Tour description

Welcome to downtown Frankfurt!

Frankfurt is a fascinating city. There are contrasts here that you can rarely experience in this compactness in other cities in such a small space. It is a varied, tolerant and cosmopolitan city with everything that goes with it.

Trade fair, banks, airport and business are one side, comfort, culture and tradition are the other. In addition to a wide range of cultural activities, the city also offers popular local recreation opportunities such as the Main or the nearby city forest and the many parks within the city.

On the tour, experience what makes the city so unique, why it's known as the heart of Europe and why I've loved living there for the past 12 years.

Below are some of the highlights we will visit on the tour:

Paul's Church
Kleinmarkthalle
Goethe house
Steigenberger Frankfurter Hof
Frankfurt Opera
Euro sculpture
station district
wall algae
Deutsche Bank skyscraper
Schiller memorial
Old opera
feeding gas
Goethestrasse
main guard
line
German Stock Exchange

I look forward to your coming and wish you a lot of fun on the tour.

Best regards
Holger

Outside visit

Alte Oper

As a cultural landmark of the economic metropolis of Frankfurt, the Alte Oper offers a state-of-the-art event house with two halls, four salons and five foyers behind a historical facade. Whether for gala dinners, press conferences or international congresses - a tailor-made event service creates a highly stylish event atmosphere from the planning to artist and guest support to exclusive catering by the Kuffler gourmet team of the Opéra restaurant.

Outside visit

Freßgass

The Große Bockenheimer Straße and the Kalbächer Gasse branching off from it, which connect the Opernplatz with the Rathenauplatz, are popularly known as Freßgass. After the First World War, a colorful variety of grocery stores and delicatessens lined up here - and that hasn't changed much to this day. Bars, cafés and restaurants entice you to relax and feast under plane trees with lunch and happy hours.

Outside visit

Goethestr

Exclusive boutiques west of the Zeil present the current collections from the international fashion world. Fashion labels such as Chanel, Gucci and Hermès can be found here, as can the iconic jewelry brands Tiffany & Co. or Cartier. Parallel to Goethestrasse are Neue Rothofstrasse and Freßgass'.
