Culture in Frankfurt
Frankfurt am Main weaves a rich cultural life across its neighbourhoods and institutions. The Goethe-Haus marks the birthplace of the city's most celebrated writer, while the Römer and the Imperial Cathedral reflect its medieval past as a free imperial city. The MMK Museum of Modern Art brings contemporary voices to the fore, and the Senckenberg Museum offers a sweeping look at natural history. Lively quarters such as Bornheim, Nordend, and Berger Strasse give culture an everyday texture, the Palmengarten provides a green retreat, and the Eiserner Steg footbridge connects both riverbanks. Höchst Old Town adds a further layer of history within the city's borders.
