3. Cathedral of St. Bartholomew (Dom St. Bartholomaus)

4.5 based on 2,602 reviews
This historic cathedral served for 300 years as the site of coronation for Holy Roman Emperors.
Reviewed By 612billyq - Dublin, Ireland
The St. Bartholomew Cathedral tower is well worth climbing for the views of the old town, the Main river & greater Frankfurt. The viewing platforms are at a height of 66 meters and are reached via a long stone spiral stairs. Hard on the legs as there are no stops along the way. Well worth it though for the amazing 360 degree views from the top. The descent is easier.
4. Old Opera House (Alte Oper)

4.5 based on 1,167 reviews
Destroyed by Allied bombing in 1944, Frankfurt's beautifully reconstructed opera house was reopened in 1981. It's now a major venue for concerts and operas.
Reviewed By bsandrs - Portsmouth, United Kingdom
The old Opera House was basically destroyed during the war, but has risen Phoenix like with a superb warm and great sounding interior. Very close to our hotel, a free evening for us in the City coincided with an excellent concert by the Frankfurt Radio Orchestra, which was an unexpected musical treat for us. The quality of the orchestra and soloist could not be faulted and we would certainly visit again.

This is a real institution in Frankfurt! The Kleinmarkthalle is a covered market with products from all over the world open from Monday to Saturday. On sunny days (actually even on not sunny days), everyone gathers there to have a glass of wine from the Hollander Hof. All Frankfurt meets there, Students, families, old, young... A place to go if you want a glimpse of real Frankfurt.
10. Frankfurt Christmas Market
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 380 reviews
Frankfurt has one of the oldest and largest Christmas Markets in Germany that has been running since 1393. It is a traditional winter market full of festivities, with Christmas carols and church bells ringing, and of course the giant Christmas tree, located in the scenic old town centre, decorated with thousands of lights, ribbons and bells. The market attracts more than 3 million visitors per year with more than 200 stalls to keep them busy. Many of the stalls sell classic wooden toys, rocking horses, dolls and decorations; others focus on delicious Christmas specialities like mulled wine, roast chestnuts, grilled sausages and gingerbread, filling the air with wonderful yuletide aromas. Don't miss out on the historical merry-go-round, lit up and decorated with wooden carved horses. It starts at the end of November and carries on through December.
Reviewed By TrvlLovrs
We love the market because they offer a variety of food vendors who also have a good variety of options. Plus they offer many different craft stalls. It's downtown at the Romer and in a beautiful location, especially at night. The last nights are a mad-house so avoid those if you can. It is also open during the day and less crowded than at night, but also not quite as charming.
