Were celebrating the fiftieth edition of the Frankfurt
In Your Pocket city guide this edition. Local fans will
be interested to know that In Your Pockets German
franchise started in Frankfurt, occupying an office
near Berger Strasse in early 2003 and launching
the guide and website in June. That month, the
Yamato Drummers were banging away at the Alte
Oper, La Traviata was playing at the Opernhaus,
we recommended breakfast at Caf Karin, dinner
at Mouson Turm, drinks at OReillys and naughty
stuff at Golden Gate. Now, 49 editions later, the
guides cover price went down from 3 to 1,75
and many other things have changed for the better
in Frankfurt. But in essence Frankfurt remains the
same sophisticated, varied and yet compact city
that we explored in the sunny spring of 2003, and
many of the quality establishments we reviews then
are still going strong and well worth visiting today.
This season, enjoy the Frankfurt spring, sit by the
river, head out to the parks and forests and sample
the citys restaurants and nightlife. Well see you in
Frankfurt as we work towards our 100th edition.
Tips and comments are welcome at frankfurt@

Frankfurts iconic moving
Hammeri ng Man statue
was revealed outside the
Messeturm tower when
the compl ex opened i n
1990. The 21-metre high
metal figure is one of a
dozen kinetic sculptures by
American artist Jonathan
Borofsky, in cities all over
the world.
Cover story
Frankfurt is perhaps the most international city in Germany.
Despite its small size in comparison with the more popular
cities of Berlin, Hamburg and Munich, Frankfurters speak
more English and do more international business. One can
perceive the dynamic energy just by viewing the skyline, an
impressive array of modern towers and business institutions.
Al tstadt
The backbone of Frankfurt, the Rmer square i n the
Altstadt (Old City), dates back hundreds of years. The well-
kept appearance of Rmer with the Rathaus (Town Hall) is
impressive. However, do not be deceived, most of these old
buildings were virtually destroyed after World War II and were
only recently rebuilt as replicas of the previous structures.
Here also lies the birthplace of the German constitution,
founded in 1848 at the Paulskirche (Pauls Church), which
were both destroyed less than one year later by the riots
arising from the French revolution.
Innenstadt
The inner city covers the area from Konstablerwache all the
way up to Alte Oper. It is home to the Zeil, Germanys longest
Fussgngerzone (pedestrian shopping street) with its array
of shops. There is also the Fregass (a concentration of
restaurants) and Goethestr, hol ding the small er, more
refined shops and cafs, and the Friedberger Warte, one
of Frankfurts two medieval watchtowers.
Bahnhofsviertel
Those looking for the excitement of the citys famous red-
light district need not travel far from the Hauptbahnhof.
The Bahnhofsviertel (train station area) offers all kinds
of naughty treats for lonely businessmen, including peep
shows, sex shops and countl ess women of ill -repute.
Nonethel ess, the Bahnhofsvi ertel contains some ni ce
archi tecture as well as some of the ci tys best ethni c
restaurants. Though the city has spent much time and money
cleaning up the area, the faint of heart are recommended to
stay on Kaiserstr. when walking into the city centre. Others
