Held every year, the Museum Embankment Festival is one of the top events in Frankfurt's festival calendar. Concentrated around the Eiserner Steg footbridge, the festivities stretch for eight kilometres on both side of the River Main, and if you think it's just about museums, get ready for a big surprise ...

Frankfurt's biggest festival
10 museums on the "Schaumainkai" museum embankment hold special events and one-off exhibitions, while visitors are also treated to a packed programme of cultural events, with everything from stage productions and performances to cabaret and live music. It's also well worth catching the spectacular dragon boat race.

A casa de Goetlhe, local de nascimento de Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe oferece fascinantes insights com relação ao estilo de vida da classe média-alta da Alemanha no século XVIII. De todas as edificações de Frankfurt, a Igreja de São Paulo provavelmente possui o significado histórico de maior importância: foi neste local que se reuniu o primeiro parlamento Alemão, eleito por voto livre, em 1848. A Praça Römerberg e a antiga sede da prefeitura, conhecida como “Römer” formam o coração do antigo quarteirão.

Frankfurt's museums along "museum embankment" have a variety of exhibitions. There is culture for every age, from pop music events to classical opera to modern theatre performances.
