Frankfurt

Often seen only as a transit hub or a business centre, Frankfurt is so much more. Boasting Germany’s most spectacular skyline, mirrored in the Main River, and Europe’s tallest office building, it’s the country’s most international town.

Today’s city is a mishmash of papier-mâché past and Gotham-city present, with the banking district’s glittering skyscrapers. But despite this much of the historical centre has been painstakingly reconstructed, and although the effect can be a little theatrical and one-dimensional it’s preferable to the bald streetscapes and brutal concrete creations that went up in the 1960s.

Frankfurt is more than the apparent: You can find tradition and history that lies around every corner, surprising insights in urban districts that express a completely different side of the Main Metropolis. Homelike pubs offering Ebbelwei (Apple Wine) and Green Sauce show the cosiness of this Main Metropolis. And even the arts are transforming the city into a cultural destination to rival Berlin, especially the riverside precincts.

As you will see soon – Frankfurt and its surrounding has something for everyone.
