Henninger Turm (Henninger Tower) Best of IgoUgo

Attraction | "Henninger Turm"

Quote:
Henninger Turm – Frankfurt from Above Frankfurt is known for its skyscrapers and for its enormous airport (Europe's no. 2). Height is a dominating factor in this city! One way to experience this is to have dinner or lunch or just a drink in the restaurant in the Henninger Turm. The Henninger tower is an operated brewery silo by the Henninger brewery. It is actually the tallest brewery silo in the world! 120 meters high there is a revolving restaurant, which is a fun experience.

El Pacifico Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant

Quote:
El Pacifico is in the eyes of many the best Mexican restaurant in Frankfurt. A friend of mine used to live in Mexico and she always dines here for Mexican food. She says it is like the real thing!

The restaurant offers a combination menu where you can combine burritos, tortillas etc. in one dish. It's an excellent introduction to Mexican food. Try the Quesadillas!

Staff is friendly and the athmosphere is quite cozy.

The traditional city tour in Frankfurt is slightly different, and quite memorable. The Äbbelwoi Express offers you a two hour tram ride through all of the city’s central areas. And while you cross the River Main a few times and pass the huge skyline, you can enjoy one of the culinary specialties of Frankfurt: the Äbbelwoi (Wine made of apples).

Ebbelwoi Express - Apple Wine Express

Frankfurt, Germany

Quote:
This is an interesting museum because it shows the art in the objects surrounding us. The exhibition, for example, shows some 50 chairs side by side -all in different designs.

A great place if you are interested in the more practical side of art.

When you are here in summer, the Cafe in the garden is a good place to relax and to have some delicious light food.
