What travelers are saying
- True W69 contributionsWow, lovely spot full of cheap eats and bars whilst socking up the atmosphere. Have a wander, take photos, visit the cathedral and enjoy the ambience. You don’t need to join a tour as they are all wandering around and you can listen in. After a bite take a quick walk to river and feed the geese with the left over bread not more than 100m across the road. Great activity for families with kids. A short walk along the river find a wonderful playground.Written April 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marina CMainz, Germany43 contributionsMagical day ended with rude customer service at the souvenir shop:
After a private group tour, lunch at the museum restaurant, and solo wandering, I was so excited about some of the art that I decided to buy some souvenirs at the museum shop. I was buying 9 paper items (not postcards) on a very rainy day. I inquired if the shop has plastic bags and, when I saw the bags had the museum name, I briefly considered giving my friends the items in these bags as well.
One of the shop clerks was suspicious and unfriendly from the start, questioning me rather unpleasantly and, in the end, pushing/throwing 3 bags, that I paid a euro per bag for, toward me, displeased and annoyed, ignoring my warm „Danke“.
Germany is doing an amazing job of valuing art, yet it cannot stop its rude customer service problem. I am writing in hope that the museum administration might read and care to provide a more pleasant customer experience.Written April 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It got its name from the river Majna, so it is called Main Tower. 240 m high with antenna. You can take the elevator to the 54th floor (196m), but you can climb the stairs to a height of 200m from where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the city and the surrounding area. Everything is very well insured so there is really no room for fear.Written May 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- md1mmSheffield, UK1,615 contributionsThis is a large museum of natural history. Very similar to natural history museums in other major cities.

- Onni L33 contributionsThey call Frankfurt the German Manhatten and I do understand it. It has a similar feel to it. The bridge is a great spot to have a nice skyline view.

- Christina SNewport News, VA113 contributionsI was only in Frankfurt to catch a plane, but looked for something to do the day before. This turned out to be an interesting visit. Admittedly, I am not well-versed about Goethe, but know the basics. Honestly, if this had been Hans the baker's preserved house it would have been just as cool to visit. The architecture was comely, the furnishings were alternately elegant and over the top. There is a lovely garden with an immense fig tree. The still-green figs were as big as my fist! I'd have loved to have gotten a ripe one.
Upstairs is a whole art museum. I didn't even see the entire thing. The staircase to access it reminded me of a Fritz Lang movie. If you go, you'll see what I mean.
It was certainly worth the visit.Written August 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
