ABOUT THE CITY

Frankfurt is one of the most beautiful small cities in the world. Canals, world famous museums and historical attractions make it one of Frankfurt's most romantic and exciting cities. In Frankfurt, the life and culture can be characterized by the words tolerance and diversity. It has all the advantages of a big city: culture, nightlife, international restaurants, convenient transportation networks- while remaining a quiet town with no traffic problems due to the "water streets" (Canals) running through the entire city. The distances within the city are small and your destination can be reached quickly and easily. We recommend using a bike for a more authentic experience. (The city is also appropriate for bike rides, since it is flat and has dedicated bike paths.)
