Puede que sea el centro financiero de Europa, pero eso no significa que estará pegado a su computadora portátil durante un viaje a Frankfurt, una ciudad rica en historia, cultura y arquitectura impresionante. Con un espectacular telón de fondo de rascacielos, un recorrido por Frankfurt revela una fascinante mezcla de lo antiguo y lo nuevo. La Catedral de San Bartolomé, el Ayuntamiento de Romer y la Antigua Ópera ejemplifican el estilo de construcción clásico; mientras que el complejo Squaire, el centro comercial MyZeil y el flamante Seat del Banco Central Europeo muestran la vanguardia de la arquitectura. El otro atractivo principal de Frankfurt es su proximidad a algunos de los destinos más atractivos de Alemania. Definitivamente querrá tomar un crucero por el valle del Rin, asegurarse de probar los vinos de la región y visitar la pintoresca Heidelberg con su casco histórico y su castillo. Más al sur, en el límite de la Selva Negra, date un refrescante chapuzón en una de las aguas termales de Baden-Baden; o vaya hasta la frontera francesa para visitar la encantadora Estrasburgo. Al oeste, el castillo de Eltz, digno de un cuento de hadas, aguarda; mientras que al este, hacia Munich, encontrará la ciudad rica en historia de Nuremberg. Cuando regrese de su aventura, pase su última noche en Frankfurt observando su legendaria escena de música electrónica.
Summer is the liveliest time to visit Frankfurt, when urban beaches spring up along the Main River and events include the Apple Wine Festival, Museum Embankment Festival, and the Main Festival. Alternatively, Frankfurt is bursting with holiday spirit over the festive season, hosting one of Germany’s largest Christmas markets.
As the headquarters for the Central European Bank, Frankfurt is well-known as Germany’s business and finance hub. But for tourists, it’s most famous for towering skyscrapers, fantastic museums and architecture—and its beloved sausages.
...MásVisit Römerberg in Old Town, a square with half-timbered houses and a gabled Town Hall. Scope out water views from Eiserner Steg bridge, or stop at a museum (try Städel Museum) near River Main at Frankfurt’s Museumsufer. St. Paul’s Church, the Kleinmarkthalle, and the Goethe House are popular too.
...MásJohann Wolfgang von Goethe was born in Hamburg in 1749. You can visit the three-story bourgeois-style home of his birth—and the desk where he penned Faust—and get a taste for how the gentry of the day lived. Next door, visit the Goethe Museum for a deeper look at his literary legacy.
...MásFrankfurt’s incredible museums are usually open 10am–6pm on Sundays. Otherwise, grab a glass of apfelwein (apple wine), Frankfurt’s most famous drink, along the cobblestone streets of the Sachsenhausen neighborhood; walk around the Financial District, and peer from the public viewing platforms at the top of the 56-story Main Tower.
...MásOn Sundays, tour Old Town; climb up 324 steps to the top of the Frankfurt Cathedral (dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries); wander the Kleinmarkthalle stalls; or book a free tour of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. City museums are free on the last Saturday of the month, too
...MásYes. Frankfurt’s status as both modern—the city’s business district is nicknamed “Mainhattan,” a silver-clad skyline on the River Main—and medieval is not to be missed. There’s an array of museums, cultural attractions, and historical sites to keep discerning travelers busy.
