Nearly 40
museums make up Frankfurt's cultural landscape. Most of these museums are
located near Romerberg or are lined up along the southern embankment, called
Museumsufer. The city has invested more than 200 million euros in this museum
landscape since the 1980s, and the result is striking! Paintings by Old
Masters and more recent European artists can be seen at the Stadel Institute.
Modern and contemporary art is shown in the Museum fur Moderne Kunst and the
Schirn Kunsthalle. For a look at Frankfurt's history, visit the Historisches
Museum, Goethehaus or the Judisches Museum. If you're interested in tropical and
subtropical plants, the Palmengarten is unforgettable.
Another pleasant way to see Frankfurt is to take a
cruise along the Main River (a tributary of the Rhine). Day cruises to nearby
riverside towns are also a traditional way to explore the surrounding areas.
Two venues are at the heart of Frankfurt's performing-arts scene. The Alte Oper,
the city's beautiful concert hall, hosts world-class symphonies and companies on
tour. Stadtische Buhnen is the showcase for local companies, including the
city's opera, ballet and theater troupes. Not
to be missed is the Tigerpalast, a variety show with acrobats, magicians and
sometimes tigers. Most theaters, including those hosting ballet and opera, are
closed in July and August.
