Frankfurt on foot

Discover the most beautiful sights on foot

6. Updated and expanded new edition

Driving through Frankfurt by car can quickly become a real horror. The search for a parking space, road works, traffic jams - all this quickly spoils the desire to discover Frankfurt by car. Other means of transport are also only a real alternative to a limited extent, as the hectic pace of city traffic can be too much of a burden both on a bicycle and on public transport. Is exploring the city still fun? But there is a real alternative that allows not only tourists but also interested Frankfurtians to explore the city in all its facets. And this alternative is called: "Frankfurt on foot".

The book by Kristiane Müller-Urban and Eberhard Urban takes the reader on various walks through the city, where history, culture, nature, nightlife and, of course, the various shopping opportunities can be discovered. Enriched with helpful information such as connections to the underground and S-Bahn, leisure activities for children, opening hours and admission prices, and accompanied by numerous photographs, the authors not only take the reader to well-known places such as the Kleinmarkthalle, the Alte Oper or the Schirn, but also introduces corners that are not found in every city guide.

In eleven chapters, readers are offered theme-specific tours, from "Culture for All" along the Museum Embankment to "Honoring the Redeemer" to churches and monasteries to "The Despised Alley", a look at Jewish Frankfurt today and in the past. One can embark on a journey through sinful Frankfurt, explore the GrünGürtel, or stroll through Sachsenhausen. New to this edition are the chapters on the DomRömer quarter, which will shape the image of Frankfurt's new old town in 2017, on Frankfurt's main cemetery and - in time for its 100th birthday - on Goethe University. In addition, all information has been updated and supplemented. In total, this edition has been expanded by forty pages, which thoroughly justifies a new purchase even for those readers who already own an earlier edition.

Because "Frankfurt zu Fuß" now offers even more beautiful suggestions for exciting city walks, presented in an appealing, compact and clear manner. A city guide of a different kind that makes you want to leave your car and bicycle behind and explore Frankfurt on foot. You will notice: if you take the time and walk the tours of the book with open eyes, you will discover sides of the city that will offer new and surprising things even to many long-established Frankfurt residents.
