6 ARRIVAL & TRANSPORT
Public transport
In line with traditional German efficiency, the public transport
system runs smoothly and on time.
The Frankfurt public transportation system (RMV; Rhein-Main-
Verkehrsverbund, www.rmv.de, tel. 0180-57 68 46 36, €0.14/
min) includes regional trains (RB), regional express trains (RE),
S-Bahn, U-Bahn, trams and buses. The system allows you to
travel with all methods of transportation on one ticket.
The U-Bahn (metro) comprises seven lines serving the
centre of the city. These tiddly trains are not much more
than underground trams, proved by the fact that some
lines surface immediately after leaving the core of the city
and trundle along on the street. You’re never very far from
a U-Bahn station. The stations are all well lit and most
are decorated in a slightly dodgy 1980s colour scheme.
Destinations are displayed prominently; keep the final
station or the colour of the line in mind to navigate the more
complicated stations. The S-Bahn complements the U-Bahn
as a far more extensive surburban rail network, also serving
the airport and surrounding towns. Usually rolling on ground
level, they duck underground in the city centre and pretend to
be an U-Bahn to confuse the tourists. Night buses take over
after 01:30, departing in all directions from Konstablerwache
every half hour on the half hour. Very nicely, the driver will even
stop between stops to ensure you get home safely.
Tickets (Fahrkarten) can be purchased from the depres-
singly confusing RMV machines at tram and bus stops, as
well as at U and S-Bahn stations. The machines accept
coins and banknotes, and only issue tickets for immediate
use as Frankfurt has no validating machines. Instructions
are in German, English, French, Italian, Spanish and Turkish.
There is a variety of tickets, and prices depend how far you
are travelling and the time of the day. Reduced fares are
available Mon to Fri 18:30 - 06:00 &; 09:00 - 16:00, throug-
hout the day at weekends and all public holidays (excluding
the airport). During these times, you will automatically be
given the ermäßigt (reduced) version. Single tickets are just
that - no return journeys or stops. The most used tickets
have special buttons.
Press Einzelfahrt Frankfurt for a single ticket, which costs
€2.40/2.30 (ermäßigt). If you’re travelling less than 2km
(usually three stops) buy the Kurzstrecke ticket (short
journey; €1.50,). So, if you’re going to use some form
of public transport more than two times a day, get the
Tageskarte (day ticket, €6.00). If you’re travelling to or
from the airport, get the Einzelfahrt Frankfurt Airport
(single ticket, €3.80), or the Tageskarte Frankfurt Airport
dayticket (€9.35). Certain hotels sell the €7.90 HotelGast-
Ticket which is valid for two days in central Frankfurt plus
the airport, and is cheaper than two day tickets. Group
tickets are available for, well, groups and families. A five
person card (adults and children) Tageskarte is €9.50 and
€14.30 to include the airport. Finally, another money saving
Frankfurt In Your Pocket
deal is the Hessenticket, valid for five people and allowing
any number of 2nd Class (not for ICE and IC trains) trips in
the federal state of Hesse, which includes Frankfurt, for €31.
For more information, visit the traffiQ office “Verkehrsinsel”
at Hauptwache.
Ruthless ticket controllers patrol the system frequently and
will not hesitate to slap you with a €40 fine for ‘riding black’
(Schwarzfahren) - no excuses accepted.
Trains
Frankfurt’s main train station, Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, is
a breeze. Find a Reisebank exchange office (open 07.30-
21.00) at the southern exit. You can get to the city centre
on foot in about 15 minutes; head straight out of the main exit,
cross the road or use the passageway and walk straight down
Kaiserstr. through the scruffy but harmless Bahnhofsviertel
district. Alternatively, head for the U-Bahn station under the
main hall; many lines head to the Hauptwache stop in the city
centre; U4 and 5 pass under the historic centre). Or head for the
Tiefbahnhof (deep station; entrance between tracks 16-20)
to catch an S-Bahn to the centre or to the airport (S8 or 9).
DB (Deutsche Bahn, German railways) runs ICE trains (high
speed), EC (EuroCity) and IC (InterCity). Seat reservations are
sometimes obligatory; check before boarding. Tickets can
be purchased at the the DB Centre and travel agency (open
06:00 - 22:30) in the main hall. Book online in advance
at DB’s fabulous online train timetable at www.bahn.de.
Planes
Frankfurt International Airport (FRA) is a modern trans-
portation wonder, second only in Europe to Heathrow in
terms of air traffic, yet lightyears ahead in organisation.
There’s actually much more to the airport than one would
expect and time can be pleasurably spent at its shopping
centre, nightclub, art gallery or even the X-rated cinema. For
airport information, check www.frankfurt-airport.de or call
tel. 0180-53 72 46 36.
The airport conveniently integrates the (DB) train and bus ter-
minals, but the easiest way to get to the city centre is by tak-
ing a S-Bahn train from under Terminal 1 (the SkyLine shuttle
train and shuttle buses connect from Terminal 2 should you
arrive there). At the station, press the Einzelfahrt Frankfurt
button for a one-way public transport ticket to the centre
(€3.55), or the Tageskarte Frankfurt inkl. Flughaven button for
a dayticket including travel to/from the airport (€8.40); see
the Public transport section for more details. S-Bahn trains
to the city centre depart from platform 1 every few minutes.
Take S8 or S9 (direction Frankfurt Hbf, Offenbach or Hanau)
which all stop at the main railway station (Hauptbahnhof), the
Hauptwache and Konstablerwache. A taxi ride to/from the
city centre takes 20-30 minutes and costs about €20. This
is Germany, so you won’t get ripped off - the reliable metres
tick merrily away at a fixed rate.
Travellers flying via Frankfurt-Hahn airport (110km
west of the city, www.hahn-airport.de) can get to and
from Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof using Ryanair’s regular bus
service (€12, 1 hour 45 minutes).
Taxis
Taxis queue outside S- and U-Bahn stops and can also be
hailed from the street at the same rate. This is Germany;
you won’t get ripped off. Calling a taxi is an option as well;
mention to the operator if you want to pay by credit card, not
all have card-readers.

