Backpack Europe 45 days Germany-Frankfurt

* *>& gt Travel Notes General Catalogue

I have been to Frankfurt twice, so the following is divided into two reviews in chronological order.

& lt- Last stop: Wü rzburg (Germany)

On the day I first arrived in Frankfurt, I spent the whole morning in Wü rzburg. Then I took the 1: 55 train, and after more than an hour-3: 04 pm, I arrived at Frankfurt Central Station on time.

Starting from tomorrow, I will temporarily interrupt a person's backpack to walk alone and go to Central Europe with a tour group. Soon, I will meet my aunt (whom I met on the website of poor travel).

The hotel we booked is near the railway station. When I found the hotel at 3: 10, my traveling companion had arrived.

I said hello and packed my bags. At about 3: 30, I set out alone and began to storm Frankfurt.

I spent about half an hour in mobile navigation and arrived at the seat of the European Central Bank. The huge euro sign next to the building can often be seen in the news, and it is also a symbol of Frankfurt as one of the European financial centers.

I think I have entered a tourist area. Sightseeing trams pass by from time to time on the road, and a very detailed map of scenic spots appears at the intersection.

Goethe's former residence can be reached within ten minutes' walk from the European Tower. This is the place where the famous German poet Johann Wolfgang Goethe was born (1August 28th, 794), where he wrote the beginning of the famous young werther and Faust. Next to Goethe's former residence is the Goethe Museum.

As a typical engineering student, I have no special love for literature. I just came to my former residence to check the list of scenic spots, and then I left.

Frankfurt is ten minutes' walk from Goethe Museum. It can be regarded as the most historic building in Frankfurt.

St Paul's Church is an oval Protestant church. 1848 the first elected parliament in german history was held here, and the first unified constitution of Germany was born. Since then, St Paul's Church has become a symbol of German unity and democracy. In other words, it is not only a place for religious activities, but also used for many important political and cultural activities.

The first floor of the church has been transformed into an exhibition hall.

I can hardly see the church on the second floor, but it is probably the most modern church I have ever seen in Europe. ...

I couldn't understand the German exhibits, and the minimalist style of the church was not to my taste, so I wandered around for a few minutes and left St. Paul's church at 4: 30.

St Paul's Church is in Rome Square (R? Merberg)。 Rome Square, which was built in the middle ages, is located in the center of the old city of Frankfurt. It is the only square in the modern city of Frankfurt that still retains the street features of the middle ages. This is the most important city square in Germany, and it is also the location of the Christmas market in Frankfurt every Christmas.

The square is located in the north of the Main River Railway Bridge, with the city hall (a conjoined Gothic building composed of three herringbone buildings, which was once the place where the emperor was elected and crowned, and is now the seat of the mayor's office in Frankfurt) in the west, the old Nicholas Church (built to commemorate Nicholas, the patron saint of wholesalers and businessmen in the middle ages) in the south, and the Bishop's Cathedral in Frankfurt, the birthplace of the city, 200 meters east. 1944, the square was violently attacked by the British air force, almost completely destroyed and rebuilt after the war.

After staying in Rome Square for about 20 minutes, I continued to walk towards Eisensteiger. Like most European cities, the scenic spots in the old city are very compact, and the iron bridge is only less than 5 minutes' walk from Rome Square.

The railway bridge is a footbridge across the main river, connecting the city center and Saxony Hausen. The construction of this new Gothic footbridge with steel frame structure began in 1869, and it was not rebuilt many times until 1993. It is the first suspension bridge in Europe.

I found that Europeans padlock when they meet the iron bridge and toss coins when they meet the pool. This is probably a conditioned reflex.

The wind on the bridge is too strong. After being confused for a few minutes, I couldn't help it. It only takes less than 10 minutes to walk from here to Frankfurt Cathedral.

The full name of Frankfurt Cathedral is Saint bardo Lumao-Emperor Cathedral (Kaiserdom St. Bartholom? Us) is obviously the most important church in Frankfurt (the cathedral is very powerful anyway). 1365, this church became the official place for the Roman Empire to elect an emperor. From 1562 to 1792, 10 emperors were crowned here, making it one of the most important buildings in the holy Roman Empire. It is said that there are gorgeous robes worn by the archbishop at the coronation ceremony in the treasure house of the church.

1867 A fire almost destroyed the whole church, and then it was built into a neo-gothic building. But it was destroyed again in World War II, and the present building was newly built by 1950- 1953.

It's just after 5 o'clock, which is the time for mass in the evening. I went in to feel the worship atmosphere again (I say "again" because I have been in churches in different cities almost every night recently to watch their worship ...).

After sitting in church for almost half an hour, it's time to go back.

Follow mobile navigation towards the city center.

After walking for almost 20 minutes, I finally saw the last point of today's trip-Hauptwache. This baroque cabin was built in 1792 and used to be the barracks of Frankfurt army. Now it is a cafe and the center of Frankfurt.

Going to Prague, Czech Republic tomorrow, I'm looking forward to it ~

-& gt； Next stop: Prague (Czech Republic), Bratislava.

& lt- Last stop: Rhine Falls &; Didixihu

& lt- Last stop: Heidelberg, Germany

It's been more than a week since I last came to Frankfurt. I came back here with a tour group last night, and this morning I broke up with my aunt who shared a room with me. I'm going to the youth travel agency again.

After breakfast, at 9 o'clock, I dragged my luggage out of the double room to find the youth travel five elements that I had ordered by mail.

I checked in at the Youth Travel Agency, put the boarding box in the iron cage in the storage room and set off for Heidelberg.

Heidelberg is a city worth visiting (it seems that all German cities have left a very good impression on me so far ...), which I will elaborate in another blog. Now let's skip straight to tonight.

It's 7 o'clock in the evening when I return to Frankfurt from Heidelberg. Go to the Youth Travel Service (not far from the railway station) and take the box in the iron cage back to the dormitory.

After cleaning up, we set out at 7: 30 for the second sweep in Frankfurt.

You can see Mainta a few steps away from the youth travel agency. It is one of the famous skylines in Frankfurt and the first high-rise building decorated with all glass in Europe. More precisely, it is actually composed of two high-rise buildings, the heights of which are170m and 200m respectively.

I walked with mobile navigation for less than ten minutes and plunged into a city park.

Walk through the park for another ten minutes, and you can see the Frankfurt Opera House. The Opera House was founded in 1880, which is the architectural style of Italian Renaissance. Bombed in World War II, it was rebuilt and reopened to the public at 198 1.

Near the old Opera House is the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, which was built at the end of19th century. It is the trading center of German securities and currencies, and it is also one of the busiest stock exchanges in Europe and even the world.

Like the new york Stock Exchange, there are sculptures of bronze cows here. The difference is that there is a long queue on Wall Street waiting to take a photo with the bull market, but here, there is no one except me. ...

After the exchange, I basically went through all the scenic spots on my list about Frankfurt. Go back to Youth Travel before dark!

Go back to youth travel after eight o'clock, and there will be free egg rolls tonight ~

Tomorrow, the trip to southern Europe is about to begin!
