Frankfurt is a fairly unique city within Europe in geographic terms. Nestled in a shallow valley at the foot of the Taunus mountains and cut in two by the Main river, Frankfurt benefits not just from a pleasant climate (more on that later). It also makes for a pretty stunning view (and a romantic date idea)! The relatively clean air, riverside flai...
This is often one of the first things that travelers to Frankfurt notice upon arriving. And it usually doesn’t end well for them. “I’m in the wrong city!” Yep, it happens. Frankfurt is quite famous for it. Or, shall I say, they arefamous for it? Let’s get rid of the confusion once and for all: this guide concerns Frankfurt am Main, i.e. the Frankfu...
Germany sitting right in the heart of Europe has obviously been the stage for some of the continent’s most significant chapters of history. But many don’t quite realize the importance and rich legacy of Frankfurt within that larger history! Frankfurt is known for being one of the oldest settlements in what we now call Germany. The area that now cov...
As I mentioned just now, Frankfurt was first settled in what is now known as the Old Town. Visiting it today, you’ll see the quintessence of Central European vintage: those charming half-timbered houses, Protestant churches, and cute public markets that almost seem right out of a fairy tale. The Old Town remains one of Frankfurt’s greatest attracti...
Even if stopping by Frankfurt has never crossed your mind, as an avid traveler you are very likely to have spent some hours here or there in the city anyway over the years. That’s because whether by road, rail, or plane, Frankfurt is one of the largest global hubs of passenger and cargo traffic. Frankfurt’s airport is the 4th busiest in Europe, and...
While Berlin remains the quintessential nomad capital within Germany due to its sheer size, affordable high-quality living, and cultural appeal, Frankfurt is actually one of the most diverse places in the whole country! For example, Frankfurt is home to a huge Korean and Sri Lankan community, some of the largest outside of their home countries worl...
Frankfurt is the cultural and economic capital of Hesse, one of the sixteen states of Germany. Hesse is known for its distinctive dialect, which many say sounds slurred or even drunk when spoken quickly. Of course, genuine Hessian is rare these days, even more so in downtown Frankfurt. Most Frankfurters rather use an accent of Standard High German ...
Equally as distinctive as the local dialect is Frankfurt’s cuisine. The number one beverage frequently consumed by Frankfurters is Apple Wine, a unique kind of cider made from sour apples specifically. Compared to ciders popular in North America and other parts of Europe, Apple Wine is relatively strong, with a usual alcohol content of at least 5%,...
Berlin has its famous Museumsinsel, the “Museum Island” housing some of Europe’s most significant collections of artworks and cultural artifacts. By contrast, Frankfurt is known for the Museumsufer, literally “Museum Shore”. Instead of an island packed with six of the world’s most renowned institutions, Frankfurt ups the ante with a whole sixteen e...
There are many reasons why some jokingly refer to Frankfurt as “Mainhattan”. There’s the very American clash of low-rise residential areas flanked by huge skyscrapers downtown. The climate, roughly similar to that of New York, also plays a role. The prevalence of yellow taxis and fancy hotels surely doesn’t hurt. But by far the biggest reason is th...
