Local Tips from the travel experts

Handpicked tips from top-rated activities in Frankfurt to help you make the most of your visit.

"Arrive 20–30 minutes before sunset to secure outdoor terrace seats and watch the light shift over the skyline.Ask the bartender for a signature cocktail and snap a skyline photo from the terrace; quieter benches on the east side are more private.Elevator queues can form — factor waiting time into your reservation plan and bring a light wrap as the breeze can be cool in May evenings."

Sunset rooftop cocktails at Main Tower terrace

"Stroller note: The bridge ramps are accessible but cobblestones near the riverbank can be bumpy — use the paved promenades at Mainkai.Quiet corner: Early evening in May is pleasant and less crowded than mid-day; bring a small snack to settle by the river while kids run a little.Facilities: Public restrooms are available nearby (look for 'WC' signs along Mainkai); keep an eye on cyclists on shared paths."

Gentle riverside walk to Eiserner Steg — views and photos

"Use the main entrance (usually step-free) and request an accessible map at the ticket desk — routes to the large greenhouses are wheelchair-friendly.Sit on the many benches near the ponds and greenhouses; the large glass houses provide warmth and wind protection in May.There are accessible toilets near the main glasshouses; check their locations on arrival and plan short breaks every 20–30 minutes."

Palmengarten — botanical gardens and greenhouses

"Book the same time slot for your whole group; many rooms take 4–6 players—book two rooms if you're larger.Ask staff beforehand about physical requirements — most rooms are low‑impact but have small spaces.Celebrate with a quick drink after completing the room — many escape centers have a lounge area for group photos."

Group Escape Room — TeamEscape Frankfurt

"Pick one or two exhibitions to explore slowly rather than rushing the entire museum.The building has intimate galleries with benches — sit and absorb a favorite piece together.Check for any late-afternoon temporary exhibits or artist talks that can add a thoughtful pause to your visit."

Museum für Moderne Kunst (MMK) — contemporary art visit

"The Museumsufer has many benches and shaded areas—pick a spot close to the museum exit to keep walking minimal.If it’s warm, sit in shaded areas under trees; in cooler weather, an indoor café nearby is an easy backup.Keep personal items close and ask a companion to check boat boarding information while you rest."

Short rest at the Museumsufer benches

"The café is on-site with level access from the galleries—ask staff for a quieter table in advance.Avoid heavy meals if you plan the river cruise afterwards; choose light salads or fish dishes commonly available.Accessible restrooms are nearby in the museum; take the time to refresh before continuing the day."

Städel Museum Café — leisurely lunch

"The bridge can be windy in spring—bring a light windbreaker for kids and secure loose hats.There are always friendly street vendors for ice cream or pretzels; bring small change and choose a quiet bench by the river for nibble time.Watch for cyclists on the promenade; keep little ones close when stepping off onto the riverside path."

Eiserner Steg & Main promenade — short riverside walk and views

"The nave is accessible step-free; if you want to avoid stairs, skip tower access and remain in the main church where benches are plentiful.There are accessible toilets a short distance from the main entrance—ask staff for the nearest route.Services can make the interior busier; if you prefer silence, check local mass times and visit outside those periods."
