The steel and concrete pedestrian bridge, which is crossed by around 10,000 people every day, connects the city center around the Römerberg with Sachsenhausen on the other side of the Main. The footbridge was built in 1869 as a neo-Gothic half-timbered structure by Peter Schmick, but has been modified several times, most recently in 1993. It had already lost its twin branches towering over the two river piers in 1911. Along with the neighboring, modern Holbeinsteg, it is the more romantic way to cross the Main on foot.

The Römer is probably one of Frankfurt's most famous landmarks and a popular postcard motif. The building complex, which includes the town hall, was acquired by the city of Frankfurt on March 11, 1405 with the "Römer" and "Goldener Schwan" and then expanded. The Römer can be visited; particularly interesting are the Kaisersaal, built after 1612 (where the German emperors were crowned and pictures of all the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire hang), as well as the Schwanenhalle and the Römerhalle, which have remained almost unchanged for 600 years. The facades have not been preserved true to the original, but were redesigned in historicizing mixed styles at the beginning of the 20th century and after the Second World War. The Römerberg with the Römer and the surrounding old town is a Frankfurt landmark that you definitely should see!

The Städel Museum's collection presents masterpieces of European art from the early 14th century to the present day. The Graphic Collection, with its 100,000 drawings and prints from the late Middle Ages to the present day, is one of the most important cabinets in Germany; selected items in the field of sculpture complement the holdings. The Städel's collection presents masterpieces of European art from seven centuries; famous paintings from different eras and artistic landscapes from the early 14th century to the present day, making it one of the most important museums in Germany. 700 years of European art are gathered here in a selection of 2,700 paintings, 600 sculptures and 100,000 drawings and prints from Dürer, Holbein and Cranach to Rembrandt, Vermeer, Monet, Van Gogh and Cézanne to Matisse and Picasso, Bacon and Baselitz, Serra and Palermo. A highlight that should not be missed.

Consecrated in 1833, St. Paul's Church has gone down in history not because of its use as a church, but because of its role as the "cradle of German democracy". On May 18, 1848, the representatives of the German people moved into St. Paul's Church to give Germany a liberal constitution. The almost 800 parliamentarians, including names that are still well-known today, such as Heinrich von Gagern, formulated a basic law that was also adopted by the fathers of today's basic law. After the failure of parliament and the victory of the reaction, St. Paul's Church was returned to the community in 1852. Like the entire old town of Frankfurt, St. Paul's Church was destroyed in the days of March 1944. But as early as March 17, 1947, the foundation stone for reconstruction was laid. St. Paul's Church was to become a symbol of the reconstruction of the city and a monument to democratic history.
