Traveler reviews
Cam Toby
★★★★★3 years agoAbsolutely loved this experience. Museumsufer is not just one museum but it's a street with different museums on it. Each museum has a lot to offer. Weekends it's free but not sure if all of them are free on the weekends. Definitely a worthwhile trip to take if you're ever in Frankfurt
