Given its skyscraper landscape, Frankfurt am Main is often referred to as "Main-hattan". Frankfurters take pride in their collection of high-rise buildings, and therefore the nickname is often met with a smile. An artist however, thought about taking the comparison to the next level. Who is known for prowling about New York's skyscrapers? That's right: Spiderman!Â
So here's the deal: there are seven Spiderman statues distributed all over the city - crawling down buildings or sitting on top of a balcony just waiting for the time to attack â they are where you least expect them.
In this post, I leave you the location of the most acrobatic of them all - you can find this hero climbing down one of the buildings on TaunusstraĂe. As for the remaining others... you will have to seek them out!
Let us know if you find them, and share your pictures on Instagram using the hashtag #spottedbylocalsfrankfurt.
