About the city

With just 700,000 inhabitants, Frankfurt am Main calls
itself a "small metropolis". As one of the main financial,
trade and logistics centres in Europe, the city is the hub
of a flourishing region in the heart of Germany, the
Rhine-Main area. It has a strong multinational and
multicultural character and attracts businesspeople,
students and tourists alike.
It is a city of striking contrasts - historical and modern,
commerce and culture, dynamism and tranquillity. Pubs
and restaurants, museums and parks, an opera house
and many theatres provide a rich social and cultural life.
Frankfurt has an excellent public transport system,
extending to the whole urban region and even to the
beautiful landscape of the nearby Taunus Hills. A large
number of fascinating natural and cultural heritage
sites are well worth visiting.
