About Frankfurt

Discover Frankfurt

Why visit Frankfurt?
Frankfurt is a major European hub where modern skyscrapers meet traditional timbered houses, set along the Main River. You will find a compact city centre, a strong arts scene, and green riverside paths ideal for slow walks between sights.

What to expect
The city is known for its financial district skyline, the restored Old Town around Römerberg, and cultural institutions such as the Museumsufer along the river. Neighbourhoods like Sachsenhausen and Nordend offer leafy streets, local cafés, and an easy-going atmosphere just beyond the busy centre.

Plan your trip
Frankfurt works well as both a standalone city break and a starting point for wider journeys across Germany and Europe. Its central rail station and airport offer quick links to Heidelberg, the Rhine Valley, and beyond, making it simple to combine urban experiences with smaller towns and countryside.

Experience Frankfurt's everyday rhythm

Getting around
Frankfurt's U-Bahn and S-Bahn trains, along with trams, make it easy to move quickly between the main station, business district, and residential neighbourhoods. Walking is ideal within the compact centre, while bikes and e-scooters offer a scenic way to follow the riverfront paths.

Local life & culture
Daily life centres on cafés, bakeries, and relaxed neighbourhood squares where people gather before and after work. You can explore creative quarters with galleries and small venues, and observe how the old and new sit side by side in the architecture and streetscapes.

Where to unwind
Green spaces like the river embankments and city parks offer calm places to pause between museum visits and shopping. Visit in the morning for a quiet jog, or come in the late afternoon to watch the light change over the skyline before heading back into the centre.

A taste of Frankfurt

Street food & local specialties
You will find hearty local dishes in traditional taverns and casual spots, often clustered in districts just beyond the city centre. Simple eateries, market halls, and takeaway stands make it easy to sample regional flavours during a busy day of sightseeing.

Casual & modern dining hubs
Modern food courts and restaurant clusters in central malls and around office districts offer everything from quick lunches to relaxed dinners. Portion sizes often encourage sharing, so you can try several smaller dishes with friends or family in one sitting.

Signature & scenic dining
For a special meal, choose venues with views of the skyline, the Main River, or historic squares. Rooftop terraces, riverside restaurants, and well-known city institutions provide memorable backdrops for leisurely dinners or celebratory occasions.

Retail therapy in Frankfurt

Malls & lifestyle hubs
In the city centre you will find large malls and department stores that combine international brands, sportswear, cosmetics, and lifestyle goods under one roof. Many include cafés and casual dining, turning shopping into an easy social outing whatever the weather.

Markets & local crafts
Smaller shopping streets and neighbourhood boutiques are where you can discover local designers, homeware, and everyday essentials. Districts such as Altstadt, Bornheim, and Nordend reward slow browsing and unplanned stops at independent shops.

Evening retail scene
After dark, illuminated shopping streets create a lively atmosphere, especially around the Zeil and nearby lanes. Some malls and stores open later on selected days, and efficient public transport makes it straightforward to return to your hotel after an evening stroll.
