Full description

On this original tour we want you to experience true horror in the heart of Frankfurt. You will sightsee the best selected Old Town highlights with a 5-Stars Private Guide who will provide commentary and anecdotes with a motive of scary, dark German tales. Let us scare you!

The walking tour will start at Iron Footbridge, known for its amazing city views over the Main River and padlocks attached by romantic couples. You will stroll along the iconic Mainkai riverside road towards the Frankfurt Cathedral. This soaring Gothic structure accompanied by the scary, dark stories told by your Private Guide will give you the chills! You will follow the so-called “Coronation route,” which follows the footsteps of former kings and emperors from the place of their crowning at the cathedral, to see the harmonious architecture of the New Old Town.

Walking through the narrow alleys to hear more stories about ghosts and other hunting mischiefs. At the Römerberg town square you will see the Fountain of Justice (Justitabrunnen), the medieval Römer city hall, the Gothic-style Old St Nicholas Church and other monuments. At this picturesque location of reconstructed timber houses, you will hear tragic stories from the city’s past, such as the Black Death pandemic that killed 2,000 Frankfurt citizens in only 72 days of the plague arriving.

You will pass by the St Paul’s and St Catherine’s Church to see the David and Goliath Sculpture and hear the story of David’s victory over the already dead Goliath of the Bible. Lastly, you will walk to the Eschenheim Tower, a city gate which was a part of the late-medieval fortifications of Frankfurt. Throughout the tour, you will not only see the historic landmarks but more importantly, be entertained by the myths, legends and folklore from the German Middle Ages.
