The Römerberg is the town hall square in Frankfurt am Main and has been the centre of the old town since the High Middle Ages . The name comes from the Haus zum Römer , or Römer for short , which has served as the town hall since the 15th century. Located roughly in the center of Frankfurt's old town, the square has been and continues to be the site of important events, like the imperial coronations of the early modern period, Frankfurt trade fairs, the Frankfurt Christmas markets or large social and political rallies. The historic buildings on the Römerberg, including the Römer, the Ostzeile (consist of Zum Engel, Goldener Greif, Wilder Mann, Kleiner Dachsberg-Schlüssel, Großer Laubenberg and Kleiner Laubenberg), the Alt-Limpurg, the Löwenstein, the Samstagsberg, the Alte Nikolaikirche, the Old St. Nicholas Church and the Fountain of Justice, mostly constructed with styles of Gothic and Baroque, were largely destroyed in the air raids on Frankfurt in 1944. The square's current appearance is the result of reconstructions that are true to the original and new buildings in the 1950s and 1980s. Römerberg is beautiful all year round, but it truly comes alive during the Christmas season when it hosts one of Germany’s oldest Christmas markets. In case you aren't a fan of excited crowds, early mornings or late afternoons could be ideal, as usually less busy. Spring and fall offer mild weather and normally fewer tourists, making it a nice time to explore the square at your own lifestyle and pace Whether you’re exploring the historical buildings, enjoying a meal at a local café or simply soaking in the atmosphere, a visit to Römerberg is sure to be a memorable and unforgettable experience.

Main sightseeing area of Frankfurt. NOT busy Mon to Thurs. Busy from Friday afternoon to Sunday. Beautiful plaza with Frankfurt’s City Hall (Römer), Fountain of Justice (Frankfurt’s 1st fountain), and newly rebuilt half-timbered houses. Near Römer U-Bahn (subway) Station. Tourist Info. Office is just next to the Römer. Great starting place for sightseeing Frankfurt’s Old Town (Innenstadt). Frankfurt’s Main Cathedral (St. Bartholomew)/Neue Altstadt & Iron Bridge are within 2 blocks (though in different directions), St. Paul’s Cathedral is about 3 blocks away, and Kleinmarkthalle is about 4 blocks away. Other tourist spots like Alte Oper, Main Tower (viewing platform on 54th floor), Willy-Brandt Square (has giant € - sign), My Zeil (shopping mall), Sachsenhausen & Museum Ufer are farther away but still walkable from Römerberg. Tip: If you want to save €, don’t stay in Römerberg. Stay in a good area of Frankfurt like Westend, Messe, Sachsenhausen, etc. for 1/2 -1/3rd the Römerberg area price. Take public transport into Römerberg for €7.10/day (Ticket is called “Tageskarte.”). We stayed at the Premier Inn Frankfurt Westend & total transport time (including walking to the subway = U-Bahn) was 15 minutes. Our hotel rate was €65-70/day (depending on the day), double occupancy & flex rate. We LOVED that hotel too.

I went here on a Monday afternoon, and it was pretty packed. I'm giving it 4 stars purely based off the fact that I like to take pictures and the amount of people made it hard to get good pics, I managed to get a couple despite the amount of people. I know that really isn't that great of a reason to bump it down a star, but I wish that I was able to get some better pictures. If you don't care much about the picture aspect of things and more care about the atmosphere, this is definitely the place to go. Good food all around, might be a couple of street performers around, lots of people to spark conversation with. The buildings in the square creat a cool contrast with the newer skyscrapers behind them, making a nice view that you can get if you find the right angle. Would strongly suggest going here on a weekday if you have the chance, because if it was that busy on a Monday afternoon I couldn't imagine how bad it would be on a weekend. All in all, I'm glad I stopped by this square for a quick bite to eat and a couple pictures.

2023/Jul We visited Frankfurt am main Roma square on 2013/Jul while long transfer air flight from Norway to Taiwan. We visited famous Roma square and Main area enjoy the historial architecture of building and Cathedrals, and cross over the walking Iron Bridge which is one of the cross bridge of Main river. Where you can enjoy the great view of two sides about river, boats and historical buildings, the most important thing is there are full of love locks attached to a bridge railing. Luch time, we went to the famous German restaurants Zu den 12 Aposteln, we ordered their home made beer, apple wine, traditional German food Schweinshaxe (roated pig knukle), Sausage, fried pork with sour vegetable, the service and taste are fatastic, whole family enjoyed and like the restaurants and food very much, after lunch, we hired a taxi waiting outside to drive us to airport, as there is no speed limit, it reached 180 km/hr sometimes on the highway, it was also one of exceptional experience that we never have in Taiwan.

Excellent place to visit during the Christmas Market season. Even though Frankfurt is a more modern, commerce/business city, there’s plenty of charm throughout. Römerberg is a great example of that charm. We came here in December during the Christmas Market and was blown away by just how big that market was - it stretches over several plazas and many streets. This part is the epicenter of it all, and the buildings are just magical. Apparently the area was rebuilt after the bombings during WWII, but you wouldn’t really know with how well everything has been restored. Word of advice: visit the Christmas market during the day, as it gets VERY busy at night (especially on weekends). It can be very difficult to get through the crowds on Saturday, and Sundays almost everything in Frankfurt is closed - except this market (so you can imagine how busy it is).

Cool historic square. We enjoyed visiting the Romerberg square today. We got here early this morning and the square was pretty empty. Then after a 100 minute Main River cruise, we came back to the square and it was jam packed. The storefronts are really beautiful. We went into one shop to buy some souvenirs. There was some sort of celebration going on today. I think it was for a school fraternity. There were older alumni there as well as young students. Setup for this was a beer wagon and brat cook. We got in line and ordered beers and brats. There were a number of rows of picnic tables setup for this even and we found space there to eat/drink. There was a band made up of older and younger people. It was nice to eat and listen to the music. Romerberg square is a must-see when in Frankfurt.
