Frankfurt 50-Minute Sightseeing Cruise

Just because you're in Frankfurt for only a short time does not mean you can't enjoy its top attractions. Book this 50-minute sightseeing cruise on the Main River and watch the beauty of the city unfold before your eyes. The comfortable and spacious boat affords you with the most stunning views of the city from its open-top deck. If you want protection from the elements, you can stay in the indoor viewing area with its large glass windows, through which you get an unobstructed panorama of Frankfurt. You can choose to go upstream to spot magnificent landmarks such as the Frankfurt Cathedral, Dreikonigskirche, Sachsenhausen, Literaturhaus, Main Plaza, European Central Bank, and Gerbermuhle. If you go downstream, you will see the banks lined with wonders such as Frankfurter Romer, Paulskirche, Commerzbank, Städel Museum, Westhafen Tower, and Griesheim.

The trip starts at Eiserner Steg in central Frankfurt. From there, you can select whether to go upstream or downstream, depending on the attractions you want to see from the water. The boat is wheelchair accessible and allows service animals. Tourists with small children also need not worry as the vessel is stroller friendly, and provides infant seats. If you are unable to join the excursion, be sure to cancel 24 hours in advance of the trip date to get a full refund

The tour received a fairly pleasant view from travelers who experienced it. The boat can get noisy at times, though, making it hard for guests to hear the commentary. Overall, it was an enjoyable trip.
