Itineraries
Frankfurt travel planner
However much time you have in Frankfurt, the city center works in your favor: the Römerberg, the Imperial Cathedral, the Main Tower and the museum row on the south bank all sit within about a 30-minute walk of one another. That makes even a half day worth planning properly.
Pick the route that matches your trip. Each one runs hour by hour, names the neighborhood every stop sits in and links through to the full guide for that quarter.

The neighborhood you book decides how much of any of these routes you can walk. The Old Town puts the landmarks on your doorstep, Sachsenhausen puts the museums and the apple-wine taverns on yours, and the airport district exists for anyone flying out early.
