Local gems in Frankfurt
Frankfurt am Main pairs its well-known skyline with a rich neighbourhood life that rewards slower exploration. Berger Strasse and the districts of Bornheim and Nordend offer independent shops, cafés and a laid-back local atmosphere far from the financial district. The Eiserner Steg footbridge provides a quiet vantage point over the Main, while the Palmengarten is a green retreat in the heart of the city. The Goethe-Haus, the MMK Museum of Modern Art, the Imperial Cathedral and the historic Höchst Old Town show the cultural range on offer. The Main Tower, Frankfurt Central Station and Deutsche Bank Park round out the city's lesser-celebrated but genuine highlights.
