Sights Goethe HausThe great writer lived in this timber-framed house from his birth in 1749 until 1775, when he moved to Weimar. It was here that he penned his ode to suicide, The Sorrows of Young Werther, and began work on Faust. The rooms are nicely decorated with a mix of reproduction and original furniture, offering a glimpse of 18th-century domestic life. Don't miss Goethe's original writing desk and the library on the top floor. The Goethemuseum, housing a library of the writer's works, shares a gorgeous little garden with the house, perfect for getting away from the Sturm und Drang. Römerberg Grab a gelati, join the throngs and head for the old market square, site of the first Frankfurt Book Fair way back in 1480. The square is lined with a stage set of ersatz medieval buildings that give only a hint of the architectural riches lost during WWII. The three step-gabled pink buildings on the northwestern corner resurrect the old town hall (1405), or Römer, site of coronation celebrations during the Holy Roman Empire. Paulskirche, on Paulsplatz to the north, is fondly remembered for hosting the short-lived National Assembly of 1848. Further east, the Frankfurter Dom was one of the few buildings left standing after the bombing raids of 1944, and it was here that all those emperors were crowned. Sachsenhausen South-bank Sachsenhausen is the closest Frankfurt gets to 'old Germany' - rowdy taverns, rustic restaurants, tiny alleys. Cross the river via the Untermainbrücke and you'll find yourself on upmarket Schweitzer Strasse, lined with more boutiques, fine-food shops, trendy bistros and wine bars than you'll ever need. Alte Oper Frankfurt's Old Opera House is a totally reconstructed version of the original, destroyed in WWII.
