Let’s take time to discover it. Frankfurt has its own
congenial way of life, which Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Frankfurt’s
most famous son, summed up so well: “Here I am human, here I can be
myself.”
Frankfurt is a city of trade fair, a financial centre, a
transportation hub, a major European metropolis, but also a city of
intellect, of apple wine, of small-town friendliness, green spaces
and 180 nationalities.

Yet despite Frankfurt’s diversity it is still easy to keep an
overview of the metropolis. The distances one needs to cover to
visit colleagues or friends in the city are comparatively short,
while its excellent infrastructure enables visitors and residents
alike to reach even remote destinations quickly and conveniently.
Frankfurt is a city you have just got to get to know!
Getting round in Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main area is easy and
convenient, thanks to a mod
ern,
efficient and well-run public transportation system.
You can use streetcars (‘trams’), buses, underground and surface
rapid transit trains. The fastest way of traveling within the city
of Frankfurt is the “U-Bahn”, the underground train. There are
several lines covering a large part of the city, particularly the
central, northern and eastern areas.
The S-Bahn or Schnellbahn (fast-train) services many of the
districts not covered by the U-Bahn. It also serves many outlying
areas, including the Taunus mountains and other cities within the
region such as Wiesbaden, Mainz, Offenbach, Hanau and Darmstadt. The
local bus system completes the public transport network with
frequent stops ensuring that you are delivered close to you final
destination.