 EBBELWEI EXPRESS
Public transportation is notably one of the best things about
Frankfurt. Easy access in and out of the city, from the airport
to the Messe keeps the visitors rolling in year after year. With
an estimated 150,000,000 trips per year, and 67 subway,
tram and bus lines, Frankfurters enjoy a leisurely trip round
their city, reaching destinations in no time.
With over 100 stops, the most ubiquitous of the track laid in
Frankfurt is used for the trams (Strassenbahn). Of course,
it wasn’t always this easy to make your way round the city.
frankfurt.inyourpocket.com
7
The first tram was introduced in 1872, the horse-drawn
wagon (Pferdewagon), but that quickly became a logistical
nightmare. Unpredictable horses were temperamental, not
to say the least of their unfortunate droppings, affectionately
referred to as ‘horseapples.’ Seeking a sanitary and safer
solution to this problem, the first electric trams were
introduced in Germany in 1881, in Berlin, and in 1889 three
electric trams lines opened in Frankfurt. On the maiden
voyage of ‘The Electric Tram’ passengers were so excited
that it was standing room only. By the end of 1899 approval
for many more tram lines came.
The most famous of Frankfurt’s trams is the quirky Ebbelwei
Express. It has become a landmark in Frankfurt since its
inception in 1977. Originally built in 1954, this was a Frankfurt
workhorse (gratefully without the horses) until its retirement
in 1978. Now sentimentally referred to as ‘Oldtimer’, it takes
you past all the historic sights of Frankfurt, such as the
Römer, the Messe, Sachsenhausen and the Zoo. On board
passengers are given a bottle of Possman’s applewine and
a bag of pretzels. Made from fermented apples, apfelwein
(ebbelwei or äbbelwoi in local dialect) contains about 5%
alcohol, and it is the official drink of Frankfurt. Apple juice is
given to children, for whom the jolly multi-coloured tram and
its upbeat music are a perfect combination.
You can climb on and off anywhere you like, but tickets
(adults €5, children €2.50) are only good for one trip around
the city. It runs every Saturday, Sunday, and on public
holidays, but its best to check the website first to make sure
it is running and the best place for you to board. A round trip
of the city takes about one hour. It’s not possible to reserve
seats, so do be aware that it could be crowded on days with
good weather. If you’d like it all to yourself, it’s possible to
rent it for parties or special occasions at www.vgf-ffm.de or
tel. 21 32 24 25.

