Everything in Frankfurt turns around apple wine! Book a trip on the Ebbelwei-Express (Apple Wine Express). This old tram from the 1930s takes you to the hippest places in Frankfurt. And of course they serve excellent apple wine and salty cracknels! A walk along the museum embankment ‘Museumsufer’ is also more than worth it. You will find no less than 20 different museums next to each other: the Film Museum, the Architecture Museum, the Jewish Museum …. Can you use a little break after all that museum hopping? Then relax for a while along the embankments of the Main, the Gardens of Nice, in the palm garden, in one of the many city parks or in the zoo. And on your way back, don’t forget to look up to admire the skyline. Viel Spaß! Book my train tickets to Frankfurt >
This 18th-century bourgeois house reveals the wealth of the Gœthe family. The living room wallpapered in blue and the superb ornate stove with bas-reliefs representing the goddess of Justice and the wedding at Cana are synonymous with a privileged life. The most emotive piece, the great writer’s desk, is on the second floor. Portraits of the poet hang on the walls, as well as a silhouette of Charlotte Buff. She inspired “The Sorrows of Young Werther”, the work that drove hundreds of young people to suicide. In the other part of the house, a museum brings together the works of Gœthe (1749-1832) and organises temporary exhibitions on literary themes.

Nicknamed “Tortenstück” (slice of cake), this triangular building houses one of the finest collections of contemporary art in Europe. Here the classics (Joseph Beuys, Andy Warhol and Jasper John) hang side by side with the surprising “Tischgesellschaft” by Katharina Fritsch. While American and European art of the 1960s forms the core of the collection, the museum also offers space to young artists and to new forms of art.

The new Kunsthalle is really worth a visit for lovers of architecture! The building perfectly combines glass and modern materials which are the main elements forming its cylindrical tower.

All the trends in European painting since the 14th century are featured in this museum, more commonly known as the Städel. The German masters (Dürer, Holbein etc.) hang alongside their Flemish, Dutch and French contemporaries. Italian art of the 14th century is very well represented. Following the chronological order will lead you to the most highly-regarded artists of the 20th century, both German (via the Blaue Reiter or Die Brücke movements) and foreign (Giacometti, Tapiès, etc.). With one of the best collections in Germany, this museum must certainly be on everyone’s itinerary.

Established in 1849, Fichtekränzi has carved out its place as the first choice among the traditional restaurants of Frankfurt. Today it is considered to be one of the best. In summer the garden is often full, and the entirely wooden interior is a must-see. You can eat really well for not much money at all. And of course they make their own Apfelwein…

Restaurant Opera mixes the arts with good food in a Belle Epoque atmosphere and an ideal setting. Located on the top floor of the old opera house, the eponymous restaurant is often frequented by bankers at lunchtime, and in the evening by locals taking in a concert or show in the opera house. In the summer, stop by for a coffee at the very least; the terrace has a superb view of the square and the city buildings! The cuisine, which is German and international, is for its part extremely sophisticated.
