About Frankfurt

Since the Middle Ages, the former free city of Frankfurt on the river Main has developed into one of the most important European financial and trading centers. Today, 348 banks, including the European Central Bank, 148 foreign banks, and the world's fourth largest stock exchange, channel the flow of money. Everyday life here is international and multilingual, given that almost every third person in Frankfurt holds a non-German passport. Frankfurt's airport is an international hub, and its more than 45 million passengers a year make it the largest airport on the European continent. The Frankfurt Trade Fair, one of the oldest in the world, is also a global actor: be it the Frankfurt Book Fair, Music Fair, or International Motor Show, the fair grounds attract approximately 2.7 million visitors to Frankfurt in peak years.
