Thought Frankfurt was just a financial hub? Think again...
Although Frankfurt is home to one of the world's largest stock exchanges and the European Central Bank, this western city, popular with business travellers, also has a lot to offer those who wish to stick around a bit longer. Located on the river Main, this diverse metropolis is packed with art, culture and history, which definitely makes it worth exploring. Frankfurt's new Old Town has been lovingly restored in the traditional style and offers tourists an idyllic place to shop, dine and roam, with its gardens containing remnants of a former Roman settlement. You can enjoy the view from St Bartholomew's Cathedral or the Main Tower's open-air observation deck. Or, wander along the Museum Embankment which includes collections of art, archaeology and architecture. After a trip to Goethe's House, home of Germany's beloved poet and author, why not spend a night on the tiles in its thriving theatre district?
