Frankfurt German

Frankfurt German Overview

Frankfurt is Germany's fifth-largest city and the financial powerhouse of the country. Home to the European Central Bank, the German Central Bank, and many other financial institutions housed in vast skyscrapers, Frankfurt has earned the nickname "Mainhattan"-for both the Main River that flows through the city and its economic counterpart in New York.

But Frankfurt is also a cultural haven, with a history that spans more than 1,200 years. Today, the city spends more on cultural attractions than any other Germany city; visitors can take advantage of world-class ballet, opera, theater, and art exhibitions. Frankfurt also boasts more than 3,000 restaurants, an impressive variety of museums, countless bars and clubs, a zoo, botanical gardens, and much more.

When you combine the economic prowess, grand culture, fine dining, and impressive club scene of this amazing city, it's clear that this is a city worth a visit.
