Walked along the river and its surroundings in the morning. It was a pleasant morning walk. The train station is also within waking distance. Visitors can consider walking to the train station to have a look.

Walking in Frankfurt is an enjoyable activity. The best place for a nice walk is on the Main river banks. While walking, you may meet several curious ducks and taste some German food in the shops along both sides of the river. The best way to enjoy your walk is to get down any place on the riverbanks and walk until you find a suitable bridge. Go across the Main River on the opposite side and walk as long as you can in the opposite direction. Once again cross the Main River again, and return to the point where you started your journey.

I spent a bit of time walking along the river in the museum neighborhood. Very nice walkways, and a pedestrian bridge over the river with a great view. It was interesting to see the river cruise boats.

Highlight of the visit to Frankfurt was the riverside walk... Lovely trees and buildings, leading to a bridge with a wonderful skyline view...

No way you will visit the city and not go for a river cruise. It is lovely!!! It is a must to see! Cruises depart at each hour. Affordable.

Frankfurt is a very walkable city. One such beautiful walk is by the River Main. You could also take a cruise. But the Riverside promenade and the extended promenade with the huge trees lining it on both side and the crunch of the beautiful crispy leaves beneath your feet takes the walk to another level. It's no regular walk. You could also get a good run or just sit there and take it all in. Even the love lock bridge is over it.

One can enjoy peace by just sitting by the riverbank and witness the water slowly flowing to the west. The riverbanks in Frankfurt are full of buildings from different eras while upriver in Offenbach and Hanau for example, vegetations and birds of feathers give a different scenery.
Cruises ply upriver and downriver depending on the season.

There is a nice walk along the river, on both sides. There are also boat trips organized by companies to have a drink. Really wonderful views.

The majestic River Main boasts kilometres and kilometres of pleasant riverside walks in Frankfurt, with the two riverbanks having a great deal of parkland.

The river color was yellow and brown which indicated that there were a lot of sands. So not so beautiful compared with other rivers.

There are few attractions/cities along Main river, many historical sites worth visiting, Wuerberg, Bamberg, Nuremberg. Easier way is to follow cruise on River Main, typically, a 7 nights cruise from Frankfurt to Nuremberg or vice versa
