Opera House at night

Agnes Szczurowska

Frankfurt am Main, also known as Mainhattan and Bankfurt, is a rich city in central Germany with 650.000 inhabitants. For many travellers coming from overseas it will be the first point of call in Europe, because of its airport, the leading freight airport in Europe and largest in terms of passengers on the european continent. Frankfurt is a city with two faces: on the one hand it is the cut-throat financial capital of Germany and on the other it is a civilized place which spends more per year on the arts than any other city in Europe. And although other German towns have done a better job in preserving their beautiful traditional city centres, a stay in Frankfurt will permit you to discover a very lively and international city with many things to do, both during daytime and at night.

In fact, Frankfurt is a thriving cultural centre for the whole of Hesse, with a good selection of theatres and galleries, and an even better range of museums, amongst them some architectural highlights. Over half of the city, including almost all of the centre, was destroyed during world war II and the rebuilders opted for innovation rather than restoration. The result is a skyline that smacks more of Chicago than of Germany.

Each year, Frankfurt hosts a multitude of overseas and domestic visitors. It is a dynamic European metropolis and a melting pot of cultures, languages and lifestyles. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the most famous German writer, was born in this liberal-minded city almost 250 years ago. More than 150 years ago the city was the centre of the German parliamentary movement of 1848/49 and the meeting place of the "Frankfurt National Assembly” which was of historical importance for the democratic development of Germany. In 1948 it was Frankfurt, where the first steps were taken to found the Federal Republic of Germany.

The city is spread out on the banks of the Main river, the biggest part of town lies on the north bank. The city centre is located east of the central train station, this is where most banks and other institutions are as well. The south bank is known as Sachsenhausen and is very nice to explore. Most of the museums are located on the Museumsufer, the south bank of the main, near the city centre. Römerplatz is the place where the old medieval heart used to beat and a good spot from which to explore the historical buildings of that area, such as the Römer and the St. Bartholomäus church.

If you have more time to spend, Frankfurt is a perfect starting point for daytrips up the Rhine river towards Rudesheim or Heidelberg and only a 30 minutes train trip away from Wiesbaden, Mainz or Marburg.
____________Sights
Edit This
Frankfurt can compete with major other cities in the world. Although it is the ruthless financial centre of Germany on the one hand, it sure has an impressive cultural and artistic site on the other hand. Especially around the Museumufer (Schaumainkai), the south bank of the Main river, you’ll find an impressive array of museums. Make sure you pay a visit to the Jewish museum, to name only one of them. The heart of the old medieval centre is at Römerplatz, surrounded by several impressive buildings and famous churches such as the St Bartholomäus church or the Dom.

St. Pauls Church
Edit This

The "Paulskirche" is not only a building in Frankfurt but also an institution in German history. It was here, where in 1848 the first German parliament met to formulate a German constitution. The church itself, build, like a rotunda, was designed by Johann Andreas Liebhardt in 1787 in late classicistic style. The building is used nowadays as a venue for meetings, price-giving ceremonie setc. A couple of years ago, the large bronze bell in the tower fell down. Fortunately nobody was crushed by it, so that people could afford to remain silent about this somewhat embarrassing incident.

___________Nightlife and Entertainment
Edit This
The nightlife of Frankfurt is based on an excellent melange of beer-gardens, bars and discos. As one might expect of a city that has the allure of an international one, there are discos and bars that offer music according to every taste, whether you’re more into African or Latin American music or popular jazz or techno. Besides that, the gay and lesbian circuit is flowering as never before. The best quarters to go to, when you’re looking for a good night out, are in the northern part of the centre around ‘Fressgasse’, Zeil, Römerberg and Sachsenhausen.
