What to do and see in Altstadt, Hesse: The Best Architectural Buildings
There’s plenty to see and do in this 2,000-year-old German city. The gothic Saint Bartholomeus Cathedral is a perseverant structure, having been destroyed and rebuilt twice since its 14th century construction. Catch a screening at the German Film Museum, stroll the exhibit halls of one of Frankfurt’s many galleries, or climb to the top of the Main Tower for sweeping 360-degree views of the city.

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.

If I had not read the reviews here, I would have thought this is part of the old buildings of Romer. Regardless I am still impressed with the vibrancy of the colours and the beautiful half timber architecture. Just behind or adjacent (depending on your perspective) of the building, there is an exhibition of the foundations of a Roman building and reconstruction of the Carolingian Pfalz which is a part of Frankfurt Archaeological Museum. Interesting exhibition on the historical background of Franco furd or the ford of the Franks tribe.

What a wonderful experience. This is the only building left standing in 1945 the didn’t get flattened by the bombing and the food is as authentic as it gets.
