Even though Frankfurt is a large financial and trade center, the city is still relatively small. While it does have a subway, most of Frankfurt's historic sights are in or near the Altstadt - the city's Old Town - and can best be visited on foot. Frankfurt's inner city was reduced to rubble after WWII, but its most important historic landmarks, like the Alte Oper (former opera house), the Römer (city hall) or Goethehaus (Goethe's birth place) have been carefully restored.
