Höchster Porzellan Manufaktur
Don't miss the nearby historic old town where this fascinating factory is located. It dates from the 8th century, so lots more to see and do after the visit.
Hessen’s main city is not only a globally important destination for commerce and business but an important international travel intersection. There are some historic and culturally-enriching sightseeing opportunities behind its sleek and professional facade, as well as some surprising spots for nature lovers. Six of the best — take your pick!
Palmengarten
Paddle boats, palm trees and fish ponds—there's something for everyone in this impressive botanic garden. Good for a visit all year round.
Römerberg
Cobblestones, lovely frame houses and the Old Nikolai Church: you might think you just walked into a Grimms’ fairy tale in this picturesque 9th-century square.
Museum für Moderne Kunst
Quite frankly one of Germany's best art museums, with MMK1 a definite must for its art works and architecture. An essential view of modern world creativity.
Chinesischer Garten
Serenity and tranquillity reign in this pretty setting where you can nip away from the hustle of Frankfurt's business district.
Goethe Haus
The birthplace of Germany’s most celebrated and famous author, and the family home where he grew up with his sister, the Goethehaus is now part of the Goethe Museum, situated next door. The house has been fully restored to its original condition following damage during World War Two air raids, and now provides a fascinating glimpse into the early life of this titan of German literature. Open Monday to Saturday 10am to 6pm, and Sunday 10am to 5:30pm.
