The Real Reason For Coming to Frankfurt

Upon returning to Frankfurt from Munich, I easily found a place to stay that was reasonably priced. The next day was for checking out the city. Now one could say there were plenty of reasons to come to Frankfurt.

There was Goethehaus, the house where the German philosopher was born and lived. The house was narrow, but very tall, with four floors.

Inside there was lots of old stuff. Cool stuff is a great reason to go visit a place like Frankfurt. There was the astronomical clock, which would have impressed my grandfather.

There was an old water pump, located in the kitchen. It's interesting to something inside the house that would normally be found outside.

There was old furniture, too. Not so much for me, but old furniture can be a draw for visiting somewhere.

And the old puppet theater that Goethe used for inspiration when he was a child was a great reason for a visit.

Nearby Goethehaus was another great reason to visit Frankfurt. The big church in the center of town was a very nice example of old churches.

Inside it was also very elaborate,...

...with some kind of crypt inside.

Unfortunately, there is a fee to go up to the top, to the viewing area. But there is a shopping center near the church, Myzeil, where there is a view over the city that is almost as good as would be at the church. And it's free. So it's a great reason to visit Frankfurt. It would probably be greater at night with the lights of the city.

The river cutting through the city is very picturesque, and is yet another reason to visit Frankfurt.

There are also museums galore in Frankfurt, for those who like museums. I can especially vouch for the cinematic museum. It is quite a nice one.

But personally, the best reason to visit Frankfurt...

Well, you decide if it's good enough.
