Хотите устроить «свидание вслепую»? Прокатиться на трамвае, накачавшись алкоголем? Лучшие места для исследования Франкфурта находятся прямо на вашей улице

Вторник, 9 апреля 2024 г.Делиться

Авторы Майри Бьютиман и Флориан Зибек

Готовы к уличным рынкам еды, отличной культуре кафе и ведущим музеям мира? Добро пожаловать во Франкфурт . И нет, мы не примем его как второй город после Берлина и Мюнхена. Нет, сэр. 

Когда речь заходит о Германии , все дороги ведут во Франкфурт (нет, мы имеем это в виду буквально). Здесь находится крупнейшая в стране развязка автобанов, крупнейший аэропорт и очень загруженный железнодорожный вокзал. Франкфурт — вот где это находится. Вот лучшие развлечения в городе. 

РЕКОМЕНДУЕМ:
🍳 Лучшие места для завтрака во Франкфурте 
🌭 Лучшие рестораны во Франкфурте
🍻 Лучшие бары во Франкфурте
🛌 Лучшие Airbnb во Франкфурте

Это руководство было обновлено Флорианом Зибеком , писателем из Франкфурта. В Time Out все наши путеводители написаны местными писателями, которые знают свои города вдоль и поперек. Подробнее о том, как мы курируем, см. в наших редакционных правилах . 

Чем заняться во Франкфурте

1.  Museumsufer (Музейная набережная)

Museumsufer (Музейная набережная)

В 1980-х годах городские власти выступили с идеей бульвара музеев — и результаты были ошеломляющими. Вокруг Штеделя , музея изящных искусств с шедеврами, охватывающими семь столетий, появилось множество новых музеев, некоторые в перестроенных исторических виллах, другие в новых специально построенных зданиях. Сегодня на Музейной набережной (Museumsufer) размещаются некоторые из самых важных музеев Германии, начиная от прикладного искусства ( Museum Angewandte Kunst ) и архитектуры ( Deutsches Architekturmuseum ) до кино ( Deutsches Filmmuseum ), еврейской истории ( Jüdisches Museum ) и античной скульптуры ( Liebieghaus ). Менее известные жемчужины включают Этнологический музей ( Museum der Weltkulturen ) с историческими остатками давно минувших времен, музей «библейского опыта» или музей карикатуры для комического искусства.

Взгляните на город с другой стороны с Главной башни, первого высотного здания в Европе с фасадом, полностью выполненным из стекла. При высоте 200 метров это также четвертое по высоте здание в Германии и самая высокая точка обзора Франкфурта (и единственная, доступная для публики). Когда погода на вашей стороне, вы можете наслаждаться захватывающими панорамами со смотровой площадки на крыше и видеть холмы Таунус, Шпессарт и Фогельсберг, оживленный аэропорт Франкфурта и Commerzbank Arena.

Один из последних оставшихся остатков огромного Имперского леса Германии, Франкфуртский городской лес (Штадтвальд) простирается на более чем 5000 гектаров, что делает город одним из самых лесистых городских районов Германии. Всего в 15 минутах от центра он привлекает франкфуртцев своей 450-километровой сетью пешеходных, беговых и велосипедных маршрутов. В городе вы также найдете обширные парки Гюнтерсбургпарк и Грюнебургпарк: первый примыкает к Ботаническому саду (Пальменгартен), второй — в районе Норденд. Отправляйтесь в Грюнебургпарк летом, чтобы насладиться насыщенной программой театра и живой музыки.

Каждую вторую субботу на южном берегу Майна, усаженном деревьями, открывается Flohmarkt Schaumainkai, который многие считают лучшим блошиным рынком Франкфурта. Возьмите кофе или горячее яблочное вино и прогуляйтесь вниз по реке через оживленные прилавки, где вы найдете эклектичный ассортимент товаров, начиная от подержанных игрушек и заканчивая одеждой местного производства, подержанными велосипедами, поделками, антикварной мебелью и искусством, на фоне великолепного горизонта Франкфурта.

