About:
The fifth biggest city in Germany, Frankfurt has attained substantial economic power – both within Germany and abroad – thanks to its position as a key transport hub and its status as a major venue for international trade fairs and other business events. Located in the middle of the highly productive Rhine-Main region in Germany, right at the center of Europe, the city is the financial heart not only of Germany but also of the European Union, pumping Euros into the world economy.
Frankfurt Photo Gallery
Just in the last 2 decades, Frankford has become quite the cosmopolitan international town, home to the Germany stock exchange and 350+ financial institutions. The architecture and tone is distinctly the American look, like a mini Manhattan. However, don’t be confused. Frankfort is still home to more arts and museums than most any European city other than Berlin. The airport is massive, only Heathrow is bigger. Downtown are FKK spas to enjoy if you want, but we’re taking you a bit out of town for the cream of the crop.
