Things to Do in Frankfurt am Main
Explore Frankfurt’s hidden gems, historic sites, and scenic landscapes on this segway tour. It'll be a fun and unique way to discover every corner of the city!
I am a lover of Frankfurt, a city with all its facets and hidden gems. Frankfurt has much more to offer than its reputation as a banking city precedes it.
Through the donation-based tour, I want to allow everyone to experience this city in different ways, regardless of the size of their wallet.
In addition to the city's extensive cultural history, I would also like to shed light on the various factors that have shaped Frankfurt on a social, economic and political level.
Each of us has our own point of view and our own experiences with the city, these flow into the tours, so each tour is an individual experience.
I want you to LIVE Frankfurt and I want to offer you a good time in an entertaining way, during which you will learn a lot about Frankfurt and see my city with different eyes.

Welcome to Frankfurt's Old Town!
Frankfurt is a fascinating city. There are contrasts here that you can rarely experience in such compactness in such a small space in other cities. It is a diverse, tolerant and cosmopolitan city with everything that goes with it.
Frankfurt was a center of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. This is where the German emperors were elected and crowned. It is also the city where the first German parliament met, the cradle of German democracy.
Immerse yourself in the history of this fascinating city and follow in the footsteps of emperors, poets, thinkers, saints and democrats.
Below are some of the highlights we will visit on our tour:
- Römerberg
- Imperial Hall
- New old town
- Chicken market
- House at Golden Scales
- Imperial Cathedral of St. Bartholomew
- Hall Alley
- House Werthym
- Iron Bridge
- Paul's Church
I look forward to seeing you and hope you enjoy the tour.
Best regards

WELCOME TO FRANKFURT!
Frankfurt is a unique, complicated and often overlooked city and therefore it takes a unique tour to truly understand the city.
On the guided visit we look up at modern skyscrapers and travel through time viewing the "medieval" old town. We talk about the different cultural influences that make our city so colorful and how they affect society.
We learn how Frankfurt connects and changes the world, from Germany's largest airport to the European Central Bank, but also how this city has always been a center for literature, from Goethe and the annual book fair to Frankfurt as the center of German hip-hop.
This tour is for those who want a fun walk through all the best places in Frankfurt, while learning about the city’s immense history in an amusing and memorable way!
All the main tourist destinations are visited on this tour, but also our personal insider tips that are often forgotten. These include, among others:
- The Old Opera House
- "The Food Alley"
- The Goethe House
- St. Paul's Church
- The Old Town
- The Love Bridge
Thank you for your interest in our tour and we look forward to showing you around soon!

Wir sind (hauptsächlich) eine Gruppe von Studierenden, die Frankfurt lieben, eine Stadt mit all ihren Facetten und verborgenen Schätzen. Frankfurt hat so viel mehr zu bieten, als ihr Ruf als Bänkerstadt ihr vorauseilt.
Durch unsere spendenbasierten Touren wollen wir allen Menschen ermöglichen unsere Stadt auf unterschiedlichste Weise kennenzulernen, unabhängig der Größe des Geldbeutels.
Sachsenhausen is one of the most charming neighborhoods in Frankfurt. We will tour its picturesque streets in this free tour in Spanish.
At the indicated time, we will meet at the meeting point to begin the free tour.
From there we will take a walk to the Eiserner Steg bridge. On the other bank of the Main River, Sachsenhausen awaits us: one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Frankfurt. We will stop in front of the Städel Museum, an artistic reference in the region. After learning about its origins, we will contemplate the Gothic architecture of the Dreikönigskirche church.
We will continue the free tour in front of the oldest house in Frankfurt. When would you say it was built? The next stop will be Brückenstrasse, the most famous street in Sachsenhausen. Their windows will catch your attention!
Next we will stop along the way so that those who wish can have an Apfelwein on their own. This popular apple wine is part of Frankfurt's culinary identity. We will explain some of their gastronomic customs! Then we'll set our sights on the Kuhhirten Tower, which has a legendary past.
After a break due to medical reasons, I am back with doing regular tours 🙂 Hello and welcome to Frankfurt, a city whose modern and snazzy skyline almost casts a shadow upon all the other heritage beneath it.
We will begin our tour in the green belt opposite the Alte Oper, and head towards the Innenstadt leaving behind the modern banking district.
As we walk into the inner ring of the fort of medieval Frankfurt at Hauptwache, we will drop by the city's Börse or stock exchange that attracts finance professionals. We then resume our tour walking across the Zeil, Frankfurt's main shopping street, and one of the busiest shopping streets in Europe, where you can observe a mix of historic and modern buildings. Another stop along the way is the famed Kleinmarkthalle or market hall with tips for the foodies. a Stick around and listen carefully as I share how Frankfurt's medieval and political history as a german city is somewhat unique when compared to the others that you may have visited.
Learn some fun facts about the city's 'new' old city or Neue Altstadt at the Römerberg, adjacent to the city hall Römer.
Last but not the least, we'll make our last stop on our way to the Eiserner Steg Bridge, a popular Frankfurt landmark that offers panoramic views of the Main River and the city skyline where we will end our tour with suggestions for a frankfurter favourite and special - Apfelwein.
