Attraction
Römerberg
Römerberg is the historic heart of Frankfurt, a charming square lined with traditional half-timbered houses and medieval-style buildings. Although much of it was reconstructed after World War II, it beautifully reflects the city’s old-town character. The Römer (City Hall) has served as Frankfurt’s administrative center for over 600 years.
Walk along the River Main and enjoy views of Frankfurt’s skyline from the waterfront. Cross the pedestrian bridge toward Sachsenhausen for panoramic city photographs.
Enjoy a relaxed dinner in Sachsenhausen or the Old Town. Overnight stay: Frankfurt
