Skyline, Shopping & History: The Best of Frankfurt (Insider Tour)

The tour lasts 2 hours
Available in English

Description

Frankfurt is love at second sight – and I'll show you why!


Welcome to the city of contrasts. Frankfurt is compact, cosmopolitan, and offers a density of experiences rarely found in Europe. I'm Holger, I've been living here for 13 years and I know the many faces of this metropolis: from the glass palaces of the banking world to the cozy corners where time seems to have stood still.


What can you expect on this tour?

We will discover together why Frankfurt is considered the heart of Europe. We will stroll through the luxurious banking district, feel the pulse of the shopping streets, and finally dive into the reconstructed history of the old town. It's the perfect mix of business, culture, and genuine Frankfurt lifestyle.


Our highlights on this discovery tour:

  • Alte Oper: One of the most magnificent concert halls in Germany.
  • Wallanlagen: The green lung on the former fortifications.
  • Fressgass & Goethestraße: Where Frankfurt enjoys culinary delights and exclusive shopping.
  • Hauptwache & Deutsche Börse: The bustling center and the place where the markets are made.
  • Zeil: Germany's highest-grossing shopping street.
  • Goethe-Haus: The birthplace of the city's most famous son.
  • Paulskirche: The symbol of German democracy.
  • Neue Altstadt & Hühnermarkt: The fascinating "new old" heart of Frankfurt.
  • Kaiserdom & Haus zur Goldenen Waage: The splendor and glory of the coronation city.
  • Eiserner Steg: The crowning conclusion with the best view of the skyline.


Key facts & notes:

  • Duration: Approximately 2 hours.
  • Meeting point: We start at the Alte Oper (Opernplatz). You'll recognize me by my [insert color here] umbrella.
  • Concept: This tour is based on the pay-what-you-want principle. You decide at the end of the tour what the experience was worth to you.
  • Local knowledge: Since I've been living here for over a decade, I'll share my personal tips for parks, museums, and the best spots on the Main with you!


I'm looking forward to showing you the uniqueness of my city!

See you soon at the opera,
Holger

Outside visit
FreßgassThe 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.