Äbbelwoi taverns
Although it’s an acquired taste, many find Frankfurt’s
favourite drink, applewine, to be a better thirst-quencher
than beer. Apparently Frankfurters are the only Germans
with this opinion so you will only find applewine in Frankfurt
and the surrounding area. Juice from pressed apples is
fermented (read: left to rot) for 8-10 weeks to produce that
unique applewine flavour. Some restaurants make their own
applewine while others are supplied by orchards located
just outside the city. Named Äbbelwoi in the local dialect,
it’s resembles cider but is rather sour, so many people
choose to mix it with sparkling water (sauergespritzt) or
lemonade (süssgespritzt). Locals, having been raised on the
brew, prefer it straight and in the less touristy taverns, the
barman often refuses to dilute it. Also, be warned that when Zur Schönen Müllerin
consumed in large quantities, applewine can give even the
heartiest stomach a run for its money. Order it by the glass Im Blauen Bock I-2, Saalburgstr. 36, MBornheim

German
Dinner in a German restaurant is not just a time to quiet your
growling stomach, but also an opportunity to meet some
locals. It’s normal for patrons to share long wooden tables
with other guests - so introduce yourself to your neighbours,
attempt to mimic their pronunciations of menu items, and
make room for others if the place gets crowded. And know in
advance that service is not as attentive as many of you are
used to at home. In addition to the traditional German dishes
mentioned on the German menu page, you will also find unique
Frankfurt creations like Grüne Sosse, a sour cream-like sauce
flavoured with herbs, usually served with eggs or potatoes.

Spanish & Latino
Bodega Barcelona C-2, Kleine Bockenheimerstr. 10,
MHauptwache, tel. (+49)(0)69 13 37 93 79. Made of
dark brown wood and lit almost exclusively with candles,
this small place is often nicknamed Klein Barcelona and
it is always jampacked upstairs and down. Bodega has
fantastic sangria with loads of fresh fruit, and many lovely
Spanish wines. The tapas are fair, but the atmosphere is
great. QOpen 17:30 - 01:00, Fri, Sat 17:30 - 02:00. (€8-16).

Ban Thai A-1, Leipziger Str. 26, MBockenheimer Warte,
tel. (+49)(0)69 77 26 75, banthaif26@aol.com, www.
banthairestaurant.de. If there were just a touch more humidity,
you could imagine you were in Thailand. Ornately festooned in
bamboo, this Thai is among the best in Frankfurt. The cuisine is
superb; a succulent mix of spices and sauces, with the shrimp
dishes scoring particularly well. Also nicely warming was the
staff’s gracious service even on busy evenings. Ban Thai has a
take-away service (call 70 43 10) if you just want to grab a quick
meal but it doesn’t compare to the food indoors. Q Open 12:00

High-quality and good-sized servings of authentic Thai food
on two stories near the train station. The vast menu offers

Turkish
Gundi A-1, Leipziger Str. 85-87, MLeipziger Str., tel.
(+49)(0)69 70 01 61. Truly gourmet Turkish food set in
a rather upscale, but none too extravagant setting. We
highly recommend the warm and cold appetiser plates, so
you can sample dishes like stuffed grape leaves and fried
sheep’s cheese. But the grilled meat specialties, such as
the aubergine and minced lamb in a soft flour roll up are
among their best offerings. It has a friendly atmosphere, with
random musicians walking in the night we visited, putting
the crowd into a lively mood. QOpen 09:00 - 24:00, Sun
11:30 - 23:30. PAEB
Manolya F-1, Habsburger Allee 6A, MHöhenstr., tel.
(+49)(0)69 494 01 62. Although Döners are ubiquitous in
Frankfurt, this Turkish restaurant is far more than just a kebab
stand. Sit in the newly renovated semi-enclosed terrace with
beautiful funky tiles, and soak in the enchanting atmosphere
while chowing down on amazing stuffed vegetable delights,
or treat yourself to the grill platter for an all-out meat gorge.
If you are more into the authentic Turkish atmosphere, come
early so you can grab a seat at the special sunken living room
table for a seductive harem feel. The staff is very laid back
and helpful, particularly if you are in need of suggestions for
what to order. QOpen 11:00 - 01:00, Mon, Tue 17:00 - 01:00,

impressive seafood, meat and duck specialities plus a
delightful menu for vegetarians. There’s an equally extensive
wine menu. QOpen 10:00 - 01:00. (€9-15). A

known gem in Frankfurt, this local German bar is directly
across from the banks of the Main in Sachsenhausen. The

to its kind owner/bartender, who serves the perfect pint of
Guinness. With a pool table and excellent snacks such as
salad and sandwiches. QOpen 19:00 - 24:00.

