About Frankfurt

Frankfurt, where finance meets old-world charm

Frankfurt is Germany's financial hub, home to striking skyscrapers, the European Central Bank, and one of Europe’s busiest stock exchanges. Yet beyond its contemporary skyline, the city offers winding streets, restored timber-framed houses, and cosy riverside promenades that invite you to slow down and explore on foot.

Along the River Main, museums, galleries, and leafy parks give the city a relaxed, liveable feel. You can spend your day moving between modern shopping streets and historic squares, then unwind in a café or apple-wine tavern as the city lights reflect off the water.

Frankfurt is also one of Europe’s most connected cities. With a major international airport and extensive rail links, it is an ideal gateway for exploring other parts of Germany and the wider region, while still rewarding you with plenty to see and do within its compact centre.

This shoulder season offers comfortable conditions for walking tours, outdoor café visits, and exploring museums without summer crowds, with many cultural events starting to appear on the calendar.

Summer (June to August) is warm, with average temperatures between 20–26°C (68–79°F), and is considered the peak season.
