The City
With its towering skyscrapers and plethora of financial institutions, Frankfurt is often referred to as ‘Bankfurt’ or ‘Mainhatten.’ Yet behind this façade, lies a city of immense charm, energy and diversity. The city is home to an extensive collection of exceptional museums, with art, architecture and sculpture particularly prominent. It should thus come as no surprise, that the birthplace of Goethe plays host to an extremely varied and diverse cultural scene.
Frankfurt is divided into districts (Stadtteile), the most notable of which include Bockenheim (university area), Westend (banking district), Bornheim (trendy district) Altsachsenhausen (old town) and Innenstadt (city centre).
