The observation platform of Emperors’ Cathedral "St. Bartholomäus", situated at a height of 66 metres, offers breathtaking views of urban Frankfurt from a truly unique location. It is open from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm!

"Un es will merr net in mein Kopp enei: Wie kann nor e Mensch net von Frankfort sei!“ ("It won’t go into my head how a person can’t be from Frankfurt!”) - these famous words were spoken by none other than Friedrich Stoltze, one of Frankfurt’s favourite sons. A brand-new museum dedicated to the popular satirist and dialect poet is open to visitors every day from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.

“Stadthaus am Markt”, a new meeting and conference centre located in the heart of the new old town, impresses with its blend of modern furnishings, unusual architecture and historical charm. Built above the structural remnants of an imperial palace, the “Kaiserpfalz Franconofurd”, it is well suited for functions of up to 150 persons, being available for hire for events of most every variety.

Has it been a while since your last museum visit? Not a problem! Kunsthalle Schirn is currently presenting an exhibition on John M Armleder and his XXL installations until 01 September. From 19 June onwards, the Schirn will be showing a further exhibition, entitled “Big Orchestra”, which features artworks that also work as musical instruments. This exhibition will run until 08 September.

By now, you’ve probably heard quite a bit about the world’s “newest” old town, but have you actually been there? The Frankfurt Tourist+Congress Board offers guided walking tours, for example "Frankfurt Highlights and the New Old Town", that present the most important sights while offering interesting background information on Frankfurt’s newest urban quarter.

Feeling hungry in Frankfurt’s new old town? Why not enjoy a meal at the rustic tavern, “Wirtshaus am Hühnermarkt”, or at the Frankfurt day-bar, “Anno 1881”? At the nearby “Balthasar Ress Weinbar & Vinothek”, you may sample fine wines, while the local Roasting House “Hoppenworth & Ploch” will soon open a new coffeehouse. “Badias Café” at Kunsthalle Schirn, meanwhile, has been attracting museum visitors and other guests for many years; this summer, the café will have an outdoor area in front of the art hall, open in good weather conditions from Tuesday to Thursday from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm.
