PA L M G A R D E N SA vibrant, verdant oasis in the middle of Frankfurt, the spectacular Palmengarten

botanical gardens is a long-standing cultural, educational and community institution. Here, visitors can relax, regenerate and reconnect with nature, surrounded by exotic

plants from all over the world – and enjoy a lively calendar of regular music and social events.

T H E O L D O P E R A H O U S EOnce “Germany’s most beautiful ruin”, the spectacular façade of Frankfurt’s decayed Opera House has been lovingly restored and is now the front of one of the country’s

most prestigious concert halls: the Alte Oper. Come for its diverse program of top-quality productions, spanning classical, jazz, musical theatre and more.

M A I N T O W E RFrankfurt’s highest vantage point, the observation platform from the 200m-tall Main Tower offers unparalleled, panoramic views across the city – as well as a 53rd floor

restaurant and lounge, offering high-end, high-up dining and classic cocktails with a dash of vertigo.

R Ö M E R B E R GWith a noteworthy history that dates back to the 9th Century, Römerberg square

is quintessentially Frankfurt. An important Roman site, and home to the city’s government since the 15th century, Römerberg has long been a centre point for

markets and fairs, tournaments and festivals, executions and imperial elections and coronations – and remains an important gathering place and market square

to this day, especially at Christmas.

I M P E R I A L C AT H E D R A L Arguably the city’s most recognisable sight, the Gothic Imperial Cathedral of St Bartholomew is a must-see for any newcomer to Frankfurt. Sat in the city’s Medieval quarter, just behind Römerberg, Frankfurt’s largest religious building

has just as much history – serving as a key election and coronation site for the Holy Roman Empire.
