A walk by the river.

I live a 5 minute walk from the main station in Frankfurt. When I tell people this, they pull a face and say it’s a dodgy area. It’s not. It’s between the main station and the river – a high class area. Well, by Frankfurt standards. Haha.

So, last week (not this weekend just gone when it was gorgeous weather, sadly) I walked into town along the river to show just how gorgeous Frankfurt is.

I like checking out other peoples’ balconies because I want to make something of my own.  I like that chair second from the bottom…

Walking on…

Charming!

 

On to the main part of the river. There are loads of parks and stuff around here, with people skateboarding, jogging, riding bikes…

Pretties.

There are loads of bridges taking you over the river to Sazenhausen. Those buildings there are some of Frankfurts many museums and art galleries.

In the past few weeks there have been river cruise boats lining the side of the river.

Not a very exciting final photo, I’m afraid… but on the main suspension bridge people like to hang locks with their partner and throw the key into the river. It’s pretty romantic :-)

So there you have it! A mini tour of Frankfurt! I hope I showed you that Frankfurt can be really pretty when it wants to be.

  1. Nice pics! And a great area to live in :) . My office is actually right in front of that bridge on the third photo from the bottom. I love sitting by the river during lunch break and I can’t wait to further explore Frankfurt once I’ve moved there. Btw, I’ll get back to you about our coffee date when I have ;) .

  2. I love walks along the river Main. We did a walk about a month ago, starting at the Frankfurter Ruder-Club, then across the first railway bridge to see amazing views of the city and the new European Central Bank Tower being built (there’s also an art/sound installation on the bridge). On the other side there’s a fabulous cafe and cool anti bank graffiti along the walls. Once we got to the Alte Brücke we paid a visit at the portikus modern art museum and then onto the Deutschordenskirche (Teutonic Order of Knights Church). It was a couple of weeks after Christmas and they had the most beautiful Grotto and Christmas tress I’d ever seen in a church. If you’ve never been before check out the amazing frescoes through the right door near the front.
