Meeting points
MAIN ENTRANCE PAULSKIRCHE / SIGN “ERLEBNIS FRANKFURT”
The guide will be waiting at the meeting point: in front of the main entrance to St. Paul's Church and can be recognized by the “Erlebnis Frankfurt” sign and the guide's ID card.
St. Paul's Church is usually only visited from the outside. An independent tour of the interior is recommended after the guided tour.
St. Paul's Church in Frankfurt am Main is an important historical building that was built between 1789 and 1833. It served as the main church of the Evangelical Lutheran community and in 1848 became the meeting place of the Frankfurt National Assembly, the first freely elected parliament in Germany. Paulskirche was destroyed during the Second World War and rebuilt in 1948 as Frankfurt's first historic building1. Today it is used as an exhibition, memorial and meeting place and is a symbol of the German democracy movement. St. Paul's Church is particularly well known for the annual awarding of the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade.
10 minutes
Romer
Tour of the inner courtyard of the Römer between the Bürgersaal building and the south building. History of the cider.
The Römer is a historic town hall complex in the old town of Frankfurt am Main and one of the city's most famous landmarks. It has served as the town hall since 1405 and consists of several interconnected buildings that have been extended over the centuries. The characteristic stepped gable façade is particularly striking and characterizes the image of the Römerberg. The Kaisersaal inside the Römer was once the venue for the coronation ceremonies of the Roman-German emperors. Today, the Römer is used for official events and receptions and is a popular destination for tourists.
5 minutes
Roemer Kaisersaal
The Kaisersaal is the undisputed jewel of Frankfurt's Römer. It is the ceremonial hall for all important receptions, medal ceremonies and social events.
15 minutes
Mainkai
The Mainkai is a picturesque street on the right bank of the Main in Frankfurt's Old Town, stretching between the Old Bridge and the Untermainbrücke. Originally used as a mooring and landing place in the Middle Ages, the Mainkai was transformed into a modern street from 1826 by filling in and widening. Today it is a popular promenade that attracts both pedestrians and cyclists.
The Mainkai offers a variety of sights, including the historic Saalhof and the Rententurm. It is also a central mooring point for Frankfurt's passenger shipping industry and a starting point for river cruises. During the summer, the Mainkai is often used for cultural events and festivals, making it a lively meeting place in the city.
5 minutes
Iron Bridge
The Iron Footbridge is an iconic pedestrian bridge in Frankfurt am Main, which was opened in 1869. It was originally financed by a citizens' initiative as the Old Bridge could no longer cope with the increasing traffic. The bridge was destroyed during the Second World War, but was rebuilt in 1946. A renovation in 1993 raised the bridge slightly to meet modern requirements. Today, the Iron Footbridge is not only a practical crossing over the Main, but also a popular photo motif and a symbol of the energy of Frankfurt's citizens.
15 minutes
Haus Wertheym
Exterior tour of Haus Wertheym, overview of the typical sweet specialties with short stories about them (Frankfurter Kranz, Bethmännchen etc.).
Haus Wertheim is a remarkable half-timbered house in Frankfurt's Old Town, built around 1600. It is the only half-timbered house in the Old Town to have survived the air raids of the Second World War almost unscathed. It originally served as a customs house and accommodation for the city guard. After renovation in 1926, the first floor housed a café and a restaurant. Today, the house is a listed building and a popular destination for tourists who want to experience Frankfurt's historic architecture and rich history.
10 minutes
Historisches Museum Frankfurt
No interior tour of the Historical Museum, just a brief look at the Staufer wharf, the highlight of the “Stauferhafen” - a spectacular archaeological find on display in the museum foyer.
5 minutes
Roemerberg
The Römerberg is the historic heart of Frankfurt am Main and has a long and fascinating history. As early as the Middle Ages, it was a central market square and the scene of important events such as imperial coronations. In the 16th century, the Römerberg was considered one of the most beautiful squares in the Holy Roman Empire. During the Second World War, the old town, including the Römerberg, was badly damaged, but the square was rebuilt after the war. Today, the Römerberg is a popular place for tourists and locals alike, known for its historic buildings and the annual Frankfurt Christmas market.
10 minutes
Romer
Tour with exciting stories from the outside from Römerberg.
Frankfurt's Römer has been the city's town hall since 1405 and is one of its most famous landmarks. Originally, the Römer consisted of three patrician houses: the Römer, the Goldener Schwan and the Kleiner Römer. The characteristic stepped gable façade, which characterizes the image of the Römerberg today, was built in the 15th century and has been rebuilt several times over the centuries.
The Römerbalkon is famous for serving as a venue for public speeches and celebrations. Not only have emperors been crowned here, but successful soccer teams have also been welcomed. The Römer was badly damaged during the Second World War, but the façade and balcony were preserved and restored after the war.
3 minutes
Old Nicholas Church (Alte Nikolaikirche)
Viewing from the outside only.
The Alte Nikolaikirche in Frankfurt am Main is a late Gothic church that was originally built in the 12th century as a court chapel. It served as a place of worship for the Hohenstaufen emperors and became the city's council chapel in the 15th century. During the Second World War, the church remained largely undamaged, although the surrounding old town was badly destroyed. It was restored after the war and is now an important monument and a venue for church services and cultural events. The carillon with 51 bells, which can be heard regularly, is particularly impressive.

The Schirn Kunsthalle was opened in 1986 and has since established itself as one of the leading exhibition halls for contemporary art in Europe. The Kunsthalle is located in the historic center of the city, between the Römer and Frankfurt Cathedral. The Schirn organizes changing exhibitions presenting important artists.
Saalgasse is a historic street that runs parallel to the River Main. It was redesigned after the Second World War as part of the reconstruction of the old town.

The New Old Town in Frankfurt am Main, also known as the Dom-Römer-Quartier, is an impressive urban development project that was completed between 2012 and 2018.

Particularly noteworthy are the Haus zur Goldenen Waage, which is considered the showpiece of the project, the Rote Haus and the Goldene Lämmchen.
The New Old Town combines historical architecture with modern elements and offers a mixture of apartments, stores, cafés and museums. The Archaeological Garden, which features remains from Roman and Carolingian times, is also part of the quarter.
