About Frankfurt

Frankfurt is a river city in Hesse, a financial centre of glass towers beside a rebuilt old town, with museums along the Main and apple-wine taverns.

Frankfurt am Main stands on the river Main, and its cluster of skyscrapers, nicknamed Mainhattan, gives it a skyline unusual for Germany. The old town square, the Römerberg, with its half-timbered houses and the stepped-gable Römer town hall, was reconstructed after the bombing of 1944. The Kaiserdom, a red sandstone cathedral, was the coronation church of Holy Roman emperors, and the Paulskirche saw Germany's first freely elected parliament meet in 1848.
