Frankfurt City Guide - Skyscrapers - museums - Sachsenhausen

Skyscrapers housing major financial institutions dominate the scene in the central business district. The Westend is both a residential and business district. Nearby, the Marktplatz (former Market Square), Römer (City Hall), the Kaiserdom (Emperor Cathedral), Paulskirche (Church of St Paul) and the Nikolaikirche (Nicholas Church) are among the attractions of the Altstadt (Old Town). The Bahnhofsviertel (around the main railway station), especially Kaiserstrasse, is the city's red light district, although the ubiquitous seediness has developed into a popular and lively entertainment scene.

Fourteen museums make up the longest mile of museums in Europe - the Museumsufer (Museum Embankment) on the southern bank of the Main, reached on foot via Eiserner Steg. Most of Frankfurt's museums are closed on Monday and open until 2000 on Wednesday.

Sachsenhausen, the oldest district in Frankfurt, lies on the south side of the river, and is one of the traditional entertainment areas with bars, clubs and restaurants housed in traditional buildings. The best views of the city can be gained from the observation platform of the Main Tower. Students and artists contribute to the bohemian atmosphere of the Nordend around Eschenheimer Tor.
