From mid-September to mid-October the city gets ready for the beautiful golden autumn. To get a good look at the spectacular autumn colours, head to one of Frankfurt’s sky-high towers and soak in the sight. Oktoberfest is also held in Frankfurt, it might not be as big as in Munich, but it is a celebration that kicks off mid-September and goes through the first week of October with plenty of exciting events, beer, food and music.If you are into Christmas markets then December is the period to visit Frankfurt: this is when the city hosts one of Germany’s largest Christmas markets.