Soho E-3, Fritschengäßchen 5, MSüdbahnhof, tel. (+49)
(0)69 62 12 59, www.soho-frankfurt.de. It has funky lights
all over the place and an eclectic local artist collection that
changes frequently. Comfy sofas and a DJ spinning tunes you’ve
been wanting to hear for a while make it feel more like you are
relaxing in a living room than a bar. They seemingly play every
type of music including rock, indie, punk, alternative, wave, soul,
lounge and sometimes just Elvis. The bar staff is extremely
friendly, but it is small and always crowded, as it is a big hit
with the local Sachsenhauseners. QOpen 19:00 - 02:00.
Café bars
The cool places that open up to serve breakfast/brunch,
go on to serve lunch and then turn into a café until din-
nertime draws in the foodies, after which the cocktail bar
mixes drinks and the crowd piles onto the dancefloor.
Alex D-2, Eschenheimer Anlage 40, MEschenheimer
Turm, tel. (+49)(0)69 91 50 97 80, alex@alexgastro.
de, www.alexgastro.de. A great place to hit before or after
seeing a movie at the nearby English cinema (Turm-Palast),
Alex offers a retro diner-like atmosphere with a bit of an
upscale twist. Part of a large chain, diversity seems to be
their speciality. Our favourite is the cheap breakfast buffet
and the oversized sandwiches. They also have a fantastic ice
cream selection, and a complete cocktail menu, all in English.
QOpen 09:00 - 01:00, Fri, Sat 09:00 - 03:00. (€4-9). AB

wache, tel. (+49)(0)69 90 02 58 35, info@buenavista-ffm.
de, www.buenavista-ffm.de. Antiqued furniture and chande-
liers, as well as oversized comfy leather chairs create an upscale
dining atmosphere, appropriate for either a late night cognac with
cigar or lunch. Most impressive are the generously sized, beauti-
fully presented and delectable tapas, such as grilled mushrooms
and aubergine in sheep’s cheese and tomato. Steaks, fajitas,
a full cocktail bar, and great service round out the bill. QOpen
11:30 - 01:00, Fri, Sat 11:30 - 02:00. (€11-21). PAB

che, tel. (+49)(0)69 13 88 67 09, kontakt@cafe-bar-
celona.de, www.cafe-bar-celona.de. Be wary of hitting
this already favourite Frankfurt café just after 18:00, as it
is located in the heart of Frankfurt’s banking district and
locals have quickly caught on to its great atmosphere, low
prices, and impressive outdoor seating arrangement. Crispy
flour tortilla pizzas make for fantastic cheap eats but there is
also a generous selection of wraps, main dishes, cocktails,
wines and beers. Super trendy Spanish influenced décor is
mirrored by its super trendy clientele, so it’s probably best to
look the part. QOpen 09:00 - 01:00, Fri, Sat 09:00 - 02:00.

ge, tel. (+49)(0)69 29 80 19 50, info@eurodeli.de, www.
eurodeli.de. Because it’s located near many of Frankfurt’s
bank buildings, this is a popular spot for after-work happy
hour. Tuesday nights are especially loud and busy, sometimes
requiring a short wait to get in. Order drinks as well as food
at the bar. A DJ usually plays a mix of modern music. QOpen