may say that the area with its red-light activities north of
Kaiserstr. is the liveliest spot in town.
Sachsenhausen
Sachsenhausen retains charm, making it popular with tourists
and young locals. Schweizerstrae is the main street and
offers some of the citys better shopping. The bars along the
cobbled streets of Alt Sachsenhausen (E-3, MLokalbahnhof)
are popular with locals and tourists alike. Many of the citys
museums are located along the Schaumainkai, as is a large
flea market on Saturday mornings.
Bornheim
Bornheim, northeast of the centre and nicknamed das
Lustige Dorf (The Funny Village) is the most highly populated
area in Frankfurt. Find a wide variety of cafs, bars, and
restaurants with terraces. There is also some great shopping
to be found on the Bergerstrae. Every Wed and Sat, the
square am Uhrtrmchen (at the clock tower) hosts the
farmers market.
Nordend
Back in the 1970s the area north of the centre was home to
the liberal community where many freethinking minds joined
forces with famous Green Party members like the former
FRANKFURT DISTRICTS
German Foreign Minister, Joschka Fischer. Today it holds
a large crowd of young professionals while still maintaining
its eclectic character. Numerous bars and restaurants can
be found between Friedberger Landstrae and Oederweg.
Westend
The area of choice for business types. Its a green, mean
power machine: lots of cash, affluent city living and home to
Grnebergpark, with spacious green grounds to jog, sunbath
or flirt with the natives. The Palmengarten is another great
Westend asset, holding a wonderful array of plant species
in its botanical garden.
Bockenheim
You will find both rags and riches in Bockenheim. It contains
impressive estates and foreign consulates on the outskirts
of the Palmengarten, but on the other side it is lined with
the dull concrete university campus. Perched in the middle
of it all is the citys other remaining medieval watchtower.
Welcome to Frankfurt am Main!
In Frankfurt am Main, the world-
wide leading Trade Fair centre,
the doors are always wide open
to visitors from all over the world.
The Main metropolis, as one of the
most interesting German cities,
is characterized above all by the
extraordinary variety of its cultural
activities.
The Frankfurts Opera House is
first class. It has even been chosen
Opera House of the Year!
But also the shopping streets such as Zeil and Goethes-
trae just to mention two of them will certainly meet
all your wishes.
I hope that you will thoroughly enjoy your visit to Frankfurt
am Main and remember with pleasure your stay in our
city, too. Frankfurt am Main has very much to offer to
its visitors indeed.
Yours sincerely
Petra Roth, mayor of Frankfurt am Main
Message from the Mayor
In Your Pocket has broken much new ground of late,
publishing new guides in the Netherlands (Den Bosch,
Utrecht), in Austria (Vienna), in Croatia (Brac and Senj),
in Slovenia (Celje), in Serbia (Nis) and in Switzerland
(Zurich). A new guide to Minsk, Belarus, will be the next
In Your Pocket to launch, early in the summer.
We have also begun rolling out iPhone apps to all our
cities. We will be launching even more In Your Pocket
guides as apps throughout this year: to find out which
cities we will be covering, and to keep up to date with
all In Your Pocket news and events, like In Your

