Frankfurt

💡 About Frankfurt

Frankfurt am Main, the financial capital of Germany and the seat of the European Central Bank, is the one German city with a true skyline of glass and steel skyscrapers — earning it the affectionate nickname "Mainhattan." It is the beating heart of European finance and one of the continent's most important business hubs.

Yet beneath the modern towers lies a city of deep history. The Römerberg, Frankfurt's reconstructed medieval old town square, with its half-timbered gabled houses, hints at the city where Holy Roman Emperors were once crowned. Frankfurt was also the birthplace of the great writer Goethe.

As a major transport crossroads, Frankfurt hosts one of the world's busiest airports and the largest book fair on Earth. Its position at the heart of Europe has made it a wealthy, cosmopolitan and remarkably international city, where dozens of languages are spoken on the streets.

Frankfurt balances its corporate image with green spaces, world-class museums lining the Museumsufer, and the cheerful cider taverns of the Sachsenhausen district. It is a compact, efficient and surprisingly characterful gateway to Germany.
