Around 120 years ago Bornheim was known as Frankfurt’s largest red-light district. Today, it has evolved into a residential neighborhood that attracts young people because of its lively nightlife and plenty of options for dining and shopping. The most popular street in the district is the  Beger Strasse, packed with cafe’s, specialty boutiques and restaurants. Twice a week, it’s also a home to a Farmer’s Market, that’s organized at the square where you can also find the iconic landmark Uhrturmchen, literally translated to “the little clock tower.” However, you should also have a stroll through some less crowded side streets, where you can enjoy more greenery and pittoresque houses with flower-packed balconies. 

Ostpark is the largest park in the area, perfect for a peaceful afternoon with a view on a lake. Bethmann Park is also gorgeous, as it’s protected from the city buzz by thick walls and features a Chinese Garden, built according to the principles of feng shui. In the evening, you can enjoy one of the old school pubs, modern clubs or catch a performance in the Cabaret Theater.
