Frankfurt Self Guided Historical Walking Tour

Free cancellation available
Service animals welcome

The tour begins at the Old Opera House, a symbol of Frankfurt's history and architectural elegance, built in 1869. This landmark reflects the city's dramatic historical shifts, including its annexation by Prussia and the financial restitution that funded its construction. The first performance, Mozart's Don Giovanni, was staged here in 1880. Next, explore the luxury fashion district, reminiscent of haute couture's golden days. Baron Amschel Mayer von Rothschild guides you through the WWII era. You'll then experience Frankfurt's local apple wine, cross the Peace Bridge over the Main River to delve into the city's art and sculptural history, proceed to the Iron Bridge for a stunning view and 'love lock,' and finally, conclude at the Imperial Cathedral, a historic site of emperors' elections and coronations since 852.
