Skyline views from Main Tower

This page is about the views I took from the observation platform on the roof of Main Tower, Frankfurt's 3rd tallest skyscraper and the only building with an observation deck in Frankfurt, despite the large number of tall buildngs. The platsform is located on the height of 200m. Main Tower was built in 1999 and is 240m tall to the top of the mast. The views are really impressive since Frankfurt has a lot of skyscrapers. The strange thing is that not a single plane was visible, because of the volcano on Iceland that made all flights cancelled the same day I arrived in Frankfurt in April 2010! Don't miss the page with night views from Main Tower.
