Frankfurt Skyline and Towers

Why go

Frankfurt's towers are most rewarding as an urban-design study rather than a list of office addresses. Main Tower supplies the overview, while the streets below reveal changing materials, crowns, setbacks and public spaces. The route explains how several generations of high-rise building created Germany's most recognizable skyline. Most interiors are private, so use Main Tower as the substantial visit and keep the remaining buildings as quick comparisons along the walk.

Useful to know

• Most towers are private offices; plan exterior viewing and confirm Main Tower access separately.
