Sachsenhausen is a town within a town. A very popular residential neighborhood, it also is home to a lively night scene on the Schweizer Platz, has a number of excellent, reasonably priced restaurants, and a number of charming boutiques and stores. It is within walking distance of downtown- just over the Main River via a bridge. More

I don't think I visited this area at the right time as it was seemingly quite and not what I thought it was going to be like i.e. it was not lively and there were very few people about on the Saturday afternoon I went. More

Across the Main river to the south lies the former village of Sachsenhausen. There are several pedestrian-only streets from the middle ages, various historic houses worth a look or photo, narrow streets with cobblestone, and many appealing restaurants serving German food and beer. You can also get various Frankfurt specialties, but some of them require a sense of adventure: Gruene... More

Most traditional restaurants in Frankfurt are located in SAchsenhausen. Try an "Apfelwein", a fresh apple-made wine. You can have it pure, with sparkling water or with lemonade. Very refreshing. More
