A look at the city´s silhouette reveals what most people already know: Frankfurt am Main exudes cosmopolitan flair and style. The impressive skyline, characterised by the unmistakable Messeturm and numerous banking skyscrapers, has become “Mainhattan´s” unofficial city symbol.

Today, Frankfurt is home to the German Stock Exchange, the European Central Bank, the Deutsche Bundesbank and over 300 financial institutions from around the world, making the 1200-year-old trade and commerce city one of Europe´s foremost finance centres.

But not everything here revolves around money. Frankfurt, the “home of apple wine”, has in fact managed to retain much of its charm, serenity and old-town flair, especially the time-honoured going-out district of Sachsenhausen. And as a city of contrasts, Frankfurt continues to prove to one and all that there is ample space and opportunity for art and culture in the trade show and finance city of Frankfurt am Main.

Accommodating more than 2.2 million overnight visitors from over 180 countries every year, Frankfurt offers everything expected of a cosmopolitan city. Historical buildings, a renowned museum landscape, superb exhibition venues and countless sightseeing attractions, combined with numerous cultural highlights, international sporting events, superb nightlife locations and excellent shopping opportunities, ensure that Frankfurt visitors will not suffer even a minute of boredom – regardless of whether they are in town for business or pleasure.
