How to reach

By subway

Subway lines 4 and 5 take you directly to “Dom/Römer” station. Take the exit A "Römerberg". If trav­el­ling by streetcar, it is best to get off at “Paulskirche” stop.

By car

Approaching from the A5 inter­state, take the “West­kreuz Frank­furt” exit. If approaching from the B648 highway or the A3 or A66 inter­states, take the “Offen­bach/Kaiserlei” exit. Keep driving towards down­town (“Stadt­mitte/Zentrum”). Then follow the signs for “Park­bereich D, Dom/Römer”. A parking garage with imme­diate access to Frank­furt’s histor­ical heart is located directly under the Schirn Kunsthalle.

Tips

  • Buy your tickets online to avoid standing in long queues.
  • Avoid the crowds by visiting early morning.
  • Audio tours are available but only in German language, so its advisable to ask for guided tours at the hall.
  • Choose the art exhibits carefully as the prices are a bit high.
  • Check what's currently showing carefully because the banners may still be on for a while after specific exhibitions are already over.
  • Do avail the facilities of lockers to keep your bag and coat as it takes a few hours to visit the museum.
