Fly to Frankfurt

On flights to Frankfurt from Sydney, you will be arriving in one of Europe’s premier financial hubs. After the destruction of the Second World War, Frankfurt was rebuilt as a modern city. 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.



Sachsenhausen, with its cosy, cobbled streets is a lively area home to many bars and tavernas, including more than 100 apple-wine pubs for which Frankfurt is renowned.

Enjoy a meal or a cocktail with a view of Frankfurt's skyline in the Main Tower's 53rd floor bar and restaurant.  Active visitors can experience a different side of Frankfurt with the GrünGürtel hiking trail. The 72km circular route trail starts at Nied and leads through Frankfurt's parks and surrounding countryside.

Fly from Sydney

Before you get on a flight to Frankfurt from Sydney, be sure that you’ve soaked up all that Sydney has to offer. Sprawling Sydney is sandwiched between the sea and the Blue Mountains. The highlights are in the east and around the harbour, which slices the city into northern and southern halves.

Circular Quay is on the harbour at the northern end of the Central Business District (CBD). It's the main ferry hub and home to the Opera House plus many restaurants, souvenir shops and street entertainers.

Sydney is arguably the world's most photogenic city. Sydney Harbour is lined with attractions, islands, beaches and National Parkland - as well as the famous Opera House and Harbour Bridge. But beyond the harbour happy snaps, there's a remarkable amount to keep visitors occupied. Children and adults alike love the beaches and wildlife, as well as the outdoorsy lifestyle.



The Greater Sydney area boasts over 100 beaches, from calm harbour strips to surf-pounded coastal icons.

Sydney is a laid-back city that can turn on the sophistication when required with stylish bars and restaurants. At the same time, many of the highlights – such as coastal walks or splashing in the surf – are free.

Sydney is also party city. Dance all night in Kings Cross, go for an arty vibe in the Inner West or drink cocktails by the harbour. Mardi Gras and the New Year's Eve fireworks are the events that the world knows about, but there is always something going on. It's easy to be chilled out in Sydney, but almost impossible to be bored.