Flipper F-1, Berger Str. 86, MMerianpl., tel. (+49)(0)69
44 33 05. Flipper is by far one of the most popular cafés
in Frankfurt’s famous Bornheim area. It has a full breakfast,
lunch, and dinner menu, and offers different lush salad platters
that change daily. Always check out the special features for
the day (Tageskarte), as these are usually better than the
burgers and fries offered on the normal menu. The generous
portions of food are definitely above average, but it’s more
a place to see and be seen. QOpen 09:00 - 02:00, Fri, Sat

de. The stuff of a typical trendy Frankfurt bar, this is a café
by day with international offerings, from soups and salads
to tacos and tandoori chicken. The crowd rolls around from
weary afternoon shoppers taking a coffee or lunch break to
a trendier after-work crowd, who party at the weekend when
it is transformed into a rooftop nightclub. It’s worth it for the
view alone. QOpen 11:00 - 23:00. Club open Fri, Sat 22:00

ima-multibar.de. Professing to be the feel-good option, IMA
does seem to run a tight healthy ship around these parts
with predominantly fresh sandwiches, baked potatoes, and
salads, with all kinds of interesting ways of dressing them up,
such as coconut cashew sauce or Asia-vinaigrette. Everything
is homemade and it’s quite cheap. IMA transforms into a

dropped her space ship into Frankfurt, and is using this as her
secret hideout. This garish space-themed bar is located right
next to the English cinema (Turm Palast), so they get an inter-
national crowd coming in before and after the show. The daily
happy hours feature over 100 cocktails, and there are lots of
Tex Mex snacks and tapas, including chicken fried on a stick in
innumerable styles. Service varies, but the cocktails are always

www.walden-frankfurt.com. Inspired by the words of Henry
Thoreau, as scribed on the lime green walls of the café, pure
simplicity is the concept of Walden. A blend of east and west
fusion cooking, such as spinach salmon lasagne in a wasabi
Hollandaise sauce or the tandoori chicken salad, they also do
great pizza, pasta and steak. Friendly service and beautiful

Batschkapp Maybachstr.24, tel. (+49)(0)69 95 21 84

largest professional venue for bands and concerts, Batschkapp
is definitely a place you should plan to go if you are in the mood
for some live music. The feel changes according to each differ-
ent act that comes in of course, but the general atmosphere
is great for seeing a band as the stage and the dance floor
are in such close proximity that you really feel like part of the
show. The capacity is fairly small, but many a famous band has
headlined here. Q Open Fri, Sat 22:00 - 04:00. E
Cocoon J-2, Carl-Benz-Str. 21, tel. (+49)(0)69 90 02 00,
www.cocoonclub.net. A stylish and beautiful visual world
made concrete, DJ Sven Väth’s creation employs genetic ar-
chitecture inspired by nature to create a breathtaking nightclub
that literally comes alive. The ‘membrane wall,’ a combination
of a wire and plastic mesh matrix dramatically encircles the
dance floor, where the 120,000-Watt sound system blasts
house and techno music to an amazing array of light visuals.
Guests can nestle up in leather cocoon couch pads that are
housed within the wall, or choose a VIP room with adjustable
lights, sound and cameras to spy on the rest of the guests. Q

(0)69 28 76 62, mail@cookys.de, www.cookys.de. A
downstairs nightclub, Cooky’s lacks the grace and (happily) the
snobbishness that some nightclubs around town are infamous
for. Playing mostly hip-hop, house and R ‘n’ B, they also have
great live concerts. Plenty of tables and chairs surround the
dance floor so you can sit and chat but Cooky’s is definitely more
of a booty shaking good time. Q Open 22:00 - 07:00; Fri, Sat

(0)69 46 09 43 55. A bar first and a club second, this
place offers something very special for the late night partier:
no cover charge. The music is always house, the theme is
barely Inca, and there are usually drink specials on. The first
section is primarily a bar, but in the back there are large vinyl
booths set up round a smallish dance floor. A bit crowded,

near the station is full of singles on the prowl; women have
a much easier time getting in when the place is full. Inside
there’s a central dance floor with disco, pop and hip-hop, an
upstairs balcony, the Platin-VIP lounge, and a mix of fashion
on parade. Galerie is especially popular for its after-work
parties on Thursday. No jeans. Galerie professes a open

www.king-kamehameha.de. Known as the Kingka for
obvious reasons, this is Frankfurt’s swankiest club. It’s also
one of the most restrictive - expect to be turned down at
the door if you’re wearing jeans, khakis or anything that
marks you as a tourist. An 80s band plays to a full house on
Thursday nights. A bar covers the length of the right-side wall
downstairs, and there’s a large dance floor in the center. Q

