About Frankfurt
Frankfurt am Main is an embarkation alternative to Amsterdam for itineraries that begin on the Main and head east toward Nuremberg or south down the Rhine. The reconstructed half-timbered Römerberg square, the Goethe-Haus, the Kaiserdom and the Städel art museum are the historical sights; the riverside skyline of the Bankenviertel is a working twenty-first-century financial centre. Cruise berths are at Westhafen, a tram ride from the centre.
