Frankfurt is one of Germany's most significant and historic cities, emerging in the country's center. Its roots go back to Roman times when the area developed into an important trading hub in the Middle Ages. Over the years, Frankfurt has been a centre of justice and governance, and it is here that the first bank in Europe was founded in the 17th century. In the 19th century, it emerged as a modern city, earning the nickname “Mainhattan” due to its architecture of tall buildings emerging on the banks of the River Main that resembled Manhattan. Despite the devastation of World War II, it is recovering and evolving into a modern hub of culture and technology, thrilling visitors with its diverse character and attractions that make it a destination worth exploring.