38 WHAT TO SEE
Essential Frankfurt
For a small city, Frankfurt has a fair share of sights.
Must-sees include a trip up to the top of the Main
Tower skyscraper (or, lacking money or time, to the top
floor of the Zeilgalerie mall), a stroll from Opernplatz
to Konstabler Wache and a peek at the Römerberg.
With more time on hand, visit the Städelsches Kun-
stinstitut museum.
Main sights
Kaiserdom & Museum D-3, Domplatz, MDom/Römer,
tel. (+49)(0)69 5353 - 91 22 02, www.kaiserdom-
koenigslutter.de. The Kaiserdom is the tall cathedral
overlooking Domplatz. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the
Holy Roman Emperors were ceremoniously crowned here.
The Dom museum is full of historical artifacts, including
pictures of Frankfurt at various times from the 14th century
to today. Pick up a schedule of free organ music concerts. Q
Church open 09:00 - 12:00, 14:30 - 18:00, Fri 14:30 - 18:00.
Museum open 10:00 - 17:00, Sat, Sun 11:00 - 17:00, closed
Mon. Admission €2/1.
Paulskirche D-3, Paulsplatz, MDom/Römer, tel. (+49)
(0)69 28 10 98. Accessed from the Neue Krame pedestrian
street, this 18th century church briefly served as the seat
of German parliament when the first freely elected general
assembly met here in 1848. A mural by Johannes Grutzke
depicts the historical procession of representatives to the
Paulskirche. QOpen 10:00 - 16:00.
Römerberg D-3, Rathaus Platz, MDom/Römer. For
centuries this medieval square was the hub of city govern-
ment. It looks a bit fake, and it is fake. The Römerberg was
levelled during WWII, then partly reconstructed. The west
side of the square is occupied by the Römer, city hall. On
the east side is a row of restored half-timber houses called
the Ostzeile, originally built in the 15th and 16th centuries.
The Fountain of Justice stands in the square’s centre.
The Römerberg is the site of several public festivals and
a tourist office.
Westend Synagogue Freiherr vom Stein-Str. 30,
MWestend, tel. (+49)(0)69 72 62 63. Although it suf-
fered bombing damage, this is the only Frankfurt synagogue
to survive WWII. Located at the corner of Freiherr-vom-Stein
Straße, it was renovated in the 1950s.
Museums
Frankfurt has its share of world class museums and art
galleries. Take your pick and enjoy some culture.
Goethe-Haus & Museum D-2, Großer Hirschgraben
23-25, MHauptwache, tel. (+49)(0)69 13 88 00, fax
(+49)(0)69 13 88 02 22, info@goethehaus-frankfurt.de,
www.goethehaus-frankfurt.de. Birthplace of Frankfurt’s
most famous poet and writer, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
Frankfurters hold mixed opinions of Goethe, who declined to
keep his citizenship of the city when he moved away from
it. There’s more to see in the Haus than in the museum;
reconstructed in the 1950s, the timber-framed Goethe Haus
contains items just like those that filled it when the wealthy
Goethe family lived there. Via a small garden you walk to the
museum, which contains a library of the writer’s works. Call in
advance to arrange tours in English. QOpen 10:00 - 18:00,
Sun 10:00 - 17:30. Admission €5/2.50.

inside than out. You’ll learn about the royal roots of the city, the

the destruction of the city in the war. The top exhibits include
a beautifully crafted model of the medieval city, and another
rather shocking one of the flattened centre in 1945. QOpen

The southern bank of the Main boasts one of Germany’s best
cultural treasures. The Museumsufer (museum embankment)

all the way to Dreikönigskirche church in the east. The strip
holds thirteen of the city’s museums, all located in wonderfully
restored villas from the 1900s set between structures dating
back to the 1800s. Internationally acclaimed architects such
as Richard Meier and Oswald Mathias Ungers have extended
the existing buildings with modern additions. Museums found
here include the Film Museum, the Museum of Applied Art, the
Jewish Museum and the Architecture Museum.

