    The old city center is the right place to start to discover Frankfurt history. Altekirche Nikolai and National Museum of History are representative for the beginning of the city.

    It's this sleek, modern skyscraper that totally owns the city skyline. The views from the observation deck are mind-blowing, giving you this epic panorama of Frankfurt. You can see all the cool architecture mixing old and new. Inside, it's all classy with glass and steel vibes. And guess what? There's a restaurant too, so you can munch on some amazing food while soaking in the scenery. Plus, being in the financial district adds this extra swag to the place, making it a symbol of Frankfurt's economic awesomeness. Whether you're a tourist hungry for views or a local wanting a unique dining spot, Main Tower is where it's at, capturing the vibe of Frankfurt perfectly.

    This Roman Catholic Gothic church was built in the heart of the old city. The cathedral is very well-conserved and shows many ancient masterpieces. His location is fairly easy to find because its impressive 95-meter tower and spire dominate the city skyline. In its internal, there is a magnificent pipe organ and a composition of the Jesus Christ crucifixion. It surely deserves a visit, especially during the summer, its freshness will surprise you.

    This is a large museum of natural history. Very similar to natural history museums in other major cities. Several dinosaurs, some of which are original and some are casts. If you can get on a tour, it is definitely worth it.

    I enjoyed walking this historic bridge across the river in central Frankfurt. I had good views of the city and the boats cruising the river. There are walking paths on both sides of the river and I enjoyed strolling along the river to another bridge to cross back.

    I was on a roll and had the museum two-day pass in Frankfurt. I decided to give this museum a try, although I am not very educated about films and how they are made. Just by chance, the museum had an exhibit on Weimar films and changing views of gender in that period. This was a great exhibit!
    The Weimar period (1918-1933) was a period of experimentation and trying new things in Germany. This era really deserves more study, but unfortunately it is frequently overlooked, because everyone focuses on the Nazi era. (See also the Babylon Berlin series on Netflix.)
    The exhibit had wonderful explanations (in Egl too) on such films as "Girls in Uniform," "Different from the others," "I don't want to be a man" and other titles. The original "Viktor Viktoria"--later re-made with Julie Andrews and made into a Broadway show too, was also from this period (1933). In fact, from the clips, the 1933 version looks like it was so much better.
    One of the major German actors of this period, Conrad Veidt (1893-1943) is known to North Americans as Major Strasser in Casablanca (1942), but he made many famous films in the Weimar era, before leaving Germany in 1933.
    Marlene Dietrich's dressing up in the tails and top hat in "the Blue Angel" (1933), was actually pioneered in several other pictures in shows, another gender-bending exercise. By the time MD did it, it was merely naughty/cute.
    Thanks for the fine exhibit.

    I was only in Frankfurt to catch a plane, but looked for something to do the day before. This turned out to be an interesting visit. Admittedly, I am not well-versed about Goethe, but know the basics. Honestly, if this had been Hans the baker's preserved house it would have been just as cool to visit. The architecture was comely, the furnishings were alternately elegant and over the top. There is a lovely garden with an immense fig tree. The still-green figs were as big as my fist! I'd have loved to have gotten a ripe one.

    Upstairs is a whole art museum. I didn't even see the entire thing. The staircase to access it reminded me of a Fritz Lang movie. If you go, you'll see what I mean.

    It was certainly worth the visit.

    This is a pleasant riverwalk lined with stately museums. You could easily spend a day visiting them all.
