What's open on Sundays in Frankfurt?

Sunday in Frankfurt is quieter than most German cities of its size, but far from dead. Shops are closed by law, with the exception of pharmacies, petrol stations, airport and train-station retailers, and a handful of tourist-oriented stores in the Römerberg area. The Kleinmarkthalle, the city's beloved indoor market, is closed on Sundays, but the Sachsenhausen apple-wine taverns along Schweizer Strasse keep their usual hours and fill up by early afternoon. Most museums open on Sundays, including the Städel (10:00–18:00), the Museum für Moderne Kunst, and the string of institutions along the Museumsufer on Schaumainkai. The Palmengarten botanical garden is open daily. Brunch is taken seriously here: spots in Bornheim and Sachsenhausen draw long queues by 11:00. The main wholesale flower market at Konstablerwache runs Saturday mornings only, but a smaller Sunday flea market operates along the riverbank near Schaumainkai, typically from around 09:00 until early afternoon in warmer months.
