Frankfurt, officially Frankfurt am Main, is a metropolis and the largest city of the German federal state of Hesse. It is the fifth-largest city of Germany after Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and Cologne. Welcome to the most international city in Germany, the largest financial center on the continent, the historical city of coronations, the city of Goethe and the Frankfurt School. On the River Main (a tributary of the Rhine), it forms a continuous municipality with the neighboring city of Offenbach am Main. The city is culturally and ethnically diverse, with around half of the population, and a majority of young people, having a migration background. Whether this glance at the city’s home page is the start of a longer, maybe even permanent, stay on the banks of the Main, or if, as a business visitor, you only have a limited amount of time available: you will find that the city has interesting offers for extensive tours of the city, cultural enjoyment and attractive shopping trips waiting for you.
