Beautiful architecture inside and out. You can enter the church for free, recommended donation if you want to light a candle. If you want to climb the steps to the top, there’s a freestanding ticket booth outside the church on the side closest to the river (opposite side from the church entrance). Once you pay, there’s a small wooden door to the spiral steps and you’re in your way to an incredible view 300+ steps above the ground. Know that it’s a narrow spiral stone staircase most of the time. The outer wall has a metal handrail and the inner wall has a rope handrail that is pulled taut (close enough to the stone that my mom broke her nail on the stone wall while clutching it for dear life lol). Some sections have small windows and/or lights near the ceiling but the steps are still rather dark in most places so I used my phone’s flashlight the entire climb so we didn’t miss a step. If you come across other people going in the other direction, someone will have to stop because it is extremely narrow. At the top you can walk the perimeter of the tower. There’s fencing and I felt safe even with high winds, stone benches built into the tower, and small trash bins at the top. Happy climbing!

Absolutely amazing cathedral near the East side of the old town, you can see this amazing architecture from a few distance. No problem to get inside, however, may be dependant on time - there some areas tourists are not allowed in, so be wary.

An absolute must if in Frankfurt. The architecture is truly amazing and will leave you open mouthed in awe. It's busy but you can still find a quiet place of contemplation and prayer. There are numerous beautiful alters, shrines, artworks and more. And the intricate ceilings are fantastic. It's really easy to find as it towers above old town. So you can't really miss it. Free entry for the main building. The viewpoint allows you to see the whole city and provides some truly astonishing views. It's only 3 euros to access but be warned there are hundreds of narrow stairs with and it's very difficult to cross paths with someone.

An oldest Catholic Church in the center of the City Frankfurt. With a beautiful architecture so spacious and good ventilation. The Cathedral is the only building that survived from bombing attack in the second world War. The statues and the station of the cross and all the interior of the church is very beautiful. So refreshing and spiritually refreshing. A place worth visiting.

Frankfurt Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Saint Bartholomew, is an architectural masterpiece that should not be missed by anyone visiting Frankfurt. Located in the heart of the city, this stunning Gothic cathedral is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of its builders. Upon entering the cathedral, one is immediately struck by the soaring heights of the nave, which is supported by a series of graceful arches. The stained glass windows, which depict scenes from the Bible, are a particularly striking feature, casting a warm glow over the interior of the cathedral. In addition to its architectural beauty, the cathedral is also home to a number of important works of art, including several statues and paintings by notable artists. The altar, in particular, is a work of art in its own right, adorned with intricate carvings and gold leaf. Overall, Frankfurt Cathedral is a must-see for anyone interested in architecture or art. Its beauty and grandeur are truly breathtaking, and it serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith. Whether you are a tourist or a local, I highly recommend paying a visit to this stunning cathedral

Es lohnt sich hinauf zu laufen über den schmalen Treppenaufstieg, immer rechtsrum, es ist eng und steinig. Ein kleines Abenteuer. Viel Kondition braucht es nicht für die paar Stufen. Oben angekommen ein grandioser Ausblick auf die Skyline.

I thought that this was a reconstruction but it’s actually the real Cathedral of Frankfurt. It was spared during the WWII bombing. From the outside seems impressive, but once you get inside you will realize it’s actually smaller than you thought. Great visit!

Very interesting cathedral. You can walk all the way up and get the 360 view. There are many stairs, it seems endless like my efforts to have a successful gambling session. But eventually the pain and stairs end as I hope for my losing streak.

Die Aussicht von oben ist atemberaubend und gibt einen großartigen Blick auf die Stadt. Allerdings sollte man beachten, dass es viele Stufen und eine enge Treppe gibt, aber die Anstrengung lohnt sich definitiv für dieses beeindruckende Erlebnis.

Gothic architecture at its finest, I couldn’t get enough of any view of Frankfurt that includes this amazing cathedral! The interior is not as impressive, but still beautiful. In the entrance you ‘ll also read about the church and old town during WWII, so interesting. I don’t know if any visits up the tower are permitted, but I ‘ll love to climb up there next time I’m in Frankfurt!

Someone commented that there was a construction two months ago. Well, there is a construction unfortunately. I’m going to rate this 4 star because I’ve seen Cologne Cathedral already and that one is superb! Nonetheless, gothic cathedrals always gets my attention.

