Germany's business central is a bustling city filled with contrasts. The century-old buildings coexist with the futuristic skyscrapers. Most of the tourists who visit Frankfurt are corporate travelers with businesses related to either the German Stock Exchange or the European Central Bank. The city hosts some of the world's most important tradeshows, including the Frankfurt Book Fair and the Frankfurt Auto Show. However, tourists tend to skip on the city's most beautiful districts. The neighborhoods of Sachsenhausen, Nordend, Bornheim, and Bockenheim still have well-preserved parks and streets that typify Germany's 19th century.

Frankfurt is Germany's largest traffic hub, with more than 650,000 people trying to commute each day. Getting from place to place may prove to be a slow process, but it's no ordeal considering you get more time to see the townhall of Romerberg, the cathedral of Dom, and the iron bridge of the Eiserner Steg.
