- Germany school holidays
How to avoid the worst of it today
- Do the postcard before the coaches. Romerberg's gables at nine, the cathedral tower if it's open, the new-old lanes while they're still quiet — the historic quarter is small enough to own for an hour. Compact sights fill fastest and empty earliest — the smaller the square, the more the first hour is worth.
- Cross the Main for the day's depth. The Stadel's seven centuries and the museum bank's line-up carry the midday; the Eiserner Steg's love locks make the crossing part of the plan.
- Rise at sunset, descend to cider. Main Tower's deck as the towers light, then Sachsenhausen's long tables — the banking skyline and the village ritual, one evening apart.
Where the crowds are
- The Romerberg: Two coach groups fill it; fair-week evenings and December transform it.
- The Zeil on Saturdays: The shopping mile at full retail flow.
Quiet places in Frankfurt
- The Main's south bank: The museum embankment's lawns and gravel walks.
- The Palmengarten: Glasshouse calm in the Westend.
