The start of this route is in front of the door of Frankfurt's central train station. The tour can be done confidently on foot, although the varied course is mostly on paved roads. Those who prefer biking or inline skating can approach the time this way. The route continues along Münchener Straße to Willy-Brandt-Platz. The Old Frankfurt Opera House is reached via the lovingly designed Gallus- and Taunusanlage. Behind it are the Bockenheimer Anlage and the Eschersheimer Anlage with a small pond.
The route then continues along the Main River before crossing the district of Oberrad. At the edge of the forest, there is the option of visiting the beautifully landscaped Scheerpark forest playground with a small miniature golf course or continuing to the wooden Goetheturm tower. The view from the top of the skyline of the Main metropolis is beautiful.
Further on, the route runs through Sachsenhausen and crosses the Iron Bridge to the Römer, Frankfurt's market square with the famous Paulskirche. From here, it is only a stone's throw to the central train station, where the city tour in Frankfurt ends.
