The heart of Frankfurt - Innenstadt (City Centre) - is ideal for tourists who wish to be at the centre of the action. Home to iconic landmarks such as the Römerberg, St. Paul's Church, and the Goethe House, the Innenstadt offers a rich mix of historical sites alongside modern shopping areas like Zeil Street. Accommodation options here range from luxury hotels to budget-friendly options.
Sachsenhausen is located on the southern bank of the Main River, and is well-known for its traditional apple wine taverns, or 'Apfelweinkneipen', and its vibrant nightlife. Sachsenhausen is a great area for experiencing local culture and cuisine whilst providing easy access to the Museum Embankment.
The upscale neighbourhood of Westend is famed for its leafy residential streets, grandiose villas, and the close proximity to the Palmengarten, Frankfurt's botanical oasis. It offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle, with excellent options for more discerning travellers.
Directly adjacent to the main train station, Bahnhofsviertel is a bustling hub with a diverse, multicultural atmosphere. Recently undergoing rejuvenation, it provides convenient access for arriving and departing travellers, with a range of accommodation to suit various tastes and budgets.
Frankfurt boasts a well-organised and extensive public transport system that makes it superbly convenient to travel within the city, including trams, buses, U-Bahn (subway), and S-Bahn (suburban trains). The network is clean, efficient, and cost-effective, facilitating effortless exploration of the city and its surroundings. Driving in the city can be more challenging due to traffic and parking constraints, but if you prefer personal mobility, car rentals and taxis are readily available.