Многие европейские города потратили десятилетия на тщательную реконструкцию исторических зданий, разрушенных во время Первой и Второй мировых войн, но только Франкфурт удосужился воссоздать целый район таким, каким он был на рубеже прошлого века. Квартал Дом Рёмер — это «новый» старый город Франкфурта, простирающийся на 7000 квадратных метров между Соборной площадью и средневековым зданием Рёмер, которое было разрушено более чем на 90 процентов во время войн. Застройка открылась в мае 2018 года и включает в себя 20 новых зданий и 15 копий, включая общественный и конференц-центр Stadthaus. Ожидайте найти процветающие кафе, магазины и несколько приличных музеев.

Откройте для себя лучшее из франкфуртской культуры кафе на живописной верхней Бергерштрассе. По средам и субботам еженедельный фермерский рынок проводится около станции метро Bornheim Mitte, между старой часовой башней (Uhrtürmchen) и Заальбургштрассе. Пройдите его и направляйтесь на север, подальше от центра города, к десяткам ресторанов и баров, которые предлагают столики на улице при первых признаках весны в воздухе. Все фахверковые здания оригинальные и датируются 1600-ми годами. Когда садится солнце, улица освещается свечами и фонарями. Хотя Бергерштрассе является отличным местом для надежной немецкой еды, вы также можете попробовать  Spaghetti-Eis  — ванильное мороженое, выжатое в лапшу, похожую на спагетти, подаваемое с клубничным соусом — в одном из многочисленных близлежащих кафе-мороженых.

Если вы любите слушать новую музыку, то концертная серия Music Sneak в Kultur- und Kongresszentrum Jahrhunderthalle с впечатляюще длинным названием для вас. Идея основана на модели свидания вслепую, когда вы не знаете, что у вас есть, пока не появитесь. До 400 музыкальных фанатов собираются каждый месяц, а исполнители, стоящие за каждым из трех 30-минутных сетов, раскрываются только тогда, когда они выходят на сцену. Выступления охватывают жанры от авторско-исполнительского фолка до рока, панка, электроники и даже поэзии слэма.

Чтобы попробовать все региональные деликатесы, которые может предложить Гессен, в одном месте (и по дешевке), отправляйтесь на Erzeugermarkt Konstablerwache, крупнейший фермерский рынок земли. Вяленое мясо, сытный немецкий черный хлеб и ассорти сыров обеспечивают превосходные сэндвичи, и вы можете запить все это яблочным вином. Посвященный сохранению традиционных методов, рынок представляет собой прилавки более 50 фермерских хозяйств региона, и многие из ремесленных товаров являются органическими. Это также отличное место, чтобы попробовать  Grüne Soße  («зеленый соус», пикантная сметана, смешанная с травами). Чтобы оценить  Handkäse mit Musik  («ручной сыр с музыкой»), странно полупрозрачный сыр, покрытый сверху рубленым луком и тмином, вам придется преодолеть его (очень) резкий запах.

Кулинарная мечта ждет вас в Kleinmarkthalle площадью 1500 квадратных метров, где почти 160 рыночных прилавков предлагают местную еду, цветы и другие продукты. От вяленого мяса и вина до меда, сухофруктов, орехов, домашней пасты и сыра — здесь удовлетворят практически любые прихоти. Помимо региональных деликатесов, вы найдете импортные товары со всей Европы и не только. Не пропустите террасу, ломящуюся от цветочных ящиков на втором этаже — в небольшом семейном магазине подают вина, которые отлично сочетаются с едой, купленной внизу.

10.  English Theatre

Frankfurt’s opera house has a rich history, hosting many world premieres, including Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. The city’s current opera house, built in 1963, is located in the same building as the Schauspiel  Frankfurt  . And just a few steps away is the English Theatre , the largest English-language theatre in continental Europe. Auditions and first rehearsals take place in London and New York, as most of the actors come from abroad. Readings, exhibitions and music have made the theatre home to a large English-speaking community – after all, Frankfurt is the city with the largest expat population in Germany.

СуперКато

This tiny Japanese supermarket, which is increasingly popular with locals, offers top-notch sushi at surprisingly low prices. Build your own set or choose from the chef’s freshly made rolls of the day, stacked in wooden boxes behind a glass counter. While you wait, browse the shelves in the market section – it’s stocked with everything you need to make sushi at home, from wasabi paste to rare kitchen utensils. A few high tables are available inside and outside after hours, but space is limited, so if the weather is nice, it’s best to take your food out to the banks of the River Main.

