Frankfurt Main Tower
Neue Mainzer Straße 52 - 58, Frankfurt, DEU
At 660 feet (200 meters), the Frankfurt Main Tower is only the fourth tallest building in Frankfurt, but it’s the still the city’s highest observation deck. Standing at the heart of Frankfurt’s central business district, the tower’s rooftop observation deck affords spectacular views over the city and the Main River.
Visitors can take in the views from the rooftop observation deck or enjoy a drink or meal at the Main Tower Restaurant and Lounge. The tower also makes a popular photo stop on city tours and hop-on hop-off bus tours of Frankfurt and can be seen on sightseeing cruises along the Main River.
Discounted entry is available for Frankfurt Card holders.
Free Wi-Fi is available on-site.
Large items, backpacks, and strollers are prohibited inside the tower.
The Main Tower is wheelchair accessible.
The Main Tower is located in Frankfurt’s financial district, and it’s hard to miss. It’s only a 10-minute walk from the main train station (Hauptbahnhof), but the closest public transit stops are the Taunusanlage S-Bahn station and Willy-Brandt-Platz U-Bahn station.
For the best views, head to the Frankfurt Main Tower to watch the sunset over the city, but prepare for a crowd. From March to October, the observation deck stays open until 11pm on Friday and Saturday nights, affording a fantastic view of the illuminated city.
Built in 1999 by architects Schweger and Partner, the Main Tower features two buildings—a rectangular office block and a cylindrical communications tower topped with a 131-foot-high (40-meter-high) transmitter. Behind the tower’s glittering blue glass facade are the offices of Landesbank of Hesse and Thuringia, Merrill Lynch, and other multinational companies.
