There is no better way to see Frankfurt than from the top of the "Main Tower". The high-rise is named after the German river Main, which runs through Frankfurt's city center. Although the Main Tower(650-feet) is not the highest skyscraper in Frankfurt, it is the only one open to the public. To enjoy the sweeping views of Frankfurt's skyline, you can either take the elevator up to the viewing platform or enjoy a cocktail and meal at the Main Tower bar and restaurant, located on the upper floor of the tower. The restaurant offers international cuisine and 26 feet panoramic high windows.
