What to see in Frankfurt: interesting sights of the city

Alt Sachsenhausen

Kleine rittergasse

Rent a car and drive to the charming Alt Sachsenhausen area. The first thing that impresses is how this piece of the old German province organically combines with skyscrapers and office centers. The quarter was restored after the Second World War, however, after the restoration did not lose its charm. It is still famous for its Saxon-style villas and a flea market where you can find vintage gizmos or small trinkets. They will be a great souvenir brought from Frankfurt. It is better to come to Alt Sachsenhausen late in the evening to stroll along the lantern-lit promenade, go to the Cinema Museum, and then sit in the tavern and try the national drink - apple cider.

After several decades, the building was restored.

One of the most striking and memorable sights near Frankfurt is the ancient Ruhnel Castle. It rises majestically over the Len River, which attracts tourists even more. Having reached the top of the fifty-meter cliff, you can visit the museum and see interesting exhibits. The history of the castle began in the XII century and since then a lot of water has flowed. In the middle of the XVII century, the building was almost destroyed after a thirty-year war. Of course, the castle was restored, and after several centuries, a museum began to work here.
