With its scenic high-rise skyline, diverse population and thriving business and cultural scenes, Frankfurt is one of Germany's most vibrant cities. Whether you're attending a trade fair, catching breathtaking views from the Main Tower or exploring the endless array of museums, shops and restaurants, a visit to Frankfurt is guaranteed to be memorable.


From soaring modern architecture to quaint medieval squares, Frankfurt effortlessly balances fascinating history and contemporary allure.


In the Altstadt (old city) you can visit historic Römer Square and enjoy one of the traditional pubs and restaurants. In the surrounding Innenstadt (city centre), you might explore The Zeil, Germany's longest pedestrian shopping street, or dine with the locals at one of the many upscale restaurants that line the parallel Freßgass.


South of the river, Sachsenhausen has waterside museums and food markets, while leafy and luxurious Westend offers green spaces and an exclusive ambience.

Frankfurt is renowned for its architecture, which runs the gamut from ancient to avant-garde. Visit the gleaming Main Tower for sweeping vistas across the city, the red sandstone St Bartholomew's Cathedral for Gothic thrills, and the splendid Römer City Hall for a dash of medieval history.

Art fans won't want to miss a stroll along the Museumufer (Museum Embankment), which includes striking museums such as the Städel Museum, the German Architecture Museum and the German Film Museum, among others.

Prefer to indulge in some shopping? Head to The Zeil, where department stores rub up against retail chains and niche boutiques. Slightly farther on is Goethestraße, which offers luxury designer brands.

Climb the 1090 steps to the top of the 56-storey Main Tower for jaw-dropping views of the city.

Absorb the historic atmosphere of the centuries-old Römerberg, whose buildings include the City Hall (Römer).

Head to the Städel Museum, whose impressive collection spans 700 years of European art.

Experience the array of tropical and subtropical plants at the Palmengarten.

Find retail and architectural thrills at the futuristic MyZeil Shopping Mall, located on The Zeil, which has restaurants and kids areas as well as shops.

Frankfurt's hotels cater for every kind of budget, style and location, whether affordable or upscale, riverside or close to the city's conference centres.

The area around Hauptbahnhof (the main train station) is characterised by dramatic skyscrapers and abundant bars, shops and restaurants. Hotels here are highly convenient for business and leisure travelers alike.

South of the river, the charming Sachsenhausen district is good for families seeking Frankfurter tradition, as is Westend thanks to its parks. To the northeast, Bornheim is a buzzy district with cafés, restaurants and a weekly farmers' market.

The city's great public transport system means you can get pretty much anywhere in and around the city within 30 to 40 minutes. Alternatively, pick up one of the red-and-silver Deutsche Bahn bikes; costs range from €0.06 per minute to €15 per day.

There's much more to Frankfurt than the eponymous sausage snack. The city's culinary scene reflects both its traditional heritage – local pubs and restaurants – and its current international demographic. Given the generally high standard of living, there's lots of fine dining too.

Much of the culinary action takes place in the Innenstadt (city centre). Here you can pick up fruit and vegetables (or a takeaway sausage) from more than 150 stalls within the covered Klein Markthalle, feast on local dishes at an Altstadt pub or tuck in with the locals along upscale Freßgasse.

Alt-Sachsenhausen, especially the tree-lined Schweizer Platz, offers local delicacies like Grüne Sosse (green sauce) and Ebbelwoi (apple wine). Bornheim is an increasingly popular district for weekend brunch.

Grüne Sosse: A herby sauce that's usually mixed with sour cream or quark and eaten with hard-boiled eggs or beef and potatoes.

Handkäse mit Musik: slices of cheese covered with raw onions, oil and vinegar, and served with bread and butter

Bethmännchen: Biscuits with marzipan in the middle and almond slices on the outside. They are named after Frankfurt philanthropist and banker Simon Moritz von Bethmann.

Apfelwein: Ebbelwoi or äbbelwoi in the local dialect, apple wine is made from fermented apples and is the best-known local tipple.

Schlachtplatte: This plate of sausages and smoked meats – literally a "slaughter plate" – goes particularly well with a glass of ebbelwoi (see above).

From vintage to budget, indie to luxury, you can find every kind of retail experience in Frankfurt – including some excellent shops for local handicrafts and souvenirs.

In the Innenstadt, The Zeil has abundant department stores, Goethestraße offers shopping from some of the world's most famous haute couture designers and Schillerstrasse has mid-range stores and plenty of gift shops.
