Talking about Christmas is for me talking about candles too 🥰
These wonderful candles are available at the Christmas market at the Römerberg location.
Römerberg can be reached by walking from Hauptwache or you can take the underground (UBahn) U4 and U5 from Konstablerwache and go out at station Dom/Römer then take the exit Römerberg.

Weihnachtsmarkt (some cities have different names for their Christmas Market) is a german Christmas tradition that is very popular in most part of Germany.
Frankfurter Weihnachtsmarkt is one of them!
The main venue every year is the Römerberg which is the center of the Old city (Altstadt). There are other 5 locations around the city center and they are all lovely and wonderful too.

The Roman Forum is the only square in the modern cityscape of Frankfurt that still retains the face of the medieval streets. It is also the most important symbol of Frankfurt. As a rare ancient building left after World War II in Frankfurt, it is home to countless tourists from all over the world. When we came, it was on Christmas Day, and the squares decorated with festive decorations were particularly "enchanting." The stream of people flowing constantly makes the whole square lively and extraordinary. One of the biggest attractions in the Roman Forum is the bronze statue of the Justice Goddess in the center. This costume beauty holds the balance and symbolizes fairness and justice. The fountain below the statue is said to have been filled with red and white wines when an emperor crowned it.

Römer Square | The joy and noise in front of the city hall
Frankfurt's Römer Square was built in the Middle Ages. The Goddess of Justice in the center of the square, holding scales and a sword, faces the city hall, as if constantly sounding an alarm to the staff across the street!
Germany's city halls all have the function of handling marriage registration, so there are constantly newlyweds coming in and out of the door, and some newlyweds even arrange the celebration ceremony directly in the center of the square. (See picture 4⃣️-6⃣️)
There seems to be a ⚽️ match that day, and a large number of fans gathered in the square. From time to time, someone would shout a few times, and everyone would immediately clap and sing along, which was very lively!
Looking at these groups of people who are having fun on their own, I can't help but wonder: Shouldn't the city hall be a quiet, serious, and solemn place?
⏳Play time: 1 hour
🚉Travel strategy: Take the bus to the city center Römer Square, which is within walking distance.

Frankfurt, the financial capital of Germany
This is the fifth largest city in Germany, with a long-term population of about 800,000. Here is the largest airport in Germany, the most concentrated skyscrapers in Germany, the headquarters of the European Central Bank, the four major banks of our country's industry and commerce, agriculture, construction, and transportation, as well as the German headquarters of major banks in other countries. This is the financial center of Germany and the European continent, Frankfurt on the Main River. This is a city where ancient architecture and modern architecture are perfectly combined. The Frankfurt Central Station has a history of more than 100 years. It must have had a particularly glorious period, but it is a bit down now. But its huge body is still standing there, and it is still in operation.
The Main River runs through the city, and the bridges on the Main River connect the two sides of the city. Standing on the oldest iron bridge, you will see the Frankfurt Cathedral and the modern architectural bank district on one side of the river. You will also see the museum district and the Three Saints Church on the other side. You will also see the newly built headquarters building of the European Central Bank in the distance, and the endless river water under the bridge.
The old Frankfurt Opera House is located at one end of the commercial street. From there, walking down the pedestrian street, you will see a street of luxury goods, Goethe Street. On the other side of Goethe Street is Goethe Square. Through the small street next to the square, you will return to the traditional pedestrian street of Frankfurt, Zeil Street. The street is lined with shopping malls and is a good place for leisure shopping. It's just that Germany's economy is really not satisfactory recently, and several malls have already closed.
Although Germany no longer has its former glory, and Frankfurt has lost its past style, the accumulation of so many years of history has still retained a lot, so Frankfurt is still a city worth seeing.

Other museums worth visiting include the German Architecture Museum, which focuses on architectural design; the Film Museum, which exhibits items related to the Lumière brothers and film history; and the Museum of Applied Arts, which displays over 30,000 items representing European and Asian decorative arts.

Frankfurt Roman Square
Frankfurt is one of the financial centers in Europe, so there are many business travelers and flights. For many people, their first stop in Europe may be here. If so, Frankfurt is a very good tourist city. Most of the historical landmarks are concentrated near the old town. The Roman Square is not too big or too small, half a day is enough.

The fourth stop of our Western Europe trip (Part 1): Today we arrived at the beautiful Rhine River in Germany, accompanying the Piazza del Popolo in Frankfurt. Piazza del Popolo is a square in Rome, Italy. This square is a huge oval-shaped square, close to the Borghese Park. The iconic building of this square is an ancient Egyptian obelisk.
North of the Roman People's Square is the Porta del Popolo, which means "People's Gate". It is the starting point of the Via Flaminia. Since the completion of the Via Flaminia in 220 AD, this road has connected Rome and the Adriatic Coast. Many tourists enter Rome through this square.
In 1589, Pope Sixtus V placed the Egyptian obelisk in the center of the square, which is 23.2 meters high. This obelisk was erected by ancient Rome at that time to commemorate the conquest of Egypt.
In 1815, Giuseppe Valadier added walls on both sides of the square, and also added a central fountain in the center of the square, as well as four Egyptian lion sculptures next to the obelisk. Sixteen lion-headed sculptures were added to the walls, which have special artistic value.
At the southern end of the People's Square, there are two symmetrical and unique churches: on the right is the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli, and on the left is the Church of Santa Maria in Montesanto. These two churches were built in 1658 by Pope Alexander VII, and the design master was Carlo Rainaldi (May 4, 1611 - February 8, 1691), an Italian architect of the Baroque period.
