For all art lovers, Frankfurt offers a museum scene that can rarely be found anywhere. There is also a metro art space in Frankfurt, and works that combine art, architecture, and design can be seen at the Dom/Römer station.
Take a walk along the south part of the River Main and visit the heart of the Frankfurt Museum scene - an art institute that is one of the most important art museums in Germany and represents masterpieces of European art from nine centuries.
Inspired by art history, visit the City Gallery, the Film Museum, and the Museum of Architecture for every recommendation. The art crafts, which are 1,000 years old, are presented in the Museum of Applied Arts MAK - an impressive building by the American architect Richard Meier.
The traditional drink for which Frankfurt and its surroundings are famous, often called the national drink of the state of Hesse - apple wine - is traditionally served in blue ceramic jugs called Bembel, and is available in many pubs and bars in Frankfurt.
When visiting Frankfurt, in addition to this traditional drink, you should also try the culinary specialties for which this city is known: Frankfurt hot dogs - known in the world as Frankfurter, have been served exclusively in pairs since the 13th century, with mustard, black bread or potato salad.
Don't miss the inevitable coffee candy, which has not been missing in any Frankfurt cafe since 1735 - the famous "Royal Cake - Frankfurt Wreath" - symbolizes the crown with its shape and is a symbol of Frankfurt.
