Old Bridge

  Old Bridge, or Alte Brücke, sits gracefully over the River Main in Frankfurt, linking the historic Altstadt district with the vibrant Sachsenhausen area. Built in 1330, it boasts a rich history as one of the city’s key crossings and plays a vital role in both pedestrian and vehicle access. Measuring 170 meters in length, this stone bridge features distinct arches that have withstood the test of time and once served as a strategic entry point during medieval times. Visitors can enjoy a tranquil stroll across the bridge year-round, but it’s particularly lively during late summer months when outdoor festivals and events enliven the banks and nearby streets. Along the way, keep an eye out for the stunning views of the Frankfurt skyline, making it a great spot for photos and relaxation.
