Frankfurt Travel Hub

Frankfurt on the river Main - or “Mainhattan” as it is lovingly dubbed by the locals - is one of Germany’s biggest and most cosmopolitan cities. It’s located in the heart of the country in the state of Hesse. It’s easy to reach from almost anywhere.

To most people, this city is about tall buildings, cool people and banks. In a way, that’s true. But it’s not the whole truth. If you look a little more closely, you'll find the good spots. I’m going to make that easier for you. So don’t believe the people who tell you it's not worth a visit.

I’ve lived in Frankfurt for many years. I know there’s a lot more to the city than what you see at first glance.

There are picturesque, old districts that invite you for a casual stroll, with cozy apple wine gardens (the city’s equivalent to beer gardens) hidden away in side streets.

And there are parts of the city with the modern, glossy flair of Germany’s financial center. Here are the cool clubs, the parties, the in-locations. Frankfurt is also famous for its trade fairs, most notably the IAA (Automobiles) and the Book Fair – but there are many more that bring hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.
