    Wow, 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.

    Nice viewpoint, but the old town is obscured by a new skyscraper. You can see it on a picture. Nevertheless it's worth a visit

    This Roman Catholic Gothic church was built in the heart of the old city. The cathedral is very well-conserved and shows many ancient masterpieces. His location is fairly easy to find because its impressive 95-meter tower and spire dominate the city skyline. In its internal, there is a magnificent pipe organ and a composition of the Jesus Christ crucifixion. It surely deserves a visit, especially during the summer, its freshness will surprise you.

    This is a large museum of natural history. Very similar to natural history museums in other major cities. Several dinosaurs, some of which are original and some are casts. If you can get on a tour, it is definitely worth it.

    They 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. It also connects to the old with the new part of the city. Must do!

    This is a pleasant riverwalk lined with stately museums. You could easily spend a day visiting them all.

    I 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.

    I was on a roll and had the museum two-day pass in Frankfurt. I decided to give this museum a try, although I am not very educated about films and how they are made. Just by chance, the museum had an exhibit on Weimar films and changing views of gender in that period. This was a great exhibit!
    The Weimar period (1918-1933) was a period of experimentation and trying new things in Germany. This era really deserves more study, but unfortunately it is frequently overlooked, because everyone focuses on the Nazi era. (See also the Babylon Berlin series on Netflix.)
    The exhibit had wonderful explanations (in Egl too) on such films as "Girls in Uniform," "Different from the others," "I don't want to be a man" and other titles. The original "Viktor Viktoria"--later re-made with Julie Andrews and made into a Broadway show too, was also from this period (1933). In fact, from the clips, the 1933 version looks like it was so much better.
    One of the major German actors of this period, Conrad Veidt (1893-1943) is known to North Americans as Major Strasser in Casablanca (1942), but he made many famous films in the Weimar era, before leaving Germany in 1933.
    Marlene Dietrich's dressing up in the tails and top hat in "the Blue Angel" (1933), was actually pioneered in several other pictures in shows, another gender-bending exercise. By the time MD did it, it was merely naughty/cute.
    Thanks for the fine exhibit.

    Construction in and around the station makes it a bit more difficult to use than is normally the case, but the directions within the station are clear and the platforms readily accessible. There are lots of cafes, restaurants and other amenities.

    The old town area of Frankfurt was more interesting part of the city although the 17th century half wooden houses were built to the original design in 1988. Still an interesting place for tourists and better than the more modern areas.

    Granted, it was cold, but the animals were a delight to see. The zoo is absolutely massive and less than a block from our hotel, which was very convenient.
