What to do and see in Altstadt, Hesse: The Best Sights & Landmarks

September 11, 2021 Kaleigh Reichenbach

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.

Cathedral of St. Bartholomew (Dom St. Bartholomaus)

This historic cathedral served for 300 years as the site of coronation for Holy Roman Emperors.

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.

The train stops directly at Roemerberg. It is such a lovely square with all of the old style buildings. The Christmas market was on when we visited so it was very special.

St. Paul's Church (Paulskirche)

This church is where Germany's kings and emperors have been crowned since 1253.

Reviewed By Barbs25 - Staffordshire, United Kingdom

well worth a visit, not your average German church at all. Its all set out in the circular shape - lot of information, history and art on the outside and inside the actual church part its very simple and modern. Almost feels like a lecture hall with lots of seating in rows with desks. Free entry too