Very iconic cathedral - due to its importance as a former election and coronation church of the Holy Roman Empire. Built with red dark stone, this 95 meters tall building is a major dominant of ''old'' Frankfurt. The interior is decorated with a beautiful shade of red that is not so typical for cathedrals and that is what makes this place quite unique in my eyes. There are some nice pieces of art, furniture and decorations, although it is quite a simple building, and there are definitely more impressive cathedrals around Germany. I appreciated the stained glass windows with pastel colors and I was impressed by the floorplan of the cathedral, as it is as wide as long, which I didn't notice until I was walking inside the transepts. Cathedral (Dom) is wheelchair accessible and located just a few meters from the U-Bahn stop of the same name. The entry is free, however there is a museum located in the other part of the cathedral and requires purchasing a ticket. Great addition to the cathedral tour is the climb to its tower and seeing the Frankfurt skyline! Interesting fact: It was pretty much the last standing building after the 1944 bombarding of Frankfurt - that and more you can read at the entrance to the cathedral. Visited in July 2022.

We were at the New Old Town and saw this cathedral from afar and it beckoned us so we made our way to it. The red stone looks really amazing in the light. We climbed up to the tower, all 350 steps. The way up can be quite narrow at some parts and can get rather claustrophobic. But, the view upstairs is beautiful andworth the climb!

Not the most beautiful cathedral in Europe for sure. But if you are in Frankfurt, it’s worth a visit. Located very near the train station, Don Romer. When you step out of it, you will see the cathedral instantly. You can also climb the tower and go inside the museum (need to buy a ticket for the later). 0.5 euro for lighting the candles.

A beautiful cathedral that somehow survived the flattening of Frankfurt in WWII. The soaring columns feels like you're in a forest of giant trees. The organ is absolutely gorgeous.

One of the main attractions to visit in Frankfurt, look impressive and it’s in a very good shape. Also the area around the cathedral is a very nice place to walk around. There was no fee to visit.

Amazing cathedral. There was a baptism going on when I was there. The organ was playing. How beautiful! I felt at peace inside. The sounds and the sites were glorious.

Beautiful architectural and religious piece of art. Important to know that this site was the location where German kings used to be crowned. A large part of this cathedral and all surroundings was rebuilt after massive destruction during WW II, so I understand that not much of it remains in original state.

I've just been amazed by this cathedral since we arrived in Frankfurt! we went today (Sunday) in the afternoon and it wasn't too busy. the art is magnificent - make sure to get an info pamphlet at the entrance so you can read about each piece. I have to specifically mention the organ as well! when we visit cathedrals, I'm always most excited for the organ, and this one is unlike any other. you won't be disappointed!

One of the iconic buildings in heart of Frankfurt city center. Beautiful gothic architecture and historic church of Holy Roman Empire.

Not the most beautiful or impressive cathedral in Europe, but well worth a visit. It certainly has one of the more interesting organs around, with the organ pipes being all-over. It is good that the dome is very regularly used for its intended cause, which however means that tourists need to time their visit well if they just want to have a look, without participating in a church service.

Definitely make the effort to climb the tower beside the church entrance. Amazing views of the city.

Amazing from both the outside and inside. Stepping into the Cathedral really makes you feel small. It’s really remarkable how people built this hundreds of years ago without the modern technology we have today!

Beautiful church, but definitely can use some help from a good gardener (lawn is almost my height 1.72😄) Jokes aside, we enjoyed it, especially van Dyck painting 🙂

If you are looking for a fantastic view of Frankfurt, make sure to visit the spire of the cathedral. It is quite a walk up there, but it is worth the effort. However, you won't be able to go to the very top. If you want to get that special view, you need to book a tour into the roof. On this tour they also take you to the very top of the spire where you will find a little museum and a view that very few people have seen. You will also get to see the Gloriana, the bell of the cathedral. With 11.950 kg it is a heavy-weight and you might even be allowed to hit it once (As I was allowed.) The tour is incredible, but it is only offered a few times a year and you have to book a long time in advance. Ask at the ticket counter.

Looking for a breathtaking and awe-inspiring destination in Frankfurt? Then be sure to check out the magnificent Frankfurt Cathedral! This beautiful church is one of the city's most iconic landmarks and is definitely not to be missed. Inside, you'll find an abundance of incredible art and architecture that will take your breath away. This is one place that you won't want to miss during your visit to Frankfurt! This absolutely stunning and gorgeous church is right in the heart of Frankfurt.

Oberer Durchschnitt, ansonsten ist der Begriff Dom zu vielversprechend. Ein Kirchengebäude, schlicht, ohne Prunk. Nicht schlecht, aber im Verhältnis zu den bekannten und herausragenden Kirchengebäuden eher einfach. Es lohnt sich zwar immer die Nähe zu Gott zu suchen, aber es lohnt sich nicht für das Bauwerk allein Frankfurt zu besuchen!

