About Frankfurt

Modernism meets history in Frankfurt, the financial center of Germany. Frankfurt is noted for its futuristic skyline, with 20 of Germany's 21 skyscrapers, including the recognizable Commerzbank Tower. Nonetheless, among this contemporary wonder, the city also exudes old-world elegance with buildings like the Römer, a medieval building spanning more than 600 years that has been used as the city hall. Frankfurt is a fascinating place because of its mix of old and modern, which lends a special quality to it.

Wander around the Altstadt (Old Town), where quaint squares and authentic German homes emerge from cobblestone paths. Perfect for a day of retail therapy, the busy Zeil shopping district presents a mix of exclusive boutiques and local shops. From the Middle Ages to modern art, the Städel Museum presents an amazing collection of European treasures for art buffs. Not far by, the Goethe House Museum offers a window into the life of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, one of Germany's most-known authors.

Frankfurt shines with its greenery as well; the Palmengarten provides a quiet haven right in the middle of the city. Exotic plants from all over the globe flourish in the botanical garden, providing a calm refuge from the city buzz. Parks and riverbanks in the city offer lots of chances for leisurely walks, picnics, and outdoor activities. Photographers will find superb panoramic views of the city available on Main Tower's observation deck. The city is renowned for its cuisine as well. Along with hearty German dishes, visit a traditional apple wine tavern and taste the local favorite, "Apfelwein," (apple wine). Featuring stalls offering fresh fruit, meats, cheeses, and international specialties, the Kleinmarkthalle is a food lover's heaven. Frankfurt has a great deal to offer any visitor, regardless of your interests—history, shopping, or just downtime. Its rich cultural legacy, active arts scene, and varied cuisine guarantee that your trip will be unforgettable.
