some important points:
Eiserner Steg:
The hundred year old Iron Eiserner Steg Bridge. At first glance it looked unlike the many other bridges crossing the river Main. But as u walked along u'll noticed one, two, ten, fifty and hundreds of engraved locks all over this bridge! and on closer inspection u'll realised these locks were put there by lovers as part of some sort of a promise or a wish of eternal love. The locks were of all different shapes, sizes and colour. And all of them had been engraved with the names of the lovers and the date. It is customary to throw the key away to complete the ritual.

we can also see st bartholomew's cathederal from here.

Romerberg Square:
The Römerberg (lit., "Roman Mountain") is the historic heart of Frankfurt, Germany, and since the High Middle Ages the centre of the Altstadt (old town). The area's buildings include the city hall, the Römer.[1] n Old St Nicholas Church in Römerberg, Frankfurt.

Zeilgalerie-galleria lafayette,:
A special attraction is the viewing platform on the roof of the Zeilgalerie. From here, visitors have an impressive view over the skyscrapers and the entire city to the Taunus mountains.

Hauptwache & the Main Guard:
In the middle of the city and undoubtedly one of Frankfurt's busiest pedestrian areas, the Hauptwache - literally translated, the Main Guard - is famous for its mix of fine old historic buildings and newer modern structures. Near to the Zeil, the Hauptwache is on every tourist visit list. Though its a tiny watch tower, but the nearby places are of significance. The most notable building here is the old Baroque Guard House after which the square is named. Built in 1730, it once housed the city's militia, a prison, and later, a police station, and now serves as a café. The square itself is one of Frankfurt's main shopping areas, complete with a large underground mall. It's also the point from which the city's main shopping and commercial streets radiate: the pedestrian-friendly Zeil heads east, and Kaiserstrasse, with many places of entertainment in its side streets, runs southwest by way of the Rossmarkt and Kaiserplatz to the city's main train station, the Hauptbahnhof, built in 1888 and one of the largest stations in Europe.

Frankfurt main tower:
Main Tower is a 56-storey, 200 m (656 ft) skyscraper in the Innenstadt district of Frankfurt, Germany. It is named after the nearby Main river. The building is 240 m (787 ft) when its antenna spire is included. The tower has five underground floors and two public viewing platforms. It is the only skyscraper in Frankfurt with a public viewing observatory. It is the 4th tallest building in Frankfurt and the 4th tallest in Germany, tied with Tower 185.
