Tour in Frankfurt am Main:
Money and Art, Banks and Museums

The tallest, the most innovative, the first, the newest, the most economical, the ‘banking canyon’, water-cushion foundations, and a swimming pool in the penthouse, rises and falls in the world of finance – during our high-rise architecture tours, we tell you all about them. The unique skyline has become Frankfurt’s trademark. It has always been about accommodating many workplaces in a small space while also serving as status symbols for the builders. Today, sustainability also plays a role, and in addition to office towers, residential and hotel skyscrapers have been added. The banking world and wealthy Frankfurt citizens are also connected to the city’s many cultural institutions, which have been funded and continue to be funded through donations and foundations. Frankfurt has leveraged this and, in the 1980s, developed the Museum Embankment (Museumsufer), which even then attracted many visitors eager to see not only the exhibits but also the different museums designed by renowned architects. We are happy to guide you through this piece of architectural history.
