About Frankfurt

Discover Frankfurt

Why visit Frankfurt?
Frankfurt combines a dramatic skyline of glass towers with cosy historic streets, creating a compact city where modern business and everyday life sit side by side. You can explore museums, riverside promenades, and leafy neighbourhoods all within easy reach.

What to expect
The city centres on the Main river, with the financial district, the old town, and the Museumsufer lined up along its banks. Frankfurt feels efficient yet relaxed, with reliable public transport, well-planned pedestrian zones, and a strong café culture that invites you to linger between sights.

Plan your trip
Frankfurt Airport is one of Europe’s key gateways, making the city an ideal starting point for wider journeys across Germany and beyond. From here, high-speed trains and motorways quickly connect you to destinations such as Cologne, Heidelberg, and the Rhine Valley.

Experience Frankfurt’s everyday rhythm

Getting around
Frankfurt’s U-Bahn, S-Bahn, and trams form a compact network that makes it easy to cross the city quickly. For a different view, walk or cycle along the Main river paths between bridges. Taxis and short rideshare trips are useful for late evenings or luggage-heavy journeys.

Local life & culture
You will notice a mix of business travellers, students, and long-time residents sharing the same cafés and riverfront benches. Neighbourhoods such as Sachsenhausen, Nordend, and Bornheim offer a slower pace, with leafy streets and street-side terraces where people meet after work.

Where to unwind
The riverside lawns, known as Mainufer, are popular for a quiet stroll, a jog, or simply sitting by the water, especially around sunset. Parks like Grüneburgpark and the Palmengarten provide shaded paths and open lawns that feel far from the city’s tall towers.

A taste of Frankfurt

Street food & local specialties
You can sample local specialities in traditional taverns and casual eateries, particularly around the old town and Sachsenhausen. Simple menus, shared tables, and hearty portions create a relaxed atmosphere that suits both quick meals and unhurried evenings.

Casual & modern dining hubs
Around the Zeil, Hauptwache, and the Europaviertel, you will find food courts, cafés, and modern restaurants offering a broad mix of European and international flavours. Many menus feature smaller plates and set options, making it easy to try different dishes during your stay.

Signature & scenic dining
For a memorable meal, look for restaurants and bars with river views near Untermainkai or rooftop venues overlooking the skyline. These spots are ideal for a lingering dinner or a final drink while you watch the city lights reflect on the Main.

Retail therapy in Frankfurt

Malls & lifestyle hubs
The Zeil is Frankfurt’s main shopping artery, with large malls and department stores offering international brands, local labels, and entertainment under one roof. These centres double as social hubs, with cafés and food courts for a convenient break between shops.

Markets & local crafts
Away from the main boulevard, smaller streets such as Berger Strasse and parts of Sachsenhausen showcase independent boutiques and design shops. Weekly markets, especially around Konstablerwache and along the river, are good places to look for regional products and everyday local staples.

Evening retail scene
In the evening, central streets remain lively as locals combine shopping with dining or a walk along the river. Seasonal events, such as fairs and temporary stalls, add extra energy to key squares. Well-connected public transport makes it straightforward to reach these areas and return to your hotel after dark.

Best time to visit Frankfurt

Frühling (spring), March to May, brings mild days around 10–18°C (50–64°F) and blooming parks along the Main river. It is a shoulder season, so you can enjoy comfortable temperatures, outdoor cafés starting to reopen, and pleasant walking conditions in the old town.

Sommer (summer), June to August, usually ranges from 20–27°C (68–81°F), with warm days ideal for riverfront strolls and open-air events. As the peak season, the city feels lively, with longer daylight hours that give you more time to explore neighbourhoods and museums.

Herbst und Winter (autumn and winter), September to February, see temperatures from about 0–15°C (32–59°F), moving from crisp, colourful parks to cool, festive streets. This low season offers quieter museums, cosy cafés, and atmospheric evenings, especially when seasonal lights brighten the city centre.
