Frankfurt am Main is not only represented by huge buildings or banks. The old center of town is quite well preserved. And, although it is not as interesting as the artificial magic of modern buildings, it still preserves the feel of German towns since the time when Frankfurt was only a fair. People are calm and disciplined during the week, but merry and loud on Fridays and Saturdays.

Therefore, Romerberg market (where city hall lies) and Cathedral of St. Bartholomew are definitely places that you need to see, because they represent the spirit of the old Frankfurt. If you have time for a walk, you really need to go down along the Main to admire the view from the bridges.

From the first moment you step in Frankfurt am Main you have the feeling that you are in a very well conceived place. Even if you drive in the middle of the day, you won’t see queues at the traffic lights and you will always find a free place to park your car. On the sidewalk you won’t knock into hurry and nervous people.

In fact, it is amazing how in the economic capital of Germany, a city whose airport hosts 50 million people annually, almost as many as Heathrow, live only 700 thousand people. This people really enjoy space and silence, in one of the most imposing cities of Europe.
