The Essential Guide to Frankfurt
Officially named Frankfurt-on-the-Main, this vibrant city is sometimes called “Mainhattan” after the Main River that divides it, as well as for its towering skyscrapers and reputation as a finance and business hub. It’s home to one of the world’s largest stock exchanges and the headquarters of the European Central Bank, but it also offers an array of cultural and culinary delights, including the medieval town square of Römerberg, several world-renowned museums, and cozy taverns serving hearty regional food.
