The band played & we sat here to take it all in. Romerberg is the historical center of Frankfurt's old town, known as Altstadt with traditional half-timbered houses & medieval Fountain of Justice in the square's center. Most buildings were destroyed in WWII, local authorities have reconstructed the main Frankfurt Square in recent decades & built new buildings in accordance with original plans.

The great thing about this place is the way that it contrasts with the city around it. Basically it…read moreappears to be the old city gate (and the word Tor pretty much confirms that), however when you stand on the northern side the contrast between this old gate and the modern skyscrapers is amazing. In fact it seems to be what a lot of Europe is about - the old and the new sitting side by side, and in some ways actually complementing each other. There are a couple of bars around here as well, including a really good one (Bar Ohne Name as it used to be called but I can't remember the new name at this point in time). While I haven't actually been inside the tower, simply wandering around it and taking in its beauty is worth it.

The first wrought iron bridge was built in 1868. It was replaced in 1911/1912 by a slightly larger cantilever bridge. The bridge was blown up by the German army in the final days of World War II, but it was rebuilt shortly afterwards in 1946. It was fully renovated in 1993. Nice to take a stroll on the bridge.

Another perfect spot for a photo opportunity, the Bull and Bear are in front of the Frankfurt Stock…read moreExchange, which is the largest of the seven regional securities exchanges in Germany. The origins of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange go back to medieval trade fairs in the 11th century. As Frankfurt developed into a regional power center, the bourse was established in 1585. After 1949 and the end of World War II, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange became the leading stock exchange in Germany. The bull and the bear were erected in 1985 by artist Reinhard Dachlauer and rubbing the bull's, uh, parts, is similar to the Charging Bull sculpture of Wall Street in New York (see https://www.yelp.com/biz/charging-bull-new-york-3) which will bring you good financial luck. I opted instead to take a selfie with my hand on the horn of the bull. The concept of "bull" and "bear" are to do with the stock market. An upward market is considered a "bull market" because the bull's horns are pointed upwards. A downward market is a "bear market" because the bear's claws are pointed downwards. And now you know!
