Metzlerpark Frankfurt

Take a break

Alexandra from Frankfurt

""Metzlerpark" Frankfurt is the place to grab a bite to eat or chill out for a bit while visiting the Museumsufer along the river. Take your sandwich or..."

For sure you have noticed how vast a selection of Museums there is for you to choose from. The Museumsufer (Museumbank) is a blast for each and every museum lover - you can just visit one museum after the other, and spend your time among beautiful pieces of art and interesting pieces of history.

However, even the most hard-core enthusiasts will want a break at some point. Will you want to grab a bite to eat or chill out for a bit? If it is sunny, you may even want to sit outside and enjoy the sunlight.

Right in the middle of the south side of the Museumsufer, behind the Museum of Applied Art and the Museum of World Cultures, you will find the Museumspark. As long as the weather is nice, you will always find people relaxing, lying on the grass, jogging around or taking a walk with their pets.

Take your own sandwich, or grab a döner or kebab at the Dönerboot (between March and October), and enjoy these relaxing gardens. Just the small break you need to restore your energy and go back to your culture tour.

All in all, I am a city lover. I take great pleasure in uncovering hidden urban gems and secrets, and when I travel, I also try to get off the beaten track to get a grip of the real city. ...

Cinéma

Arthouse movie theater

"Cinema" in Frankfurt is a hidden French cinema located at the end of a downtown passageway. It makes me wonder why large-scale cinemas are still a thing.
