This is also the famous square in Frankfurt. Surrounding the Roman square, you can enjoy the fountain of the goddess of justice, classical architecture, sculptures and multiple coffee shops and restaurants around the square. Here you can see the exquisite beauty and design layout of the ancient German Frankfurt architecture. The square is wide, clean and touristy. It is not the aroma of coffee that floats, which makes people feel refreshed.
amazing area good picture spot great to have a nice coffee and relax nearby great view on the bridge where modern meets tradition

Main Tower offers the best panoramic view of Frankfurt! Standing 200 meters high, it gives you a stunning 360° perspective of the city skyline, the river, and even the distant hills. Go at sunset for a magical view. A must for first-time visitors and city lovers! #MainTower#FrankfurtViews#SkylineGermany#VisitFrankfurt#CityFromAbove
The Main Tower in Frankfurt offers visitors an extraordinary experience, not only due to its height and location but also because it combines modern urban views with a stylish setting. It is one of the few skyscrapers in Frankfurt that has a public viewing platform, allowing visitors to look out over the city's skyline, including nearby historic buildings such as the Römer and the stunning Frankfurt Cathedral.From the observation deck, guests can take in breathtaking views of Frankfurt.

Römerberg is a medieval style public space in the heart of Frankfurt 's old town. It's super cute with loads of coffee shops and pubs. It is very lively and touristic. Totally worth a visit 😍
Hey, everyone! I just came back from a trip to Frankfurt, Germany, and I want to share with you my experience of visiting one of the most iconic landmarks in the city: the Römer city hall. This is a historic building that dates back to the 15th century and has been the seat of the city's government for over 600 years. It's also a beautiful example of medieval architecture, with its distinctive gabled facade and colorful decorations.I was lucky enough to join a guided tour of the city hall, which was very informative and entertaining. The tour guide explained the history and significance of the building, as well as some of the interesting events that took place there, such as coronations, weddings, and festivals. We also got to see some of the rooms inside, such as the Emperor's Hall, where portraits of German emperors are displayed, and the Council Chamber, where important decisions are made. The tour lasted about an hour and cost 5 euros per person.I really enjoyed visiting the Römer city hall and learning more about Frankfurt's culture and heritage. It was one of the highlights of my trip and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in history and architecture. If you ever get a chance to go to Frankfurt, don't miss this amazing attraction!

The Frankfurt Iron Bridge is a famous attraction and a famous pedestrian bridge located in Frankfurt, Germany. It spans the Main River and connects the old town of Frankfurt with the Sachsenhausen district. The Iron Bridge was built in 1868 and completed in 1869. Historically, the Iron Bridge was the first suspension bridge in Europe and was originally built with funds raised by a private association. It witnessed the industrialization process of Frankfurt and experienced important historical events including destruction during World War II and reconstruction in 1946. From the bridge, you can enjoy Frankfurt's iconic buildings, such as the Main Tower and the Commerzbank Building. It is an excellent place to view the "Manhattan-style" skyline. The bridge is full of love locks, which are love locks left by lovers, symbolizing the eternity of love, so it is also called the "Love Bridge".
Very romantic bridge with a beautiful view of the main river. Totally worth visiting if you are in Frankfurt. Plus the bridge is filled with love padlocks which add a lovely charm to it.

The headquarters of the European Central Bank in Frankfurt is a 40-story skyscraper. The 12 yellow stars on the Euro Tower on the square symbolize the 12 countries that decided to use the euro before 2002.
€The Euro Tower is the cornerstone of Frankfurt's status as a European financial center. The huge euro logo reminds us of the unique position of the financial center under European integration.
After London's withdrawal from the European Union, many financial functions have been seized by Frankfurt. More companies and employment opportunities will be settled in the CBD center area formed in this area.

Frankfurt holds a museum festival every year. You can visit most museums in the city for just a few euros. There is also a fireworks show at the Main River at night. Goethe's House is a four-story building with a garden next to the Marktplatz in the city center. The furnishings in the house also show the wealthy life of the Goethe family. There are Chinese guides, so it's okay to take a look.
The great German writer Goethe was born in Frankfurt, and his grandfather was once the mayor of Frankfurt. His former residence is also the German Romantic Museum, which displays many paintings and sculptures, and has both visual and auditory sensory experiences!

The fountain of justice is a famous attraction, and many tourists punch in this attraction. Watching the goddess of justice hand up the balance of justice, symbolizing the yearning for justice in ancient Europeans. It is also because of the emergence of ideas, promoting the pursuit of justice and reform. Photographing the fountain of the goddess of justice.
There is an eye-catching bronze statue in the center of the Roman Forum, the statue of the goddess of justice fountain. The goddess holds a sword in one hand and a scale in the other, calm and resolute, symbolizing fairness, which is very beautiful and profound.

[Scenery] Various luxury brands line the streets!
[Fun] There is a Goethe sculpture in Goethe Square, and the architecture is also very distinctive!
[Value for money] Many big brands are very expensive!
Zeilstrasse is the most famous commercial street in Frankfurt. All major popular brands have at least one store on this wide street, and these stores are large in scale. There are also three large shopping malls here.