Public transport
In line with traditional German efficiency, the public transport
system runs smoothl y and on time.
The Frankfurt public transportation system (RMV; Rhein-Main-
Verkehrsverbund, www.rmv.de, tel. 0180-57 68 46 36, 0.14/
min) includes regional trains (RB), regional express trains (RE),
S-Bahn, U-Bahn, trams and buses. The system allows you to
travel with all methods of transportation on one ticket.
The U-Bahn (metro) comprises seven lines serving the
centre of the city. These tiddly trains are not much more
than underground trams, proved by the fact that some
lines surface immediately after leaving the core of the city
and trundle along on the street. Youre never very far from
a U-Bahn station. The stations are all well lit and most
are decorated in a slightly dodgy 1980s colour scheme.
Destinations are displayed prominently; keep the final
station or the colour of the line in mind to navigate the more
complicated stations. The S-Bahn complements the U-Bahn
as a far more extensive surburban rail network, also serving
the airport and surrounding towns. Usually rolling on ground
level, they duck underground in the city centre and pretend to
be an U-Bahn to confuse the tourists. Night buses take over
after 01:30, departing in all directions from Konstablerwache
every half hour on the half hour. Very nicely, the driver will even
stop between stops to ensure you get home safely.
Tickets (Fahrkarten) can be purchased from the depres-
singl y confusing RMV machines at tram and bus stops, as
well as at U and S-Bahn stations. The machines accept
coins and banknotes, and onl y issue tickets for immediate
use as Frankfurt has no validating machines. Instructions
are in German, English, French, Italian, Spanish and Turkish.
There is a variety of tickets, and prices depend how far you
are travelling and the time of the day. Reduced fares are
available Mon to Fri 18:30 - 06:00 &; 09:00 - 16:00, throug-
hout the day at weekends and all public holidays (excluding
the airport). During these times, you will automaticall y be
given the ermigt (reduced) version. Single tickets are just
that - no return journeys or stops. The most used tickets
have special buttons.
Press Einzelfahrt Frankfurt for a single ticket, which costs
2.40/2.30 (ermigt). If youre travelling less than 2km
(usuall y three stops) buy the Kurzstrecke ticket (short
journey; 1.50,). So, if youre going to use some form
of public transport more than two times a day, get the
Tageskarte (day ticket, 6.00). If youre travelling to or
from the airport, get the Einzelfahrt Frankfurt Airport
(single ticket, 3.80), or the Tageskarte Frankfurt Airport
dayticket (9.35). Certain hotels sell the 7.90 HotelGast-
Ticket which is valid for two days in central Frankfurt plus
the airport, and is cheaper than two day tickets. Group
tickets are available for, well, groups and families. A five
person card (adul ts and children) Tageskarte is 9.50 and
14.30 to include the airport. Finall y, another money saving
deal is the Hessenticket, valid for five people and allowing
any number of 2nd Class (not for ICE and IC trains) trips in
the federal state of Hesse, which includes Frankfurt, for 31.
For more information, visit the traffiQ office Verkehrsinsel
at Hauptwache.
Ruthless ticket controllers patrol the system frequentl y and
will not hesitate to slap you with a 40 fine for riding black
(Schwarzfahren) - no excuses accepted.
Trains
Frankfurts main train station, Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, is
a breeze. Find a Reisebank exchange office (open 07.30-
21.00) at the southern exit. You can get to the city centre
on foot in about 15 minutes; head straight out of the main exit,
cross the road or use the passageway and walk straight down
Kaiserstr. through the scruffy but harmless Bahnhofsviertel
district. Alternatively, head for the U-Bahn station under the
main hall; many lines head to the Hauptwache stop in the city
centre; U4 and 5 pass under the historic centre). Or head for the
Tiefbahnhof (deep station; entrance between tracks 16-20)
to catch an S-Bahn to the centre or to the airport (S8 or 9).
DB (Deutsche Bahn, German railways) runs ICE trains (high
speed), EC (EuroCity) and IC (InterCity). Seat reservations are
sometimes obligatory; check before boarding. Tickets can
be purchased at the the DB Centre and travel agency (open
06:00 - 22:30) in the main hall. Book online in advance
at DBs fabulous online train timetable at www.bahn.de.
Planes
Frankfurt International Airport (FRA) is a modern trans-
portation wonder, second only in Europe to Heathrow in
terms of air traffic, yet lightyears ahead in organisation.
Theres actually much more to the airport than one would
expect and time can be pleasurably spent at its shopping
centre, nightclub, art gallery or even the X-rated cinema. For
airport information, check www.frankfurt-airport.de or call
tel. 0180-53 72 46 36.
The airport conveniently integrates the (DB) train and bus ter-
minals, but the easiest way to get to the city centre is by tak-
ing a S-Bahn train from under Terminal 1 (the SkyLine shuttle
train and shuttle buses connect from Terminal 2 should you
arrive there). At the station, press the Einzelfahrt Frankfurt
button for a one-way public transport ticket to the centre
(3.55), or the Tageskarte Frankfurt inkl. Flughaven button for
a dayticket including travel to/from the airport (8.40); see
the Public transport section for more details. S-Bahn trains
to the city centre depart from platform 1 every few minutes.
Take S8 or S9 (direction Frankfurt Hbf, Offenbach or Hanau)
which all stop at the main railway station (Hauptbahnhof), the
Hauptwache and Konstablerwache. A taxi ride to/from the
city centre takes 20-30 minutes and costs about 20. This
is Germany, so you wont get ripped off - the reliable metres
tick merrily away at a fixed rate.
Travellers flying via Frankfurt-Hahn airport (110km
west of the city, www.hahn-airport.de) can get to and
from Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof using Ryanairs regular bus
service (12, 1 hour 45 minutes).
Taxis
Taxis queue outside S- and U-Bahn stops and can also be
hailed from the street at the same rate. This is Germany;
you wont get ripped off. Calling a taxi is an option as well;
mention to the operator if you want to pay by credit card, not
all have card-readers.