museum in Europe. The angular-looking building, designed by

Money
Claiming 83,000 o f
the 600,000 jobs in
Frank furt, banks are
taken very seriously
around these parts. 83
percent of Frankfurt’s
GDP is based in service
industries, so if inhabit-
ants don’t work directly
for the banks them-
selves, they probably
work for companies
which somehow indi-
rectly support them. The GDP per Frankfurt employee
is a whopping €70,165, and the balance sheet of banks
headquartered in Frankfurt comes to a staggering
€2,218 billion. There are over 315 banks here, includ-
ing 177 foreign institutions, which is probably why you
can walk around town and hear five different languages
on any given day.
The most famous bank in Frankfurt is the European
Central Bank (ECB, www.ecb.europa.eu), which makes
Frankfurt the capital city of the euro. The current presi-
dent of the ECB is Frenchman Jean-Claude Trichet. Politi-
cally independent of the governments of the EU member
states, the ECB is responsible together with the national
central banks for the definition and implementation of
monetary policy in the eurozone. Its mission is to main-
tain price stability for the eurozone, thereby safeguarding
the value of the euro. The ECB building houses a gift
and bookshop with plenty of literature and coin sets

Closed Sat, Sun. The Visitors Gallery is open to visitors
from 10:30 to 18:00 by appointment only. To book a

advance. Extended tours, which cost €125 plus MwSt.

fantasyland focuses on many different issues, including
the history of currency, safety and printing of money,
antique coin collections and the changeover from the

de, www.struwwelpeter-museum.de. Written by world-
renowned physician, author and lifelong citizen of Frankfurt
Heinrich Hoffman, Stuwwelpeter, (pronounced Stroo-velpay-
ter) or Slovenly Peter, is his most famous character. He began
sketching for children to ease their nerves while visiting his
doctor’s office, and eventually wrote Struwwelpeter as a gift
for his three-year-old son in 1844. It and many other stories
quickly became classics (and cautionary tales) worldwide.
The small gallery is a collection of original artwork created
by Hoffman, editions and parodies of Struwwelpeter from the
19th and 20th centuries, as well as other paraphernalia to do
with his life and work as an author and an psychiatric innova-
tor. The book can be purchased in scores of languages - Mark
Twain did one translation. It’s worth a look if you are at the
Römerberg wandering around, particularly as admission is
free and they have a great gift shop. QOpen 10:00 - 17:00.

Parks & Gardens
Bethmannpark E-1/2, Berger Str./ Mauerweg, MMe-
rianpl.. Located in front of Friedberger Tor and opened to
the public in 1952, Bethmannpark is worth visiting to see
the Chinese Gardens - with pagoda. Chess players can play
using the park’s metre-high chess pieces. However, the park
is located off the busy Friedberger Landstraße and, as such,
is not the most peaceful of Frankfurt’s green spaces.
frankfurt.inyourpocket.com

Grüneburgpark & Schönhof-Pavillon B-1, Grüne-
burgweg, MWestend. Located in the Westend area,
Grüneburgpark is the second largest green space in the
city, with great tree-lined paths for strolling and jogging as
well as spacious lawns for chillin’ or Fußball. The park was
founded in 1789 by P. Tehmann-Metzler, the original owner,
and named Zur Grünen Burg. It was handed to the city of
Frankfurt in 1940 and today, the park has been expanded
and holds exotic trees and plants, some of which older than
100 years. In the summertime an open-air cinema screens
films and concerts take place on the lawns. The Schönhof-
Pavillon, originally a garden house from the 18th century,
serves as a café and restaurant.
Günthersburgpark I-1, MBornheim Mitte. Basketball
courts, gigantic fountains for splashing around in and large lawns
for sunbathing make this Bornheim park an exquisite place. There
is always a game of football or badminton being played and it’s
a great place for a stroll during the crisp fall months.
Holzhausen Park I-1, MHolzhausenstr.. This park in
Nordend contains fantastic suburban architecture like the
peculiar Holzhausenschlösschen; a moated baroque sum-
mer residence. The castle frequently holds classical music
concerts, exhibitions and other events. There is a large play-
ground for children. However, dogs aren’t allowed in the park.
Lohrberg I/J-1. Head to the 185m-high Lohrberg, 6km
northeast of the city, where you can enjoy grand views of the
surrounding Rhine-Main area as well as the city skyline. Also
nearby is Frankfurt’s last vineyard, the Lohrberger Hang. A
beer garden in the park serves applewine and, of course, beer.
Ostpark I-2, MEissporthalle/Festplatz. A charming park,
with a vast expanse of green for sunbathing, kicking around
a football, or just lazing. Frankfurters are very keen on grilling
frankfurters there on the weekends but it’s big enough to
accommodate everyone. It also has a huge lake right in its
centre, a rarity for city parks.
Stadtwald F-4. It’s well worth the 10-minute tram journey to the
spacious Stadtwald (city woods) on the outskirts of Sachsenhau-
sen. Paths leading into the forest accommodate travel by bicycle,
horse or foot. In the park you’ll find duck-filled ponds, barbecue
facilities and picturesque views of the city from the Goetheturm.
For the more actively inclined, there are training courses where
you can turn it up a notch. Near the tower there’s a beer garden
(also serving cocktails) and an adventure playground.

