum is a highlight not to be missed.
  • St. Paul’s Church (Paulskirche) - Consecrated in 1833, St. Paul’s Church is renowned not for its religious use but as the “cradle of German democracy.” On May 18, 1848, German representatives convened here to draft a liberal constitution. Nearly 800 parliamentarians, including notable figures like Heinrich von Gagern, formulated a basic law that influenced today’s constitution. After the parliament’s failure and the reactionary victory, the church was returned to the community in 1852. Destroyed in March 1944, the foundation stone for its reconstruction was laid on March 17, 1947. St. Paul’s Church now symbolizes the city’s reconstruction and democratic history.
