No visit to Frankfurt is complete without exploring the history of this beautiful place. Römerberg Square is the old town centre of Frankfurt, where you will find historic half-timbered houses, as well as modern shops and cafes. Walk through the Archeological Gardens where diggings from 1953 uncovered part of a Roman settlement, as well as the foundations of a Carolingian chapel.
The Römer is Frankfurt's town hall and one of the city's most important buildings. The 'Kaisersaal' or Emperor's Hall is in the centre of the complex was where decadent coronation feasts, sometimes with Napoleon and Russian Czars attending, were once held. Look up and you can't miss the beautiful 95-metre gothic tower of the Frankfurt Cathedral, a stunning feature of the city's skyline. Climb up the tower for a breathtaking vista of the city.
The Jewish Holocaust Museum and the book-burning memorial are sombre reminders of Germany's more recent past, while the 'Stolpersteine' or stumbling stones, scattered throughout the city provide a concrete reminder of the horrors inflicted by the Nazi regime.
