Frankfurt-Innenstadt I, Central administrative district in Frankfurt, Germany
This municipal district encompasses the old town, banking district, and opera quarter, which together form the center of Frankfurt. The area is characterized by a mix of historic streets, modern high-rises, and busy commercial zones.
The district grew from areas outside medieval city walls and later became a center for merchants and commerce. Cloth traders and business people shaped the economy during these early centuries.
The Goethe House stands as a symbol of literary heritage, where visitors can walk through the rooms where the famous writer lived. Theaters and art galleries shape daily life here and draw people interested in culture and art.
The area is easy to reach with several public transportation options, making it simple to move between different quarters. You will find many shops and department stores along the main shopping street.
The banking quarter concentrates a notably high density of financial institutions, with towers along certain main streets creating a distinctive skyline. This collection of high-rises developed during the economic expansion of the 20th century.

Frankfurt places you between centuries of history and one of Europe's tallest skylines. Medieval half-timbered houses at the Römer share the horizon with glass and steel towers that define the financial district. The Main Tower's observation deck shows you this contrast from above, while bridges like the Eiserner Steg let you watch how the skyscrapers reflect on the river's surface. You can photograph Gothic sandstone at the Cathedral in the morning, then walk to the Palmengarten to frame tropical plants inside 19th-century glass houses. The city's photography opportunities follow both banks of the Main River. The Museumsufer brings together classical museum buildings and modern galleries along the water, with steps where people gather when the sun comes out. Inside the Städel, natural light falls on seven centuries of European paintings. Kleinmarkthalle shows everyday life through market stalls and morning crowds, while the Alte Oper offers neo-Renaissance facades against the backdrop of office towers. Goethe's birthplace preserves 18th-century rooms in the middle of a city that keeps building upward, creating subjects that range from quiet interiors to bold geometric patterns on skyscraper walls.
