Normally free walking tours take 1 to 2 hours, while the guide walks you through the city explaining and exploring the main attractions. At the end of the tour, you can (should) offer a tip in a sign\u00a0of gratitude\u00a0for the visit.

In the past Frankfurt had the largest medieval city center in Germany but with World War II\u00a0 the city was almost completely destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>The houses in Romerberg square and the Romer are all replicas\u00a0of the originals that were rebuilt in 1980. So the Romerberg square is just a sample of how the city was. A few other landmark buildings were reconstructed like Saint Paul Cathedral and Goethe house. The rest of the city was reconstructed in a modern style.<\/p>\n<p>One of the buildings that weren\u2019t destroyed was the train station in the city center, which is quite beautiful and a reminder of Frankfurt\u2019s past.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Romerberg-Square-and-Romer-Frankfurt.jpg\" alt=\"Top attractions of Frankfurt\" class=\"wp-image-8063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Romerberg-Square-and-Romer-Frankfurt.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Romerberg-Square-and-Romer-Frankfurt-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Romerberg-Square-and-Romer-Frankfurt-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Romerberg-Square-and-Romer-Frankfurt-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Romerberg-Square-and-Romer-Frankfurt-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Romerberg-Square-and-Romer-Frankfurt-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-8063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Romerberg-Square-and-Romer-Frankfurt.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Romerberg-Square-and-Romer-Frankfurt.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Romerberg-Square-and-Romer-Frankfurt-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Romerberg-Square-and-Romer-Frankfurt-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Romerberg-Square-and-Romer-Frankfurt-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Romerberg-Square-and-Romer-Frankfurt-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Romerberg-Square-and-Romer-Frankfurt-520x347.jpg 520w\" alt=\"Top attractions of Frankfurt\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kaiserdom_Frankfurt_Cathedral\"><\/span><span id=\"Kaiserdom_Frankfurt_Cathedral\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Kaiserdom Frankfurt Cathedral<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Kaiserdom\u00a0or the Imperial Cathedral of Saint Bartholomew is the main church of Frankfurt, but today\u2019s church is a reconstruction made in the 1950s.

And when we say between, we really mean it is on the other side of the street of the financial district. On one side you have shiny, high rise buildings and on the other side, you have the brothels, sex shops and so on. Some people could argue it fits just well\u2026<\/p>\n<p>In the past, this was a dangerous district, and people were afraid to cross it to go to the city center and\u00a0financial district. It\u2019s said that one of the reasons that Frankfurt built the subway, was so people could avoid this part of the city. Nowadays it is pacific, there are no robberies and there are plenty of hostels for tourists. In fact, we slept in a hotel that was inside the red-light district in Frankfurt.<\/p>\n<p>Note that prostitution is legal in Germany.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_in_Frankfurt_in_Winter\"><\/span><span id=\"Where_to_stay_in_Frankfurt_in_Winter\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Where to stay in Frankfurt in Winter?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Budget-friendly_hotel\"><\/span><span id=\"Budgetfriendly_hotel\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Budget-friendly hotel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We stayed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/de\/rossija.en.html?aid=1938801&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Hotel Rossija<\/a>, which was pleasant, clean and cheap, plus it served a good breakfast.