notice the bright red and blue tram trundling around town on
weekend afternoons. The one-hour ride costs €6 (children
€3) and includes a bottle of applewine and a pretzel. The

then loops back to Bornheim. For information on schedules,

WHAT TO SEE 41
Sachsenhäuser Warte
One of Frankfurt’s oldest remaining buildings, the Sach-
senhäuser Warte fortress tower dates back to 1470,
when it was built to guard the most important road lead-
ing south. Besides forming part of the city fortifications,
for centuries – before the arrival of skyscrapers – it was
a popular place for locals to view the city from above.
The Sachsenhäuser Warte underwent several attacks;
the 1519 clash with Franz von Sickingen was resisted
without the tower being scratched, but unfortunately
the encounter with Markgraf Albrecht Alcibiades von
Brandenburg in 1552 resulted in the tower being burnt
down, later rebuilt as a watchtower. It survived World
War Two undamaged, though the Baroque house next
door was ruined. Nowadays, the Sachsenhäuser Warte
is a popular bar and restaurant in green surroundings.

42 SKYSCRAPERS
With ten buildings over 150m high in the city centre, Frankfurt
(jokingly nicknamed Mainhattan) has a unique skyline for a
European city. Wartime destruction and the need for office
space during Germany’s economic boom in the 1960s and
70s led Frankfurters to look up for space solutions. Indeed,
judging by the uninspired architecture (to say the least), the
motto of those decades seemed to be stick your banks in
the air like you just don’t care.
Get great (and free) views of the skyline from the top floor of
the Zeilgalerie mall, which is connected to the roof terrace of
the Galeria Kaufhof department store.

Top buildings
Although the highest structure in town is the 331m Europaturm
television tower in the northern outskirts, the highest
skyscraper is the triangular Commerzbank Zentrale at 259m
(300.10m if you count the mast and the little blinking light
at the top). It’s also the highest in Europe. Size does matter
when boys play with building blocks - the Commerzbank is
a full two metres higher than the previous highest building
in Frankfurt and Europe, the MesseTurm (Trade Fair tower,
257m). Third in line is the Westend Straße tower near the
station (208m). The crown at the top of the building needs
heating in winter to prevent icicles from forming. The Main
Tower with its viewing platform at 200m is next, followed by the
186m Trianon building, which has an upside-down triangular
mirror on the roof. Holding the record for 15 years from 1978,
the Silver Tower houses the Dresdner Bank, and used to have
a top-floor swimming pool which the bankers later replaced
with a conference room. The Marriott hotel has checked
into the 159m Plaza Büro Center, and next up are the 155m

44 SHOPPING
The most popular shopping area is the Fußgängerzone
(pedestrian street) of the Zeil, beginning at Hauptwache
and stretching all the way to Konstablerwache, with the
city’s main department stores (Kaufhof and Karstadt) as
bookends. On its western end, the Zeil changes its name
and becomes Fressgasse (eat-street) with enough cafés,
patisseries and delicatessens to recharge from any shop-
ping spree. In the same area is Schillerstraße, home to
slightly less designer, but nonetheless quality clothing and
gift shops. For more funky boutiques, second-hand outlets
and hard-to-find items, try Berger Straße, with shops
extending from the Merianplatz to Bornheim Mitte U-Bahn
stations, or else Leipziger Straße in Bockenheim.
