Frankfurt

About Frankfurt

Germany’s economic powerhouse and central financial hub, fast-paced Frankfurt is rich in money and ambition, with luxury hotels, upmarket restaurants, a stunning skyline and a glittering nightlife. But the city has also evolved in recent years thanks to an influx of creatives moving in, bringing cool cafes and bars that have a more mellow feel. Top tip: For an Insta-worthy view, head to Eisener Steg (Iron Footbridge) for the perfect shot of the Frankfurt skyline.

But there’s a flipside to Frankfurt’s city living, as it's home to the largest inner-city forest in the country, with a Green Belt covering thousands of acres that offer peace and tranquillity. And you’ll find another natural wonder in Palm Garden – a magnificent plant paradise right in the heart of the city. Of course, Frankfurt is also famous for its Oktoberfest celebrations and colossal Christmas markets. The market is one of the largest in the country, and its setting on the Römerberg and St. Paul's Square make it one of the most picturesque, too.
