| Frankfurt Travel Guide - Die Zeil
Die Zeil, a main shopping
artery
One of the oldest streets of Frankfurt is Zeil Street, where
in the times of the Hohenstaufen large cattle trading fairs
were held. As the city grew beyond its walls, Zeil Street
went on to being one of Frankfurt 's important west-east connections.
Since the late 17th Century through to the mid 18th Century
Zeil Street gradually turned into one of the most picturesque
residential and commercial streets of Frankfurt.
Today, Zeil Street
is a pedestrian-only area, lined with trees, cafes and fast
food establishments arduously vying for street space. This
is the shopping artery that draws in the highest volume of
sales in Germany, and one of the most important in the whole
of Europe. An important feature that is partly responsible
for its popularity is the futuristic architecture of the Zeil
Gallery.
