Frankfurt on Foot

Visit Restored Medieval Center and View the City’s Modern Facades Set out on a scenic stroll to explore Frankfurt’s highlights, from its medieval quarter to the city’s main square. From the pier, follow your guide on a walk through the bustling city of Frankfurt to the restored medieval district, which faced heavy bombing during World War II. As you wander through this historic center, admire the careful restoration of its beautiful half-timbered houses and learn about its past as one of the most important towns during the Holy Roman Empire, including its role as a site of coronations. Pass St. Paul’s Church and see the Goethe Haus, a writer’s house museum and birthplace of Germany’s most celebrated poet and author, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Cap your tour with a stop at Römerberg, the city’s main square to view the impressive town hall and its half-timbered buildings, before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