One of the Blessed Church! Thank you to all Chatolic Churchs, thank you to all the Priests, and people around you for your daily sacramental service, and daily Mass service! I am very proud and thankful to all Catholic Priest and Nuns. God Bless You All, And Bless All Our Churches🙏⛪🛐➕❤💐🌺🌹👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

An extraordinary cathedral . I believe made entirely of pink sandstone. Very elegant and even majestic decorations and look to this cathedral! Not to be missed if you are visiting old Frankfurt.

A must to visit in cathedral. Beautiful building inside and out. It is free to visit. If you want to go to the platform it is 3 euro and has 328 steps so not for the faint hearted. Recommended.

Beautiful church restored after WW2. Well worth a visit. Multiple locations in it are awe inspiring. We didn’t get struck by lightning as non believers.

I did not visit all the way inside. It requires ticket and need to purchase in advance (recommended) if you plan to spend 2-3 hours during your visit. I visited front entrance place and seemed good.

A beautiful church. Unfortunately there is a little construction outside which you may care when you take photos. Couple cafes and restaurants around the church, it is nice to sit there and enjoy the architecture.

The skyview from up the dom is absolutely perfect. You'll see both the old and new city while catching a breath from walking the stairs. Keep in mind; the staircases are very small, long and steep. Be warned if this could be an issue for you.

Beautiful and simple inside, grandiose ans unique outside.

Great sight, must visit🥰 Make sure you walk up the 533 steps of the tower and admire the view (only 5€ or discount might apply)

Very cool looking cathedral. It kind of looks like it's burnt with the unique color choice. It's a near the water edge, so it's very easily accessible. Really a must see if you visit Frankfurt.

Beautiful church from the outside but pretty simple from the inside. Nontheless still worth a visit!

Make the most of your layover by taking an Uber to the old part of town and visiting this spectacular cathedral. Buy a ticket for a couple of euros and go up the tower for a 360 view of the city. (Believe me, if I can do it, you can definitely climb those many many stairs up to the very top) After the climb, it’s time to enter the cathedral. I found it to be the perfect blend of clean lines of the building which highlight the sculptures. Found the atmosphere inside to be peaceful and serene. Don’t miss the hidden chapel behind the quiet room. The small museum in the building is also worth a visit.

Beautiful cathedral in the old new town of Frankfurt

Kaiserdom of Frankfurt, one of the greatest and most beautiful catholic churches over Germany. With a unique style, more than 700 year's old, an epitome of catholic architecture, with a higher near to 100 meter, it's simbol of Frankfurt. I spend around 22 minutes going up from down to the tower, using an entry from outside of the church. I loved it ❤❤❤

The climb up to the top of the cathedral tower is worth it for the best views of Frankfurt. It’s a lovely sight to have the old market square contrasted with skyscrapers on the horizon. The church is grand and magical and this is ‘the’ must go to location if you’re in Frankfurt

3 times climbed to the observation platform. Very good! Beautiful view of the city and business centers. And also a cheap ticket. The price is 3 euros for an adult, and 1.5 for a student.

Quaint historical church with its own museum for €2. Wasn't able to see the sanctuary since they were having a mass at 12:30 on a Friday afternoon.

Amazing Gothic architecture church, in the heart of Frankfurt. The entrance is free. The atmosphere inside is amazing and so spiritual. A lot of infos about the history of the church can be found at the entrance. I definitely recommend this place for a short visit while u are in Frankfurt

Cathedrals are always impressive. This cathedral certainly does not let one down in any way. It is well worth visiting and can be seen in less than 30 minutes. Situated in the heart of Frankfurt and has interesting information in the front diagrammatically showing the damage during WWII and the repairs that were made. The interior is fairly modern appearing compared to most of the churches that we visited. There are around 300+ steps to climb for climbing up the tower. The stairwells are winding and narrow.

Breathtaking Gothic Cathedral. With its Medieval/Roman Empire air, it not only has the biblical paintings, scriptures and statues, but also carries the Frankfurter tradition, legacy and design. Amazing energy.

Beautiful church that's one of the key landmarks in Frankfurt. It's a pity there isn't much information provided within the church that explain the church background/history.

This is one of the iconic places in Frankfurt. Anyone can enter and the entrance is free of charge. The unique architecture in this cathedral offers an artistic nature to this building. There are many statutes and artistic works in the inside of the cathedral. It is located few meters away from Frankfurt Römer which is knows as city town hall.

Must see inside. The architecture is amazing, some historical facts is interesting.

Beautiful Gothic Roman Catholic Cathedral incredibly serene inside well worth a visit if to just drink it all it's atmospheric energy

This church is so beautiful. I was so awestruck . Totally worth a visit. The staff is very friendly. God bless this church

I loved it. This area is a family area with so many street foods and snacks
