Combining business and culture in a multi-cultural environment, Frankfurt provides visitors with a wealth of things to experience. It’s the fifth largest city and Germany and is much more than just the country’s financial centre. Located on the river Main in south-west Germany, Frankfurt is home to important financial institutions such as the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, European Central Bank and German Federal Bank. The city’s skyline is dotted with some of the tallest skyscrapers in Europe, earning Frankfurt the nickname ‘Mainhatten’. Cultural points of interest include the Gothic-style Frankfurt Cathedral, St. Paul’s Church and the Old Opera House. The city boasts a large number of museums, celebrated in the popular Museumsurferfest which takes place each year in August. The botanic gardens of Palmgarten are perfect for a relaxed stroll. And for a quicker pace, try the bustling Zeil shopping street or the large number of restaurants, bars and clubs throughout the city.
