Do
In the summer, a walk
along the river Main is a
nice thing to do. A lot of
people will spend a sunny
afternoon walking or
sitting there on a lawn or
playing frisbee or football.
It's a relatively quiet area,
considering it's in the heart
of the city. Nearby cafes
and restaurants allow you
to have a drink in between.
The only disadvantage is
that it can be quite
crowded when the weather
is nice; try going during business hours on a weekday unless you're looking for
a crowd.

State subsidized performances make this a relatively affordable place to see
high quality productions edit
