100 km/h or 62 mphThere’s no escaping the fact that Frankfurt is characterized by the finance industry — its glass towers quite literally dominate the city’s skyline (which, according to many, is the most impressive in Germany). But the largest city in Hesse is also a historic place with plenty to offer in terms of history, architecture, and culture, as well as nearby places to visit. With that in mind, these are three of the most interesting attractions in and around Frankfurt: Altstadt. Sitting on the northern bank of the Main River, Frankfurt’s old town is one of the most interesting (and most photographed) areas of the city. Many of the city’s most important landmarks are located in it, including the picturesque Römerberg area with the Town Hall and half-timbered houses on Samstagsberg, as well as Frankfurt Cathedral. Much of the Altstadt was destroyed in the bombing of the Second World War, but restoration efforts have ensured that much of its former glory has been recovered.
