There are various explanations where the name \u201cR\u00f6mer\u201d derives from. The most likely explanation, according to the City of Frankfurt,\u00a0is that the name has something to do with Italian merchants who used to hold fares\u00a0here in medieval years. These oldest halls within the R\u00f6mer, R\u00f6merhalle, and Schwanenhalle, still look like they would have 600 years ago. The R\u00f6mer is actually a building-complex, consisting of nine houses and six courtyards. A place not to miss<\/strong>!<\/p>\n The\u00a0Frankfurt City Forest<\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0Frankfurter Stadtwald\u00a0<\/i>is one of Germany\u2019s most densely wooded urban areas. This forest is very popular among native Frankfurters, especially runners, cyclists and everyone who wants the adventure of a forest in a city setting. So, don\u2019t forget to explore this amazing forest since it is Germany\u2019s largest forest housed within a city.<\/p>\n If you want to do some window shopping<\/strong>, then you can\u2019t stop missing the Zeil: Frankfurt\u2019s version of Fifth Avenue. Here, department stores, retail chains, and specialty shops lure visitors to a leisurely shopping spree beneath spreading sycamore trees.<\/p>\n The Palmengarten botanical gardens are a leafy haven in the heart of the city. The gardens are a popular destination for locals and visitors alike since this is one of Europe\u2019s largest and most attractive botanical collections<\/strong>.\u00a0The pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance is the 18-meter-high palm house, the oldest and most famous building in the gardens. This iron structure was designed by architect Friedrich Kaysser and built between 1868 and 1869.<\/p>\n There is one thing you have to do in Frankfurt: Head to the observatory of The Main Tower for a panoramic view of the city\u2019s skyline. The building is 240 m and it is the 4th tallest building in Germany.<\/strong><\/p>\n What about a walk along, the embankment to the south of the Main River, the Museumsufer?
