Introduction:
The largest city in Hesse and the fifth-largest in Germany—Frankfurt am Main is home to about 763,380 people (2019), and the entire FrankfurtRhineMain metropolitan region has as many as 5.8 million inhabitants. Also, Frankfurt is the city with the largest expat population in Germany. With its towering skyscrapers, the financial sector dominates the city’s skyline, which truly deserves its nickname “Mainhattan.” FrankfurtRhineMain offers diverse landscapes, historical and modern architecture, exciting history, relaxing spas, regional delicacies, and much more. The perfect mix for day trips, vacations, city or nature experiences can be found right here. Whether in the city, countryside, or on the river, everyone discovers what is special to them nearby. Alongside modernity and international bustle, there are plenty of contrasts that make Hesse’s Main metropolis a great destination.
Frankfurt’s beautiful new old town with its remarkable architecture invites you to take a pleasant walk or go shopping. Art and culture lovers get their money’s worth: more than 40 museums and exhibition halls and over 60 theaters and independent theater groups offer a great program. For art lovers, there is plenty to discover in Frankfurt, especially along Germany’s unique Museumsufer. Just one kilometer of the river is home to 13 renowned museums, including greats such as the Städel Museum and the German Film Museum. The museum scene extends all the way to the new Old Town on Römerberg: the Historical Museum, the SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE, or the MMK Museum of Modern Art are always worth a visit. In the middle of the city are numerous green oases, such as the Palm Garden. Whatever the weather, you can stroll through the earth’s climatic zones in the greenhouses here.

The best place to recharge after an eventful day of sightseeing is in a traditional apple wine pub in the Sachsenhausen district. Here you can enjoy green sauce and a glass of refreshing apple wine in a friendly atmosphere. Guests can choose from cozy restaurants and trendy bars, before perhaps heading out into the countryside the next day—boredom doesn’t stand a chance in the city on the Main.
Last but not least, the annual festivals attract visitors to Frankfurt. In August, the city celebrates its national drink, apple wine, and the Museumsuferfest is also very popular. The Museumsuferfest draws visitors from all over the world, celebrating the great collections lined up here like a string of pearls in a colorful cultural and open-air festival. In winter, a stroll through the traditional Christmas market on the Römerberg offers a pre-Christmas atmosphere.
