6. ST. Paul's Church

   St. Paul's Church, built between 1789 and 1833, is the birthplace of German democracy: the church was used for political meetings and was the seat of the first openly elected German parliament in 1848. Today, Paulskirche no longer functions as a church and acts as an exhibition venue for activities such as the annual awarding of the German Book Exchange Peace Prize at the Frankfurt Book Fair. It is situated at Römerberg.

7. Palmengarten (Botanical Gardens)

   Established in 1868 by a group of Frankfurt residents, the Palmengarten takes you on a horticultural journey from the African savannah and tropical rainforest plants to the flowering flower gardens of Europe. Spread over 50 open acres and various greenhouses, you can see more than 6,000 various botanical plants from all over the world.

10. Eiserner Steg

    The iron footbridge of Frankfurt, spanning the Main River between the city center and the Sachsenhausen district, has seen an eventful 150 years since it was completed in 1869. It was repaired twice, the first time in 1912 when the Main was made navigable to larger ships, and again after the Nazis had blown it up in the last days of the Second World War. There is special charm in the metal frame of the bridge, and the perfect time to cross is late in the day when the low sun lights up the high-rise buildings in the Bankenviertel.
