Audio Guide of Römerberg

Römerberg is a public square open 24 hours a day, perfect for a walk at any time. If you want to enter the Römer (the town hall) and its Emperor's Hall, the usual opening hours are 10:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 17:00 every day, although it may close for official events.

Access to the square and enjoying the historic façades is completely free. To enter the Kaisersaal (Emperor's Hall), a small symbolic fee is usually charged (around €2), but the greatest beauty is outside.

A typical visit lasts between 30 and 45 minutes to admire the architecture and take photos. If you decide to use an audio guide to explore the history in more depth or sit on a terrace, allow at least a full hour.

It is the medieval heart of Frankfurt and the site where the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire were crowned. The timber-framed houses, although rebuilt after the war, represent the city's commercial and political spirit for centuries.

For clear photos, go very early in the morning before the tour groups arrive. However, the most magical time is December, when the square hosts one of Germany's oldest and most beautiful Christmas markets.

Yes, access is possible, although the ground is cobblestoned, which may require some effort with a wheelchair. The town hall building has adapted access for visiting the interior; look for the barrier-free entrance signage.

You are in the very center of the action; just a few steps away you will find the majestic St. Bartholomew's Cathedral (Imperial Cathedral) and the Main River. You can also visit the Schirn Art Gallery, located just behind the famous row of Ostzeile houses.

Don't just look at the façades; find the Fountain of Justice in the center and notice the details of the balconies. We recommend bringing a downloaded audio guide so you can understand the history of each building at your own pace as you walk through the square.