Public transportation is notably one of the best things about
Frankfurt. Easy access in and out of the city, from the airport
to the Messe keeps the visitors rolling in year after year. With
an estimated 150,000,000 trips per year, and 67 subway,
tram and bus lines, Frankfurters enjoy a leisurely trip round
their city, reaching destinations in no time.
With over 100 stops, the most ubiquitous of the track laid in
Frankfurt is used for the trams (Strassenbahn). Of course,
it wasnt always this easy to make your way round the city.
The first tram was introduced in 1872, the horse-drawn
wagon (Pferdewagon), but that quickly became a logistical
nightmare. Unpredictable horses were temperamental, not
to say the least of their unfortunate droppings, affectionately
referred to as horseapples. Seeking a sanitary and safer
soluti on to this probl em, the first el ectri c trams were
introduced in Germany in 1881, in Berlin, and in 1889 three
electric trams lines opened in Frankfurt. On the maiden
voyage of The Electric Tram passengers were so excited
that it was standing room only. By the end of 1899 approval
for many more tram lines came.
The most famous of Frankfurts trams is the quirky Ebbelwei
Express. It has become a landmark in Frankfurt since its
inception in 1977. Originally built in 1954, this was a Frankfurt
workhorse (gratefully without the horses) until its retirement
in 1978. Now sentimentally referred to as Oldtimer, it takes
you past all the historic sights of Frankfurt, such as the
Rmer, the Messe, Sachsenhausen and the Zoo. On board
passengers are given a bottle of Possmans applewine and
a bag of pretzels. Made from fermented apples, apfelwein
(ebbelwei or bbelwoi in local dialect) contains about 5%
alcohol, and it is the official drink of Frankfurt. Apple juice is
given to children, for whom the jolly multi-coloured tram and
its upbeat music are a perfect combination.
You can climb on and off anywhere you like, but tickets
(adults 5, children 2.50) are only good for one trip around
the city. It runs every Saturday, Sunday, and on public
holidays, but its best to check the website first to make sure
it is running and the best place for you to board. A round trip
of the city takes about one hour. Its not possible to reserve
seats, so do be aware that it could be crowded on days with
good weather. If youd like it all to yourself, its possible to
rent it for parties or special occasions at www.vgf-ffm.de or
tel. 21 32 24 25.

