The highlights of the Frankfurt cultural scene undoubtedly include the ‘Museumsufer’, where 11 well-known museums are lined up like a string of pearls on both sides of the Main. Around 50 other museums and exhibition halls, including, for example, the Schirn Kunsthalle, are situated in the immediate vicinity or in a central location. edit Shopping As a relatively prosperous city, Frankfurt is well supplied with shopping possibilities – everything from large department stores to small, specialist handicrafts shops can be found in the city. The pedestrian street, Zeil (from Hauptwache to Konstablerwache), is the city's major shopping street and is lined with well-known department stores, including the super-modern Zeilgalerie, Zeil 112-114, with approximately 50 shops, a number of eateries, an aqua spa, and tremendous views from the roof terrace. The largest shopping centres in Frankfurt are the Nordwest Zentrum, Walter-Möller-Platz 2, and Schillerpassage, Rahmhofstrasse 2. Others are the Hessen Centre, Borsigallee 26, the Neu-Isenburg-Zentrum, Hermesstrasse 4, and the Main-Taunus-Zentrum in Sulzbach. edit Food and drink The following Menu and Dining Guide contains an alphabetical glossary of words and expressions that are likely to be encountered on a typical menu (die Speisekarte) in Austria, Germany or Switzerland. It is part of Lektion 13 - Essen und Trinken (German for Beginners: Food & Drink). Keep in mind thn at, as with many things in the German-speaking world, food and drink vocabulary is very regional. Some dishes are more likely to be found in one part of Germany and not in another. Certain regions tend to have more beer or tea drinkers, while others may prefer coffee or wine. If you look at a menu in Munich, it will be very different from one in Hamburg. However, there are many things they will have in common and we offer a wide range of selections on our Speisekarte. We have also included some related terms and the words for places to eat and drink. Guten Appetit! edit Sights Those who set out on a discovery tour of Frankfurt can easily reach many of the sites on foot or by bus and train. Many attractions are not very far from one another in the city centre, as our virtual city tour shows. And with public transport, you can quickly reach further sights such as the Palm Garden and the Zoo. A city tour with the nostalgic tram, the ‘Ebbelwei Express’ is particularly popular. And culture lovers will find an impressive selection of renowned museums on both banks of the Main. edit