  • Walks and excursions

Эббельвай-Экспресс

Beer? Sorry, not the most popular tipple in Frankfurt.  Apfelwein  (apple wine), a light and tart brew made from fermented apples, is the state drink, and you can combine it with a tour of the city’s top sights on the weird and wonderful Ebbelwei Express. Set to the thumping sounds of German drinking music, this vintage tram stops at 29 landmarks on a circular tour that lasts about an hour – yikes! Luckily, the ticket is valid for the entire day, so you can hop on and off as often as you like and take the tour at your own pace. Download the included podcast (there’s no guide on board) and you’ll get an overview of the monuments and sites along the way. A bottle of apple wine and a bag of pretzels are included in the ticket price.

Клуб Роберта-Джонсона

Don’t be fooled – this compact nightclub in the Offenbach district may have taken its name from legendary blues musician Robert Johnson, but techno and electronic music are the name of the game here. It’s a small, no-frills venue that has built its reputation on focusing on what really matters: the music. In fact, the sound system is considered one of the best in Europe by the international and local DJs who play here. The main room only seats about 100 people, and the DJ booth is on the same level as the dance floor, giving the space a very intimate feel. There’s also a terrace overlooking the River Main for when things get a bit too intense.

14.  Ride a bike

Eat away your calorie-laden German meals quickly by riding around the city on two wheels. Bikes cost no more than a few euros a day, and with a few clicks of the mouse and a credit card or Paypal account you’ll be on your way. In addition to integrated lanes throughout the city, the 50-mile GrünGürtel-Radweg (Green Corridor Cycle Route) loops around the city. For a shorter route, try the six-mile route around the Höchst industrial park.

1. Climb Main Tower

Cost: €9 per adult

So, you know how I love a cityscape? Well, this was a pretty good one! As one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, the Main Tower promises breathtaking views that stretch as far as the eye can see. 

The view from Main Tower in Frankfurt, Germany

Located in the heart of Frankfurt’s financial district, the Main Tower is 200 meters (656 feet) tall and the fourth tallest skyscraper in the city. However, it’s the only skyscraper with a public observation deck, providing you with a panoramic view of Frankfurt’s impressive skyline.

The observation deck is on the 56th floor and offers both indoor and outdoor viewing areas. You can see Romerberg, the Main River, and even aeroplanes coming in to land at the airport. You can also see further than the city to the gorgeous green spaces beyond the buildings. It’s definitely one of the best things to do in Frankfurt.

2. Explore Römerberg 

Cost: Free

This is arguably one of the most beautiful parts of the city. Located in the heart of Frankfurt’s historic Altstadt (Old Town), is a captivating square that exudes charm and nostalgia. Stepping onto Römerberg feels like stepping back in time. The square is surrounded by meticulously restored half-timbered houses that showcase the city’s rich architectural heritage. 

Romerberg is one of the best places to visit in Frankfurt

The centrepiece of Römerberg is the Römer, a magnificent medieval building complex that has served as Frankfurt’s city hall for over six centuries. It’s a striking building with ornate gables and intricate carvings and one of the best things to see in Frankfurt. Römerberg is also home to the Fountain of Justice, a gorgeous fountain with beautiful Renaissance-style sculptures. 

This historic square is not only a feast for the eyes but also a lively hub for festivals, markets, and events that celebrate Frankfurt’s cultural traditions. This was where the main Christmas Markets were held.

3. Visit Frankfurt Cathedral

Cost: Free but the cathedral museum has an entrance fee of €2

This architectural masterpiece holds immense historical and cultural significance in the city of Frankfurt. 

Frankfurth Cathedral is one of the best things to see in Frankfurt

Connecting the city’s historic centre with the Sachsenhausen district, the Eiserner Stag Bridge spans across the Main River. This iconic iron footbridge holds a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors alike.

Walking across the bridge, you can see breathtaking views of the river and the picturesque Frankfurt skyline. You can also see the distinctive gap between the old and new areas of the city, which, if I’m honest, is pretty cool!

The bridge is adorned with countless love locks, symbolizing the everlasting bonds and romantic connections made in this vibrant city. From the bridge, you can also catch a glimpse of the river cruise boats gliding along the Main.

