Frankfurt am Main will delight shopping lovers - local shopping areas are compactly located in the city (some shopping streets smoothly flow into others), which allows you to save time and save your feet from tedious "jogging" in search of the right things. Regardless of the goals set for the lovers of fashion and rare shopping, they should definitely visit the flea market in Frankfurt am Main.
Flea market on the Museum Embankment (Museumsufer)
On the embankment along the Main River, not only a large number of museums are concentrated, but also cultural events are regularly held (spring pleases city guests with a “Museum Night”, and the end of August - with a “Museum Embankment Festival”), as well as a flea market. It sells art, vintage clothing, flasks, medals, used bicycles, cameras, antique furniture, glasses, watches, funny knick-knacks and other items with a long history. Those hungry can have a snack on the market with grilled German sausages.
Christmas Fair
Travelers are equally interested in the Christmas market on Römerberg Square (it is open 26.11 - 22.12 from 10-11 am to 9 pm): theatrical performances, traditional treats (marzipan cookies with almonds, Christmas gingerbread, fried sausages, mulled wine, punch) are waiting for them and products for sale (in the market, where at least 250 wooden "houses" are installed, they sell puppets, candles, mittens, tin toys, Christmas tree decorations, ceramics, and earthenware jugs for wine).
