What are the best places to visit in Frankfurt?
Frankfurt is a metropolis of European finance, it is home to
the most important stock exchange in Germany, the European Central Bank of many
multinational companies. Best places to visit in Frankfurt are that it has the
second airport in Europe and a prestigious university.
Frankfurt is, at first glance, the city of the imposing
skyscrapers where European money flows are regulated (it is ironically also
called "Mainhattan" and "Bankfurt" by the Germans). This
cosmopolitan metropolis (the city has inhabitants of 180 different
nationalities and foreign residents represent 25% of the population) still
retains important traces of its past as an imperial city, such as e.g. the
carefully restored buildings of the Römerberg in the center.
It is a
fascinating city and the strong contrasts between old and new do not clash, on
the contrary, they make this city unique. Frankfurt is also the birthplace of
the great writer Johann Wolfgang Goethe (his birthplace is now an interesting
museum) and the strong cultural commitment of the city is manifested in the
many museums that overlook the banks of the Main. In the evening, the
Sachsenhausen area becomes a meeting point for the many clubs and restaurants
found in the characteristic houses of this neighborhood.
