The city on the Oder impresses with its significant cultural heritage and its direct proximity to the Polish town of Słubice, which creates an inspiring, cosmopolitan atmosphere. Architectural highlights include the Gothic St. Marienkirche with its famous medieval stained-glass windows and the renowned Kleist-Museum, while the Peace Bell on the riverbank promenade invites visitors to linger. River cruise ships dock at the central Holzmarkt pier directly on the picturesque Oder promenade. Thanks to this prime location, guests can easily reach the historic city center and the prominent city bridge to Poland within just a few minutes' walk.
Frankfurt (Oder) serves primarily as a docking point for river cruises on the Oder, which allow for a picturesque journey through the river landscape. The berths are generally easy to reach and provide an uncomplicated starting point for your cruise.