Until 17 April, the theatre presents An Inspector Calls, a
classic thriller by J. B. Priestley. Considered to be one of the
classics of 20th century English theatre, the play focuses
on the prosperous Birling family whose comfortable
existence is upset when Inspector Goole comes calling.
An impoverished young working girl named Eva has
committed suicide, and Goole hopes that the Birlings will
help him find out why. As the evening progresses, a series
of flashbacks and startling revelations shake the very
foundations of their lives and challenge us all to examine
our consciences. A twist ending adds a mystical, thought-
provoking touch to the proceedings.
From May 6 unti l June 24, see the mul ti -medi a
extravaganza The Dead Guy by Eric Coble. Eldon is a
twenty-something male with no ambitions, no prospects
and no life. Gina is an ambitious TV producer who hits
on the ultimate reality premise: find some loser to die on
live television while millions of Americans are watching
with apparent bloodlust. A sardonic commentary on the
television industry (and audience) and fame phenomenon
told in a multi-media live performance, this is a hysterically
funny story of redemption ...just not the kind were used to.

RESTAURANTS
bbel woi taverns
Although its an acquired taste, many find Frankfurts
favourite drink, applewine, to be a better thirst-quencher
than beer. Apparently Frankfurters are the only Germans
with this opinion so you will only find applewine in Frankfurt
and the surrounding area. Juice from pressed apples is
fermented (read: left to rot) for 8-10 weeks to produce that
unique applewine flavour. Some restaurants make their own
applewine while others are supplied by orchards located
just outside the city. Named bbelwoi in the local dialect,
its resembles cider but is rather sour, so many people
choose to mix it with sparkling water (sauergespritzt) or
lemonade (sssgespritzt). Locals, having been raised on the
brew, prefer it straight and in the less touristy taverns, the
barman often refuses to dilute it. Also, be warned that when
consumed in large quantities, applewine can give even the
heartiest stomach a run for its money. Order it by the glass
or by the pitcher, bembel, which comes in many sizes.

German
Dinner in a German restaurant is not just a time to quiet your
growling stomach, but also an opportunity to meet some
locals. Its normal for patrons to share long wooden tables
with other guests - so introduce yourself to your neighbours,
attempt to mimic their pronunciations of menu items, and
make room for others if the place gets crowded. And know in
advance that service is not as attentive as many of you are
used to at home. In addition to the traditional German dishes
mentioned on the German menu page, you will also find unique
Frankfurt creations like Grne Sosse, a sour cream-like sauce
flavoured with herbs, usually served with eggs or potatoes.

among their best offerings. It has a friendl y atmosphere, with

changes frequently. Comfy sofas and a DJ spinning tunes youve
been wanting to hear for a while make it feel more like you are
relaxing in a living room than a bar. They seemingly play every
type of music including rock, indie, punk, alternative, wave, soul,
lounge and sometimes just Elvis. The bar staff is extremely
friendly, but it is small and always crowded, as it is a big hit
with the local Sachsenhauseners. QOpen 19:00 - 02:00.

Tower skyscraper (or, lacking money or time, to the top
floor of the Zeilgalerie mall), a stroll from Opernplatz
to Konstabler Wache and a peek at the Rmerberg.
With more time on hand, visit the Stdelsches Kun-
stinstitut museum.
Essential Frankfurt
Museumsufer D-3, Schaumainkai, MSchweitzer Pl..

cultural treasures. The Museumsufer (museum embankment)
stretches between the Friedensbrcke bridge in the west
all the way to Dreiknigskirche church in the east. The strip
holds thirteen of the citys museums, all located in wonderfully
restored villas from the 1900s set between structures dating
back to the 1800s. Internationally acclaimed architects such
as Richard Meier and Oswald Mathias Ungers have extended
the existing buildings with modern additions. Museums found
here include the Film Museum, the Museum of Applied Art, the
Jewish Museum and the Architecture Museum.

renowned physician, author and lifelong citizen of Frankfurt
Heinrich Hoffman, Stuwwelpeter, (pronounced Stroo-velpay-
ter) or Slovenl y Peter, is his most famous character. He began
sketching for children to ease their nerves while visiting his
doctors office, and eventuall y wrote Struwwelpeter as a gift
for his three-year-old son in 1844. It and many other stories
quickl y became classics (and cautionary tales) worldwide.
The small gallery is a collection of original artwork created
by Hoffman, editions and parodies of Struwwelpeter from the
19th and 20th centuries, as well as other paraphernalia to do
with his life and work as an author and an psychiatric innova-
tor. The book can be purchased in scores of languages - Mark
Twain did one translation. Its worth a look if you are at the
Rmerberg wandering around, particularl y as admission is
free and they have a great gift shop. QOpen 10:00 - 17:00.

