One might be surprised to hear that there is a lot to see and do in Frankfurt, which is sometimes considered to be a “layover city” rather than a must-visit German location.

Although Frankfurt is mostly renowned for being a significant financial hub, the city has recently emerged as a booming cultural hub, with a number of top-notch museums, a cutting-edge culinary scene, and a number of festivals and outdoor events.

The Taunus Alps, Heidelberg, and the lovely city of Maastricht are just a few of the places you can visit from Frankfurt that are in the Hessian region of Germany. ​

These are some must-see sights in Frankfurt if you’re seeking for free activities to do during a long stopover or plan on spending a day or two sightseeing on a limited budget.

1 – Visit the tranquil Korean Garden

You can tell right immediately from the plane that Frankfurt is a very bustling metropolis. Several parks surround the city’s core, including Grüneburgpark, which is home to a classic Korean Garden that South Korea donated as a gift to the city. The garden has two lovely pavilions and ponds and is organised into four areas to depict the 4 seasons.

This quiet location is tucked away from the crowded city centre and is a nice spot for a picnic and sunbathing on a fine day.

2 -Investigate the city at night

Frankfurt has a different personality at night. When the stores and offices are closed, the city’s busy industrial streets become enjoyable to stroll through, and the old town exudes a more romantic ambience at night than it does throughout the day.

In the evenings, there is a great atmosphere, particularly in Old Town Square as well as the river boardwalk. Ancient structures like the Opera and the Cathedral are exquisitely illuminated at night.

3. Examine the Old Town’s stunning structures.

During the Second World War, Frankfurt was frequently bombarded, and one raid nearly completely destroyed the city’s mediaeval district. The historic town has undergone substantial renovation in recent years. The majority of the mediaeval buildings and timber-framed homes that previously surrounded the Römerberg plaza have been totally rebuilt.

The renovated old town is still a sight to behold, though. In the city centre and the streets nearby, there are a few charming cafes and classic eateries as well.

4. Have a nice walk along the riverfront.

Especially from the south bank and the love lock bridge, the broad, tree-lined promenade along the river Main provides some panoramic views of the city skyline.

The river walk is a great place to go riding or just to relax and people-watch. On a lovely day, there is a lot going on along the promenade, and you may relax with a cool drink at one of the riverbank cafes.

5. Go to the Cathedral of Saint. Bartholomew.

Frankfurt’s skyline is dominated by the majestic Cathedral of St. Basil, whose Gothic tower contrasts with the contemporary skyscrapers in the downtown region. The Cathedral was extensively damaged during World War II and was rebuilt in the mid-1960s, along with many other historic structures in the city.

In addition to viewing the cathedral’s stunning inside for free, you may ascend the building’s 324 steps for stunning city views.
