Frankfurt, Financial district in Hesse, Germany
Frankfurt is a large city in Hesse on the banks of the Main River, known for its high-rise buildings and role as a European financial center. The inner city combines modern glass and steel office towers with reconstructed half-timbered houses around Römerberg square.
Between 1562 and 1792, German emperors were crowned in the cathedral, making the city an important center of power in the Holy Roman Empire. After heavy destruction in World War II, a new skyline with modern banking towers emerged from the 1950s onward.
The city is home to both banking headquarters and traditional apple wine taverns, where locals drink the tart regional beverage from ribbed stoneware pitchers. At weekly markets, office workers mix with residents while shopping for fresh produce and local specialties.
The airport is connected by direct trains to the central station and offers connections to about 300 destinations across Europe and worldwide. Most attractions in the old town and along the riverfront are easily reached on foot or by public transport.
The city maintains a roughly 70-kilometer green belt of protected forest, parks, and gardens surrounding the urban center. Goethe was born here in 1749, and his birthplace on Großer Hirschgraben street is now open to visitors as a museum.
