Diverse in its architecture, surprising in infrastructure and striking in its aesthetics, Frankfurt am Main rightfully earned the title of cultural center of Germany. The city of Frankfurt am Main, whose attractions are diverse and endless, can become a real treasure for a curious tourist. We go on a trip!
Skyscrapers
The first attraction, which is welcomed by the guests of Frankfurt am Main - skyscrapers. Even from the plane, you can see the focus of high-rise buildings in the busiest economic part of the city. The first giant was built just over 40 years ago, and today the number of skyscrapers is approaching 50.
Maintower
Skyscraper Mintauer can be called the most adored tourists. Despite the fact that it is not the highest (it occupies 4th place among tall buildings), its main feature is an observation deck at an altitude of 200 m, where tourists are always striving to get to. By the way, Maintower was the first skyscraper in the city with a glass facade.
The embankment of museums
To visit the museums of Frankfurt am Main, you do not have to rush to different parts of the city, they are all concentrated on the Shaumankai embankment - this is the southern bank of the River Main. As many as 13 museums open their doors to those who wish. Be sure to visit the museum of German cinema, the museum of sculpture in the house of Liebig, the museum of architecture in an extravagant building, the museum of icons and the museum of communications, having arrived in Frankfurt am Main.
Goethe House Museum
For the full museum picture of Frankfurt am Main, visit the house of the greatest German poet Goethe. He is not on the Museum embankment, but on the modest street Grosse Hirschgraben, because there was born a genius. I must say that this is a house restored by the restorers, since the original was destroyed in 1944.
Frankfurt Cathedral
This is the most magnificent cathedral of the city. It was built in the 13th century, and it crowned all the monarchs of the Great Roman Empire. The "correct" name is the Imperial Cathedral of St. Bartholomew. Frankfurt am Main considers the cathedral its pride and undeniable historical value of Germany.
Fountain of Justice
If your route passes through the main square of Frankfurt am Main Römerberg, then the Fountain of Justice, led by the Roman goddess Justice, will be opened. Pay attention, her eyes are not tied, as is customary in all the images of the goddess. Figures in the corners are nymphs from whose breasts water jets beat, they represent fertility. By the way, during the coronations of the emperors, these jets were made of white and red wine.
Zoo
The Frankfurt am Main Zoo is a landmark worthy of being in this city for its sake. It is one of the largest zoos in Europe. Here live more than 4 thousand representatives of fauna. And all this in the center of the city. In the zoo are built huge aviaries that allow birds to fly, and animals feel comfortable.
Botanical Garden
Enjoying the fauna, you can admire the flora - a wonderful place Botanical Garden. Lovers of exoticism like the Palm Garden - a unique collection of tropical plants. Thanks to the glass-metal structure, you can visit the hot tropics of Palmenhaus at any time of the year.
The Iron Bridge
