Stumbled upon this place during our unexpected layover in Frankfort. This love lock bridge was…read morebeautiful, overlooking the river. A lot of pedestrians were using it for commuting purposes, we were seemingly the only tourists taking pictures. Luckily it wasn't crowded but I see online it can be. I didn't know about it so we didn't have a lock to leave, but it was beautiful to see this tribute to worldwide love.

We have pretty much all heard of the love lock bridge in Paris. Who knew that Frankfurt had its own…read moreversion?! I learned about Eiserner Steg, a.k.a Iron Bridge a.k.a "Love Lock Bridge" while doing some research on the city prior to my trip. It's one of the top attractions in Frankfurt listed on TripAdvisor. Located close to the heart of Frankfurt, here are some tips for checking out the bridge. If you're visiting at a peak hour, expect for there to be a crowd. You'll have people walking around checking out all of the love locks, taking pictures, or walking by. As always, when in a crowded area, be aware of your belongings. Bring your own lock inscribed with the initials of you and your significant other or write your initials on the lock. This is going to be a lot more affordable than purchasing a lock last minute (there are typically vendors selling locks in the area). Part of the fun is finding a spot for your lock, among the endless sea of love locks there. It's a cool experience, and a romantic one at that. While not as famous as the bridge in Paris, and while I haven't been, I would venture to say it's a similar experience. There's even another love lock bridge in Cologne.

Worth the visit, not to see the temple per say, but to see the view of the city and enjoy the park…read more While there is a restaurant, I saw some locals with a very smal barbeque grill having a picnic - Great idea. Just grab some stuff from the grocery store before you go and don't forget champagne and plastic cups which makes anyplace special. If you have walked here or taken the nerobergbahn, you will see a few taxis to take to the bottom of the mountain or ask the restaurant to call a taxi for you. Better yet, do as I did and walk to the bottom - it didn't take long at all and the area real estate is nice to see.

Eh. The actual tempel was kind of a letdown, and needed a fresh coat of paint. Do go here however,…read morebecause the park as a whole is worth it.

Whenever visiting a city for the first time, if there's an observation deck, I think it's a…read morefantastic way to begin to explore your surroundings. Seeing a city from a helicopter-level view puts the whole city into perspective. So we did just that upon arriving at Frankfurt. Located in the financial district of Frankfurt, finding this large skyscraper was a little confusing but we realized we were at the right place when we saw a small line outside. Depending on the time of day you visit, and whether it's a weekend, you may have to wait a little while. The line went by fast for us. Once you get inside, and you pay a reasonable fee (less than 10 euros), you'll take an elevator to the top to reach the observation deck. Take a couple of pics, enjoy the views, and you'll be on your way. It's a quick attraction that you can get out of the way in 30 minutes or so unless there's a long line. Main Tower is the third most popular attraction in Frankfurt according to TripAdvisor. And the 4th tallest building in Germany. Enjoy the views!

The Frankfurt main tower is no exception with some great views and an overly slow security and ticket process which you should allow extra time for. There are bathrooms up top and people are all friendly and willing to help take photos.

The town of Oberursel, 15 minutes north of Frankfurt, has a delightful old town, with narrow…read morecobbled streets full of half-timbered houses, which climb to the delightful old church of St Ursula. Although there aren't many special 'sights', it nevertheless evokes images of exactly what an old German town should look like, (ie lots of half-timbered buildings with steep roofs) and is a delightful place to wander. The buildings date from the 16th century onwards, although most are 18th or early 19th century in origin. Look out for the Wenczel Welker, the former carding mill, which dates back to the 15th century. There's a small market on Saturdays, as well as a number of enticing hostelries around the edges, including the Alt-Oberursuler Brauhaus, which brews its own beers (see separate entry). The town, on the edge of the Hochtaunus hills, is easily reached from Frankfurt on either the S-bahn suburban railway to Bad Homburg (line S5) or via the U3 underground line.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to rate a skyscraper, but since I worked there for five years I…read moreguess I should chime in. OUr office was on the 35th, just about in the middle. Even at that height the views are fairly spectacular. I went to work there three months after 9/11 so it was a bit, er, unsettling at first. Anyway, it's got 65 floors in total, looks like a giant dick on the skyline, and is not the best part of town to work in as there's not much in the way of eateries nearby. Contrary to what one of our German reviewers said, you can open the windows. A few years back a night watchman did so by throwing an office chair through one. He then jumped out from the 40th and landed on the top of the base structure which is more or less the first three floors high so that he at least didn't land where everyone would see what was left of him. So yeah, with determination you can open those windows. I give it three stars for no particular reason.

I wanted my husband to see it, because when you think of Germany, you think of the buildings in this place! It was bombed to almost nothing during WW2, but the reconstruction to it's former glory is spot on! In 1992, I was here for an Apfelweinfest, and my recent visit was just to see it again and people watch (did not disappoint!). There is always something going on here, so it is definitely a place to check out. Stop by one of the many vendors in the area and grab a drink and a seat and relax by watching any number of street performers! 13/2021
