Frankfurt am Main

Germany

Frankfurt am Main, often simply called Frankfurt, is a city where old Europe and modern ambition blend into one unforgettable skyline. Rising proudly above the River Main, this financial capital of Germany is famous for its futuristic skyscrapers, historic charm, and international flair. At the heart of the city lies the Römerberg, Frankfurt’s beautiful old town square, lined with half-timbered houses and the iconic Römer, the city hall that has served since the 15th century. Just steps away stands Frankfurt Cathedral (Dom St. Bartholomäus), where emperors of the Holy Roman Empire were once crowned. The nearby Eiserner Steg, a graceful iron footbridge across the Main, offers one of the city’s best skyline views — especially at sunset. Frankfurt is also a city of art and ideas. Along the river’s southern bank stretches the Museumsufer, a cluster of world-class museums like the Städel Museum, German Film Museum, and Museum of Communication. Each tells a story of culture, creativity, and discovery that gives the city depth beyond its glass towers. For a taste of local life, stroll through the Kleinmarkthalle, where the aroma of fresh bread, sausages, and Apfelwein — the city’s famous apple wine — fills the air. Or relax in the Palmengarten, a lush botanical garden that feels worlds away from the busy financial district. Modern Frankfurt is home to the European Central Bank and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, symbols of its global importance. Yet even amid the corporate energy, there’s a welcoming warmth — in cozy cafés, riverside walkways, and vibrant festivals like the Museumsuferfest and Christmas Market, one of Germany’s oldest. By night, the skyline of Frankfurt glows like a beacon of progress. But beneath its modern face lies a city deeply rooted in history, literature, and culture — the birthplace of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and a gateway to both Germany’s past and its future. Frankfurt am Main isn’t just a stopover — it’s a place to slow down, look up, and feel the heartbeat of a city that never stops reinventing itself.
