Römerberg (Römer square) or Frankfurt’s “Old Town”
The Ostzelle houses in Romerberg, Old Town Frankfurt
Frankfurt’s Old Town, Römerberg, which translates to Roman Mountain, is the first, and probably last (to leave with a great impression), place you should visit in Frankfurt (aside from trade shows, that is!). It’s beautiful and offers, in a very concentrated area, a lot of reconstructed cultural and historic sites and activities, including the Frankfurt Book Fair.
