FRANKFURT

After breakfast, meet your local private guide for a half-day walking tour of Frankfurt. At first glance, the city impresses visitors with its modern skyscrapers, but a closer look reveals a charming and pleasant atmosphere. Enjoy a walk through the beautifully restored Römerberg, along the shore of the Main River, past the city’s museums, the quaint “Fressgass” alley, the Old Opera, and the elegant Goethestraße. Other highlights include the former residence of Goethe and Paulskirche. End the tour with wonderful city views from the Hauptwache.

This afternoon, explore Frankfurt’s Christmas Market on your own. Be prepared to discover the magical atmosphere of one of the oldest Christmas markets in Germany, dating back to 1393. Today, the market attracts more than three million visitors from all over the world, stretching from the main train station throughout the town. The real heart of the market is the Römerberg in the center of the Old Town. Get into the festive spirit with a ride on the impressive baroque carousel, listen to Christmas carols and church bells, breathe in the aroma of roasted chestnuts, and try Bethmännchen—traditional marzipan and almond cookies—along with a sizzling sausage and a cup of spicy mulled wine. From food and drink to handcrafted toys, tree decorations, candles, and lights, Frankfurt’s Christmas stalls offer something for everyone.
