Must-Visit Places on a Free Walking Tour Frankfurt in Winter

Winter in Frankfurt transforms the city into a festive wonderland, making it an ideal time to explore its vibrant atmosphere.

The market, set against the backdrop of the historic Römer, features stalls brimming with handmade crafts and delicious seasonal treats like Glühwein (mulled wine) and Lebkuchen (gingerbread), perfect for warming you up on a chilly day.

For families, a visit to the Senckenberg Natural History Museum offers a fascinating experience, especially with the children’s programs available during the winter months. The museum showcases an impressive collection of dinosaur fossils and interactive exhibits that will engage visitors of all ages.
