Frankfurt Tourism

Frankfurt is located in central Germany. This city boasts of almost two thousand years of history. In ancient times, Frankfurt was occupied by the Romans. The traces of Holy Roman Empire such as old coins and other artifacts are still found in the outlying areas of this city. However this city is not only about historical places and artifacts. Though Frankfurt, after the German capital Berlin, during the Second World War was hit hardest by the allied bombings; the city now is one of the finest in Europe. The city is now home to the European Central Bank and is therefore rightly regarded as the financial powerhouse of Europe. Home to other multinational companies and banks; Frankfurt swarms with business travelers. However opera house, town hall, museums and other Frankfurt tourist attractions bring vacation seekers to this German city. Tourism in Frankfurt is thus developed and there is so much to see in this city.

Saint Bartholomeus' Cathedral building was built in the 15th century. Designed in Gothic style and with a height of 95 meter, the cathedral was the place where Holy Roman Emperors used to be coroneted in the 16th century. Though the original building was destroyed by fire in 1867; the cathedral was rebuilt keeping the old style intact.

Town hall is a major tourist catcher in Berlin. The city council in 1405 bought a total of 9 buildings from a wealthy businessman. The middle building was then converted to the town hall. This building served as the venue where the newly coroneted Roman Kings used to hold banquets.

Designed by Richard Lucae, Alte Oper was built in 1880. Though the original building was destroyed by allied bombing in the Second World War, Alte Oper was rebuilt again in 1981. at present concerts are held here. Another sightseeing place in Frankfurt tourism is Frankfurt Opera.
