Here are some interesting sights to see in Frankfurt that shouldn't be missed:

• Palmengarten - The diverse botanic collection called 'Palm Garden' consists of a huge number of subtropical plants that are housed in enormous outdoors facilities as well as covered buildings.
• Goethe House - The house where poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was born in 1749, offers an interesting insight into what the typical lifestyle was like in 18th Century Germany.
• Hauptwache Square - The centrally situated square once was a police and civil guard post; today it houses a bistro-café and is a popular meeting place among young and old people, residents and visitors.
• Kaiserdom Cathedral - The "Imperial Cathedral" has a beautiful gothic tower that is a noticeable landmark in the Frankfurts historic quarter and offers an incredible panoramic view.
• Opera - The Old Opera House is a building typically representative of the Gründerzeit period, the moment in which Germany experienced an industrial launch in the late 19th Century.
• Römer Town Hall - Three Gothic step-gables dating back to the 14th Century make up the impressive facade of the Römer and have long become the symbol of Frankfurt.
• St. Paul's Church - St. Paul's Church became a national symbol of freedom and democracy in Germany, when in 1848 the first freely elected National Assembly gathered here to draft the constitution for a unified Germany.
• Stock Exchange - Due to its 43 meter high dome, the building is also referred to as the capitalists' cathedral. In front of the building are two statutes that symbolize the speculators: a bull and a bear.
• Zeil Street - The modern shopping artery is one of the oldest streets of Frankfurt, where once large cattle trading fairs were held.
• Zoological Garden - Frankfurt Zoo, founded in 1858, is one of the oldest zoos in the world; it started out as a bourgeoisie establishment, that was intended to offer the people of this rapidly growing city a recreational facility.
