Frankfurt - Mainhatten and Eppelwoi

History and Goethe, Finance and Skyline
Frankfurt was first mentioned in records in 794. The vibrant city situated on the River Main was once the coronation city of Roman-German Emperors and the cradle of German democracy. Today “Bankfurt” is one of the most important financial centres in Europe. Along with Germany’s largest banks, the European Central Bank, the German Central Bank and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange are also located in Frankfurt mostly in one of the numerous skyscrapers which form an impressive skyline. A charming contrast to the skyscrapers is the historic Frankfurt with its Altstadt (old town) gathered around the Römerberg one of the most famous city squares. Here you will be able to view Frankfurt’s Rathaus (city hall), the 14th century Römer (town hall) as well as the Imperial Cathedral St. Bartholomew and the famous Paulskirche or St. Paul’s Church. The urban district of Höchst also offers a heritage-protected town centre worth visiting. The bridges crossing the River Main are architecturally spectacular. The numerous museums along the banks of the Main offer a unique cultural mile inspiring art appreciation. The splendour of the Old Opera House represents another cultural highlight. Fans of literature from all corners of the world pilgrimage both to the Goethe House, dedicated to Frankfurt’s most famous son, the poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and the world renowned Frankfurt Book Fair. Tourists and bankers alike usually land at Frankfurt Airport one of the largest airports in the world which is located approx. 12 km (or 7.5 miles) outside the Main metropolis.

Walking and Shopping
Visitors to Frankfurt are always surprised by Frankfurt’s wide green belt. The well-maintained parks and the city forest offer stressed bankers and stock brokers the opportunity to unwind. Fascinating flora from all over the world can be discovered in the Palm Garden. Frankfurt’s most popular shopping mile is known as the “Zeil”. Somewhat more exclusive is the nearby Goethestrasse offering a variety of shops carrying luxury brands.

The Placid Metropolis
Frankfurt’s lively global flair unites it naturally with traditional cosiness. People from all over the world gather in the historical alleyways drinking cider known in Frankfurt dialect as “Eppelwoi”. The fruity-tangy apple cider is served in proper style in a jug known as “Bembel”. Another institution in Frankfurt is the Hotel Frankfurter Hof including its Restaurant Francais, an exclusive dining location boasting 18 from 20 Gault Millau points and a Michelin star. An attraction of a different sort can be found in The Ivory Club. As well as a colonial style Indian atmosphere, the guest will enjoy flame throwers, illuminated tusks, doorman and a Guest Relation Manager as well as a parking service. Kick off a long Frankfurt evening with cocktails in the Bar Main Tower with its spectacular view from the 53. floor.
