Fahrgasse Street Frankfurt

A street of rotating exhibitions

Samuel from Frankfurt

""Fahrgasse Street" is one of my favorite streets in old Frankfurt. It's full of art galleries where you'll rarely see the same art installation..."

Close to the Main River and next to the Old City is one of my favorite streets in Frankfurt. There are about 10 different galleries crammed onto a 200 meter street that I can’t help but stop at whenever I’m passing through.

Up until the 19th century this street used to be one of the busiest streets in Frankfurt. After most of it was bombed in World War II, new buildings were erected with the ground floors fashioned into dedicated art galleries.

These days you’ll rarely see the same art installation, and it’s always nice to pause and see what’s on display. Even in the middle of the night, most of the galleries are well lit, and you can even stop by a kiosk that specializes in selling paintings next to refrigerators packed with German beer (Yok Yok).

The art is mostly contemporary and can be quite provocative, so if you’re into that kind of thing or just happen to be seeing the sights near the old town, I can highly recommend taking a stroll through the Fahrgasse.

I never have a problem getting a table at most restaurants, and it's rather affordable compared to the rest of the big banking cities. It's surrounded by a green belt of nature and parks, and is the launching ...

Moloko+

Back to the '70s bar

"Moloko+" Frankfurt is not only a trip back to the '70s in terms of decoration, but it also reminds me of Berlin -- a style I couldn't find anywhere else.
