Frankfurt’s New Old Town, which was once Germany’s largest medieval timber-famed old town, is home to three winding lane-ways, a number of hidden courtyards, and a picturesque plaza known as the Hühnermarkt, consisting of an old fountain honouring the city’s famous dialect poet and one of Germany’s first democrats, Friedrich Stoltze, and more.
This new quarter’s virtual tour also features an archaeological site with remnants of Frankfurt’s very first settlements, among other things such as Goldenes Lämmchen, Rotes Haus, Kaiserpfalz franconofurd, and more.

Also known as the DomRömer Quarter, Frankfurt’s New Old Town was opened to the public in May 2018, after undergoing construction for at least six years. Since then, it has been visited by tourists in large number. However, for those who couldn’t get a chance to travel to this scenic location, before the complete lockdown, announce across the planet in light of deadly COVID-19 outbreak, this virtual tour is a way to explore the place from your couch.
The 7,000-square-metre area is home to only 200 people, who live in 35 houses. Moreover, the 15 reconstructions, and an additional 20 new buildings, are now the major tourist attractions of the town.
