Frankfurt is a suprise a city of contrasts. I have been twice- once with my wife. This was to see the sights and sounds.
Once with Glasgow`s Famous Gallon club. This was to enjoy the nightlife.

Romer Square
The city centre, especially Römer square and the museums at the River Main, draw millions of tourists every year. On the other hand, many off the beaten track neighbourhoods, such as Bockenheim, Bornheim, Nordend and Sachsenhausen, with their intact beautiful 19th century streets and parks are often overlooked by visitors.
River Main
- The Main Tower (Subway station Willy-Brandt-Platz or S-Bahn-station Taunusanlage) building is special as it is the only Frankfurt high-rise that is open to the public. For 6.50 Euro, you can take the elevator to the viewing platform at a height of 200 metres. From here, you will have a good view of Frankfurt and the surrounding area. Make sure to go on a clear day, and if you're in Frankfurt in Fall or Spring you might wish to try to go up a short while before sunset. That way, you can witness how the city changes from day to nightlife. The Main Tower is something that you should not miss during your stay. The viewing platform will be closed during severe weather.

Sachsenhausen
By crossing one of the bridges from the city centre you reach the Sachsenhausen part of the city south of the Main river.
The old town part, Alt-Sachsenhausen, at Affentorplatz is famous for its old cider bars. Look out for red faces of the cider drinkers.

In the summer, a walk along the river Main is a nice thing to do. A lot of people will spend a sunny afternoon walking or sitting there on a lawn or playing frisbee or football. It's a relatively quiet area, considering it's in the heart of the city. Nearby cafes and restaurants allow you to have a drink in between.
