Things to do in Frankfurt

Jump on a coach to Frankfurt and experience a host of attractions. In the old town of Frankfurt there are many preserved buildings that are worth visiting, such as the St. Bartholomäus Cathedral. In front of the Cathedral you’ll find the archaeological gardens, with excavations on display from the Roman and Carolingian periods. One of the oldest and longest standing buildings in Frankfurt is the Römer - the picturesque building boasts a beautifully landscaped space between the main pedestrian zone of Frankfurt and the train station. This is one of the biggest contrasts between modern and old Frankfurt. Another attraction definitely worth a visit is the “Messeturm.” Many of our coach passengers liken it to gigantic pencil. Enjoy a breath-taking view of the city by taking a trip up to the top of the Eschenheim Tower. This tower was once a medieval city gate but is now considered to be one of Frankfurt’s most amazing landmarks.

Frankfurt: Culture & History

The Museum Embankment is a cluster of various museums, developed in 1973. You can actually visit all 34 museums with a single museum ticket – much cheaper than buying individual museum tickets. For families with children, a visit to the Senckenberg Museum of Natural History is definitely worth considering. An evening in Frankfurt offers a large choice of cultural possibilities; with extensive theatre programs, opera houses and concert halls. The operas in Frankfurt are known worldwide and many have received the title “opera of the year” several times. Those who prefer Boulevard Theatre would enjoy the Fritz Rémond Theater or an excursion down the “Neue Mainzer Straße”.
