Frankfurt am Main is a major metropolis in the centre of Germany and one of the most important financial centres in Europe. The city is home to the European Central Bank, the Deutsche Bundesbank and numerous international banks and companies. The characteristic skyline of the Main metropolis, which is largely characterised by the presence of striking skyscrapers, has earned the city the nickname ‘Mainhattan’.

Frankfurt am Main is not only of significant relevance from an economic perspective, but also has a multitude of cultural facets. Many art and theatre events, interesting museums located directly on the Main, the new old town and the old houses on the Römerberg as well as the house where Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was born are also worth seeing. The Main runs through the city and gives it an open, urban flair. Frankfurt is a major transport hub with an airport and a dense rail and motorway network.
