Frankfurt is Germany's odd one out: a compact banking hub with the only real skyline in the country, nicknamed Mainhattan, wrapped around a rebuilt medieval Altstadt. Glass towers give way within a few streets to half-timbered houses, wood-panelled Apfelwein taverns and riverside museum embankments. It is efficient and business-minded by day, but has a scrappier, more offbeat side after hours around the station district.

L'ambiance et pour qui

Idéal pourbusiness travellers, transit stopovers, and short city breaks that mix skyline views with museums and old-town charm
Meilleure périodeApril to September for mild, sunny weather; spring and autumn are quieter shoulder seasons, while the Frankfurt Christmas Market (one of Germany's oldest) makes December worthwhile despite the cold
Se déplacerThe S-Bahn (S8/S9) links the airport to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof in about 14 minutes, running every 10-15 minutes; from the Hauptbahnhof the integrated S-Bahn, U-Bahn, tram and bus network (Rhine-Main Transport Association) covers the compact city centre easily on foot or a short ride
Où logerAltstadt for the rebuilt medieval old town, Römerberg square and easy sightseeing; Bornheim for a residential, café-and-bar feel along Berger Strasse away from the tourist core; Bahnhofsviertel for late-night bars and cheaper stays near the station, with an edgier, grittier character
À éviter sitravellers wanting a classic postcard German old town at scale — much of the historic centre was rebuilt after WWII and the city is smaller and more work-focused than Berlin or Munich
