When to go to Frankfurt?
Half-timbered gables around the Römerberg face Frankfurt's banking towers a few streets away, and that contrast is the whole character of the place. Goethe's birthplace has been furnished as it was in the 18th century, room by room. The Städel runs from old masters to contemporary painting along the Main, whose banks are parkland for most of their length.