Parks & Gardens
Bethmannpark E-1/2, Berger Str./ Mauerweg, MMe-
rianpl.. Located in front of Friedberger Tor and opened to
the public in 1952, Bethmannpark is worth visiting to see
the Chinese Gardens - with pagoda. Chess players can play
using the parks metre-high chess pieces. However, the park
is located off the busy Friedberger Landstrae and, as such,
is not the most peaceful of Frankfurts green spaces.
Cl ai mi ng 83, 000 of
the 600,000 j obs i n
Frankfurt, banks are
taken ver y seri ousl y
around these parts. 83
percent of Frankfurts
GDP is based in service
industries, so if inhabit-
ants dont work directly
for the banks them-
selves, they probably
work for compani es
whi ch somehow indi -
rectly support them. The GDP per Frankfurt employee
is a whopping 70,165, and the balance sheet of banks
headquartered in Frankfurt comes to a staggering
2,218 billion. There are over 315 banks here, includ-
ing 177 foreign institutions, which is probably why you
can walk around town and hear five different languages
on any given day.
The most famous bank in Frankfurt is the European
Central Bank (ECB, www.ecb.europa.eu), which makes
Frankfurt the capital city of the euro. The current presi-
dent of the ECB is Frenchman Jean-Claude Trichet. Politi-
cally independent of the governments of the EU member
states, the ECB is responsible together with the national
central banks for the definition and implementation of
monetary policy in the eurozone. Its mission is to main-
tain price stability for the eurozone, thereby safeguarding
the value of the euro. The ECB building houses a gift
and bookshop with plenty of literature and coin sets

Grneburgpark & Schnhof-Pavillon B-1, Grne-
burgweg, MWestend. Located in the Westend area,

city, with great tree-lined paths for strolling and jogging as
well as spacious lawns for chillin or Fuball. The park was
founded in 1789 by P. Tehmann-Metzler, the original owner,
and named Zur Grnen Burg. It was handed to the city of
Frankfurt in 1940 and today, the park has been expanded
and holds exotic trees and plants, some of which older than
100 years. In the summertime an open-air cinema screens
films and concerts take place on the lawns. The Schnhof-
Pavillon, originall y a garden house from the 18th century,
serves as a caf and restaurant.

beer garden in the park serves applewine and, of course, beer.
Ostpark I-2, MEissporthalle/Festplatz. A charming park,
with a vast expanse of green for sunbathing, kicking around
a football, or just lazing. Frankfurters are very keen on grilling
frankfurters there on the weekends but its big enough to
accommodate everyone. It also has a huge lake right in its
centre, a rarity for city parks.
Stadtwald F-4. Its well worth the 10-minute tram journey to the
spacious Stadtwald (city woods) on the outskirts of Sachsenhau-

One of Frankfurts oldest remaining buildings, the Sach-
senhuser Warte fortress tower dates back to 1470,
when it was built to guard the most important road lead-
ing south. Besides forming part of the city fortifications,
for centuries before the arrival of skyscrapers it was
a popular place for locals to view the city from above.
The Sachsenhuser Warte underwent several attacks;
the 1519 clash with Franz von Sickingen was resisted
without the tower being scratched, but unfortunately
the encounter with Markgraf Albrecht Alcibiades von
Brandenburg in 1552 resulted in the tower being burnt
down, later rebuilt as a watchtower. It survived World
War Two undamaged, though the Baroque house next
door was ruined. Nowadays, the Sachsenhuser Warte
is a popular bar and restaurant in green surroundings.

