Overview

If you like the nooks and crannies of an old town, then this self-guided audio tour is for you. You’ll take a step back into a distant past nestled within this bustling modern metropolis, and meet emperors, merchants, and even the aunt of an author! Along the way, you’ll discover why Frankfurt had to rebuild a lot of its old town, visit a reconstructed medieval courtyard, and find your way to Roman and Carolingian ruins.

The tour also points out places that are free to visit and will keep you dry if it’s a rainy day! As well as places to stop for a quick nibble or a glass of wine.

The landmarks include:

• The stunning architecture of the old Hühnermarkt
• A Renaissance house that cost 8 million Euros
• St Paul's Church, the “cradle of German democracy”
• Hidden post-modernist houses

Let’s take a stroll into the heart of the old town together and look into all its corners and see what we find behind its facades.
