    Frankfurt am Main #1

    August 24, 2021 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    There is so much in Frankfurt that it will take multiple posts to cover it. (Not to mention that I have a full day to myself to wander around.)
    The 1sr 2 pictures are taken from the top of the Main Tower. (Remember that Main is pronounced "mine" in German.) The 1st looks out across the city with the River Main to be the left. The 2nd picture is of the so called Old Opera House that is neither old nor an opera house. It was built to replace the opera house destroyed during the war and still hosts concerts, etc. The 3rd picture is of the Wallenlangen Park that circles the city along the route of the ancient city walls
    The 4th picture is the Hauptbahnhof, the main rail station dating from 1888.
    The 5th picture is of Kaiserstrasse which has some of the few 18th century buildings not bombed to rubble during world ear 2.
    The last picture in this post is the Frankfurt Bourse with the bull and bear in the lower left corner.
