Opera Quarter (Frankfurt)

The Opera Quarter (German: Opernviertel or Opernquartier) is an area in the western part of the Innenstadt (Inner City) district of Frankfurt, Germany.

The Opera Quarter is defined as the area between the Old Opera and the central city square Opernplatz in the west and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the Rathenauplatz/Goetheplatz in the east, and is centered on the pedestrian main street Freßgass, its most important street.

The Opera Quarter is especially known for its many luxury boutiques, especially in Goethestraße, Freßgass, Kaiserhofstraße and Hochstraße, and for its restaurants and nightlife.

The Opera Quarter also includes office spaces and select residential apartments.

[1] The Opera Quarter is located within the larger central business district known as the Bankenviertel (Banking District), but it is generally characterised by relatively lower buildings as compared to the high-rise buildings found elsewhere in the Bankenviertel.
