Nowadays, there are only three gates left. It is a great gate to see, especially when you know the history of the building.

Furthermore, the ground floor of the building is now a restaurant, which is a great experience you can have when you are going here.

7. See the skyline

Frankfurt has many skyscrapers, actually, it is one of the cities with the most in Europe.

These skyscrapers form a beautiful skyline that you can see from various parts of the city. If you like architecture, this is amazing.

8. Stroll through the old town

The old town of Frankfurt is actually not really the old town of Frankfurt.

During World War 2 almost everything was destroyed when the city was bombed by allied forces.

After that time, the old town was rebuilt in exactly the same style as before. Therefore, you can still really experience how it would have looked like.
