City Description

Frankfurt, the birthplace of Goethe and the gateway to Germany

Located on the Main River, the tributary of the Rhine, Frankfurt is also known by the name Frankfurt am Main. It was the site of the Holy Roman emperor election and the home of the great writer Goethe. Today, Frankfurt is the center of international finance and commerce, including the European Central Bank (ECB), but there are signs of historical traditions all over the city.

The main attractions are located north of the Main River, most notably Römer, the old city hall. Surrounded by historic buildings like the old town city hall built in 1405, Bremen Chamber of Commerce, traditional German architecture, built in 1537, and the Cathedral. The Romer Square is known as one of the most beautiful square in Germany. Inside the square are various attractions including the famous Roland statue and the Bremen Town Musicians statue.It is home to the birthplace of the great novelist Goethe, who left behind works such as “The Sorrows of Young Werther” and “Faust,” and was destroyed during World War II and later restored as a memorial hall. Today, the hall exhibits handwritten manuscripts, portraits, and keepsakes. It is no question that this is a must-go spot when traveling to Germany to feel the breath of a genius that profoundly influenced not only German but also world literature and the arts.

Travel Tip

1. Climate
The weather in Germany is so volatile that it may be sunny one minute and rainy and cold the other. We advise that you bring a long sleeve outer wear and an umbrella even for the summer.
2. Potable Water
Bottled water is recommend as local tap water contains a lot of lime.
3. Public Facility
Most restrooms charge for use, so you should have some change handy. Restrooms are marked “Herren” (men) and “Damne” (women), or simply “H” and “D”.
4. Others
In big cities, all shops are closed on Sundays and public holidays except for tourist information centers and train stations.
5. Payment Method
There are still places in Germany that do not accept credit cards, so be sure to have cash on hand just in case.