5. See St Paul’s Church

Constructed in the early 19th century, the neoclassical architecture, with its prominent dome and terracotta-coloured walls stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of the German people.

6. Visit Senckenburg Natural History Museum

Cost: Free

I loved this museum and it’s possibly one of the most interesting Natural History Museums I’ve visited. Located in a majestic building, the museum is known for its extensive collection of exhibits that span millions of years of Earth’s history. Step inside, and you’ll encounter a captivating array of fossils, minerals, and, my personal favourite, giant dinosaur skeletons!

The history museum is one of the best things to do in Frankfurt

In fact, the highlight of the Senckenburg Natural History Museum is the awe-inspiring dinosaur hall. You’ll come face-to-face with life-sized dinosaur replicas and be able to learn about the prehistoric world they once roamed.

Whether you’re a science enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply curious about the natural world, a visit here is certainly one of the best things to do in Frankfurt.

7. Explore Old Sachsenhausen

Of course, in a city like Frankfurt, you have to see the old as well as the new. You’ve already climbed one of their newest skyscrapers, now it’s time to visit the old districts. 

Old pubs in Frankfurt

Old Sachsenhausen is a vibrant and charming district situated on the south side of the Main River. As you wander through the cobblestone streets, you’ll encounter quaint half-timbered houses, inviting beer gardens, and cosy restaurants.

Old Sachsenhausen is also a great nightlife hotspot, with live music venues, jazz clubs, and theatres that entertain late into the night. I wandered past plenty of old pubs and buildings where you could definitely get a drink (or 5!) and I suspect the atmosphere would be amazing in summer,

8. Explore Hauptwache

Cost: Free

Hauptwache is a prominent square in the heart of Frankfurt. It serves as a central meeting point and a bustling hub of activity. Named after the former Baroque building, Hauptwache is a dynamic and vibrant location that seamlessly blends history with modernity. 

The square is adorned with architectural gems, including the iconic Hauptwache building itself, which now functions as a café and a police station. Surrounded by bustling streets and bustling shops, Hauptwache offers a mix of high-end boutiques, department stores, and enticing eateries.

With its distinctive octagonal shape and towering height, Eschenheimer Turm stands as a proud landmark and offers a glimpse into Frankfurt’s medieval past. It’a also one of the largest late-Gothic gate towers in the country.

14. Visit Frankfurt Zoo

I don’t usually include a zoo on my to-do list when visiting a new city. But if you’re visiting Frankfurt with children, this is definitely a great place to go. Spanning over 11 hectares, this historic zoo is home to a diverse array of animal species from around the world. 

You’ll have the opportunity to encounter majestic big cats, playful primates, fascinating reptiles, and a multitude of other creatures. The zoo’s commitment to animal welfare and conservation is evident, with spacious enclosures that aim to replicate natural habitats and provide a comfortable environment for the animals.

15. Relax in Grüneburgpark

Cost: Free

If you fancy a break from the bustling city centre, this beautiful green space is a great place to find it. It spans over 29 hectares, with beautifully manicured lawns, flowerbeds, and trees that create the perfect environment for some relaxation.

You could go for a stroll, (or go for a run if you are the active type), relax under the shade of a tree with a tasty picnic, or go exploring on the paths range of winding footpaths. You might come across the charming rose garden, tranquil pond, or one of the many sculptures scattered amongst the trees.

16. Wander the Christmas Markets

Cost: Free (but you will 100% buy things)

Last but not least, I know this is completely seasonal, but I just couldn’t write a blog about the best things to do in Frankfurt without mentioning the Christmas Markets. They are some of the best in Germany and easily one of the most wonderful things to do in this city.

The markets transform some of Frankfurt’s most popular spots (I’m looking at you, Romerberg), into a festive winter paradise. You’ll find log cabin stalls full of delightful German cuisine, steaming mugs of gluhwein, hot cider, hot chocolate, hundreds of sweet pretzels, heart-shaped gingerbread cookies on sticks, and so much more.

It’s a great place to immerse yourself in a world of twinkling lights and fragrant aromas. I highly recommend visiting the Christmas Markets in Frankfurt if you’re visiting the city in winter. Although, you may not be able to miss them if you want to see all of the other things on this list!
