About Frankfurt

Discover Frankfurt

Why visit Frankfurt?
Frankfurt blends a cutting-edge skyline with a compact, historic core, making it both a major financial hub and an easy city to explore. You will find towering glass buildings, leafy riverbanks, and traditional squares within a short stroll of one another.

What to expect
The city is centred around the Main River, with the reconstructed Old Town offering cobbled streets and timbered houses, and the banking district showcasing modern towers. Museums line the river embankment, while neighbourhoods like Sachsenhausen and Bornheim add a village-like charm.

Plan your trip
Frankfurt is one of Europe’s key gateways, with excellent rail and road links across Germany and beyond. It works well as a city break, a starting point for exploring the Rhine and surrounding wine regions, or a convenient stop on a longer European itinerary.

Experience Frankfurt’s everyday rhythm

Getting around
Frankfurt’s compact centre is easy to navigate using the U-Bahn and S-Bahn network for longer hops, with trams offering scenic rides along major streets. Walking connects most sights comfortably, while bicycles or e-scooters are ideal for following the river paths and reaching quieter neighbourhoods.

Local life & culture
Daily life here balances international business with relaxed local traditions, especially in residential districts just beyond the high-rises. You will see office workers, students, and families sharing the same parks, riverside paths, and cafés, giving the city a lived-in, approachable feel despite its global role.

Where to unwind
The banks of the Main River are the city’s outdoor living room, perfect for slow walks, jogging, or simply sitting on the grass in the late afternoon. Parks such as the Palmengarten and the green belt around the centre offer calm corners, especially pleasant in the early morning or at sunset.

A taste of Frankfurt

Street food & local specialties
You can sample local favourites in traditional taverns and casual eateries, especially in areas like Sachsenhausen and the Old Town. Small plates and hearty mains sit side by side, so you can try a mix of flavours in one meal without feeling rushed.

Casual & modern dining hubs
Central districts and shopping streets offer a wide choice of cafés, bakeries, and international restaurants, many located inside or near major malls. Menus often feature sharing dishes and tasting portions, making it easy to combine something familiar with something new in a single sitting.

Signature & scenic dining
For a memorable meal, look for restaurants with views of Frankfurt’s skyline or spots along the river that feel especially atmospheric after dark. Elevated dining rooms in high-rise buildings, and terraces near the water, turn a simple dinner into a relaxed way to take in the city’s lights.

Retail therapy in Frankfurt

Malls & lifestyle hubs
Large shopping centres along the Zeil and in the city centre bring together international brands, technology stores, and lifestyle outlets under one roof. These spaces often include cafés and casual dining, making them convenient places to combine errands, browsing, and a short break.

Markets & local crafts
For smaller labels and local design, explore side streets off the main shopping areas and neighbourhoods such as Bornheim and Sachsenhausen. You will find boutiques, galleries, and occasional markets where independent makers offer clothing, homeware, and unique gifts with a regional touch.

Evening retail scene
In the evening, central streets and malls remain lively, with illuminated shopfronts and late-opening stores on selected days. Seasonal markets and pop-up stalls often add to the atmosphere, and frequent public transport services make it straightforward to return to your hotel after an unhurried browse.
