Main information about Frankfurt

Basic information on Frankfurt

Population of Frankfurt

Frankfurt is the true center of the economy. If someone simply tells you where Frankfurt is located, specifically in southwestern Germany, it won't tell you much. But if I say that it is a city where billions of dollars are concentrated, it paints a different picture. Every second resident of the city is either a banker or a financial clerk. Just imagine, the city's symbol consists of two huge skyscrapers nicknamed "Debit" and "Credit" by the locals. And the Banking Quarter gives you the feeling of being in bustling New York or crowded Singapore. The gleaming mirrored high-rises take your breath away and serve as the home for thousands of stock exchanges in the city.

Frankfurt am Main

The most famous skyscraper in the city is the Eurotower, which also serves as the headquarters of the European Central Bank. Its symbol, the blue euro sign, is often used as an illustration in many financial news stories.

Frankfurt can be seen in its present state, but in ancient times, it was a place where kings were crowned. The city has an incredibly rich history. According to legends, Frankfurt dates back to the year 794, as we encounter the first mention of the city around that time.

Frankfurt am Main

But let's return to modern Frankfurt. As the business and financial capital of Europe, it transforms into a lively place for tourists to wander and for roaming beggars in the evenings. You can see dozens of beggars wandering the streets or sleeping in parks. On the other hand, travelers prefer to take a walk along the Museum Embankment at night, which entices with the smell of Frankfurt sausages and the bright lights of attractions and carousels.

During the day, the population of Frankfurt-on-the-Main enjoys strolling through the historic part of the city. And when it comes to shopping, they head to the enormous Main-Center.
