Tour Details

At the indicated time, we’ll meet in central Frankfurt, ready to discover a city where medieval alleyways and glass skyscrapers share the same skyline.

This private tour is designed to showcase Frankfurt’s many contrasts. Alongside the historic old town, you may also explore the modern and financial side of the city, depending on the route chosen for the day. The result is a flexible experience that adapts to highlight both tradition and innovation.

We’ll dive into the heart of the Altstadt, strolling through the iconic Römerberg, one of Germany’s most picturesque squares. Here, we’ll admire the historic City Hall, known as the Römer, the charming half-timbered houses, the Fountain of Justice, and St. Nicholas Church, a medieval gem that adds to the fairytale atmosphere of the square.

Nearby, we’ll discover Frankfurt Cathedral, also known as Kaiserdom, whose Gothic tower once witnessed the coronation of emperors. We may also follow the historic Coronation Road and walk through the reconstructed New Old Town, rebuilt to reflect its pre-war appearance.

As we continue, we’ll cross one of the city’s historic bridges over the River Main, enjoying views of the skyline and the museum embankment. From here, the contrast between old Frankfurt and its modern financial district becomes unmistakable.

Depending on the route, we may also explore Frankfurt’s modern and financial center. This area is home to striking skyscrapers and key institutions such as the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, as well as landmarks like the elegant Alte Oper, the lively shopping street Zeil, and the medieval Eschenheimer Turm, one of the last remaining city towers.

We may also pass through vibrant squares such as Hauptwache or Konstablerwache, admire historic churches linked to key moments in German democracy, and hear about famous figures connected to the city, including Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Throughout the tour, your guide will tailor the walk to provide a well-rounded overview of Frankfurt’s evolution, from imperial coronations and reconstructed quarters to global finance and contemporary architecture.

After 1.5 to 2.5 hours, we’ll conclude this private tour, having explored the many faces of Frankfurt.
