Fly to Frankfurt

Many historic buildings, notably around the old town, were restored, creating an interesting meeting between traditional and modern architecture.

Due to its skyscrapers and modern skyline, Frankfurt has been dubbed 'Mainhattan' – as it lies on the River Main. But as the birthplace of writer Goethe, Frankfurt also prides itself on its cultural life with an abundance of theatre, opera and museums.

Frankfurt is located in the Hessen district on the River Main, with the city centre on the north side of the river.

The buildings around picturesque Römerberg square were restored after the Second World War. The Alte Oper opera house and Goethe Haus are located nearby.
