Welcome to our walking tour of Frankfurt, a city whose modern and snazzy skyline almost casts a shadow upon all the other heritage beneath it.
We will begin our tour in the green belt opposite the Alte Oper, and head towards the Innenstadt leaving behind the modern banking district
As we walk into Hauptwache, I will share more about Frankfurt’s history of being targeted across time. We next take a peek into the Zeil, Frankfurt's main shopping street, and one of the busiest shopping streets in Europe, observe a mix of historic and modern buildings and then continue walking towards the Römerplatz. Stick around and listen carefully as I share how Frankfurt's medieval and political history as a german city is somewhat unique when compared to the others that you may have visited.
Finally, we'll make our last stop on our way to the Eiserner Steg Bridge, a popular Frankfurt landmark that offers panoramic views of the Main River and the city skyline where we will end our tour with suggestions for a frankfurter favourite and special - Apfelwein.
Join us on this walking tour of Frankfurt to discover the city's rich heritage and modernity, and experience the perfect blend of old and new.
Please remember to wear comfortable shoes for the tour.
