Tour description
Frankfurt is Germany's most surprising city, where a skyline of gleaming banking towers rises directly behind a lovingly reconstructed medieval old town. Once the place where Holy Roman emperors were crowned, today it is the financial heart of continental Europe, and on this walking tour a local guide shows you how the two worlds meet.\n\nYou will explore the charming Römerberg square, hear about coronations, fairs and the poet Goethe, then look up at the towers that earned the city its nickname 'Mainhattan'. Compact and full of contrasts, Frankfurt offers a walk that spans a thousand years in just a few streets.
