Sachsenhausen
South-bank Sachsenhausen is the closest Frankfurt gets to 'old Germany' - rowdy taverns, rustic restaurants, tiny alleys. Cross the river via the Untermainbrücke and you'll find yourself on upmarket Schweitzer Strasse, lined with more boutiques, fine-food shops, trendy bistros and wine bars than you'll ever need. Along the south bank of the Main River is Schaumainkai, called Museumsufer (Museum Embankment) for the high concentration of museums there.