SKYSCRAPERS
With ten buildings over 150m high in the city centre, Frankfurt
( jokingly nicknamed Mainhattan) has a unique skyline for a
European city. Wartime destruction and the need for office
space during Germanys economic boom in the 1960s and
70s led Frankfurters to look up for space solutions. Indeed,
judging by the uninspired architecture (to say the least), the
motto of those decades seemed to be stick your banks in
the air like you just dont care.
Get great (and free) views of the skyline from the top floor of
the Zeilgalerie mall, which is connected to the roof terrace of
the Galeria Kaufhof department store.
Top buildings
Although the highest structure in town is the 331m Europaturm
tel evision tower in the northern outskirts, the hi ghest
skyscraper is the triangular Commerzbank Zentrale at 259m
(300.10m if you count the mast and the little blinking light
at the top). Its also the highest in Europe. Size does matter
when boys play with building blocks - the Commerzbank is
a full two metres higher than the previous highest building
in Frankfurt and Europe, the MesseTurm (Trade Fair tower,
257m). Third in line is the Westend Strae tower near the
station (208m). The crown at the top of the building needs
heating in winter to prevent icicles from forming. The Main
Tower with its viewing platform at 200m is next, followed by the
186m Trianon building, which has an upside-down triangular
mirror on the roof. Holding the record for 15 years from 1978,
the Silver Tower houses the Dresdner Bank, and used to have
a top-floor swimming pool which the bankers later replaced
with a conference room. The Marriott hotel has checked
into the 159m Plaza Bro Center, and next up are the 155m
twin towers of the Deutsche Bank, also nicknamed Credit &
Debit. The gleaming Skyper tower comes next - though wed
have suggested a more feminine name like Skyliner instead.
European Central Bank president Jean-Claude Trichet rules
over Euroland from the 148m Eurotower, though his little
enterprise is scheduled to move to a new 160m-high tower
across the river in Sachsenhausen in a few years.
Another remarkable highrise is the 120m Henninger Turm,
which is basically a rotating restaurant that was stuck on
top of the Henninger brewery silo in 1961. The brewery
is bankrupt, the terrai n sol d, and the tower is sl ated
for demolition, though this has led to an outburst from
Frankfurters who have happy childhood memories of the
rotating floor and the views.
Architecturally, the Japan Center (115m) may be the most
interesting skyscraper in the banking distri ct, wi th i ts
characteristic Japanese design and overhanging roof. The
most beautiful one however must be the Main Plaza. This
hotel may be a mere 88m high, but its made with bricks
and is inspired by the 1920s American Radiator Building in
midtown New York. A remarkable newcomer to Frankfurt
is the 87m-high building of the Radisson SAS hotel, which
is shaped like a coin standing on its side. Fans of 1970s
architecture should head out to the Niederrad office area to
view the remarkable 57m-high, boxy Olivetti Turm. Finally,
the pretty brick Mousonturm deserves a mention, even
though at 33m it doesnt even reach to the knees of its big
brothers. Once a soap factory, it now houses a theatre and
a (ground floor) restaurant.

where, see www.emporis.com.

www.maintower.de. A visit to the 200m-high Main Tower
skyscraper is a definite must for Frankfurt first-timers. Finished
in 1999, it houses 62,000m2 of office space, has 2,550 win-
dows, 1090 steps and employs about 2,000 people to keep
it standing. The most useless fact we can give you is that its
a full twenty times heavier than the Eiffel Tower. The observa-
tion platform, on top of building at 200m, offers magnificent
views of central Frankfurt and the surrounding region. Theres
no more appropriate place to order long drinks than up here;
have a romantic sunset dinner or a boozing session behind the
huge windows of the 53rd floor Main Tower Restaurant (open
17:30 - 01:00; Fri & Sat 17:30 - 02:00, closed Sun. & Mon).

(pedestrian street) of the Zeil, beginning at Hauptwache
and stretching all the way to Konstablerwache, with the
citys main department stores (Kaufhof and Karstadt) as
bookends. On its western end, the Zeil changes its name
and becomes Fressgasse (eat-street) with enough cafs,
patisseries and delicatessens to recharge from any shop-
ping spree. In the same area is Schillerstrae, home to
slightly less designer, but nonetheless quality clothing and
gift shops. For more funky boutiques, second-hand outlets
and hard-to-find items, try Berger Strae, with shops
extending from the Merianplatz to Bornheim Mitte U-Bahn
stations, or else Leipziger Strae in Bockenheim.
