FRANKFURT - GERMANY! Throughout its history, Frankfurt am Main (pronounced
Mine) has been linked to international trade, commerce
and transportation. Today, the city is playing a leading
role in the European monetary union as the home of the
European Central Bank and the German Stock Exchange. It
is also a major transportation hub, the site of both Europe’s
second-largest airport and one of its busiest train stations.
Nearly 40 museums make up Frankfurt's cultural landscape.
Most of these museums are located near Romerberg or are
lined up along the southern embankment, called Museumsufer. The city has invested more than 200 million
euros in this museum landscape since the 1980s, and the
result is striking! Paintings by Old Masters and more
recent European artists can be seen at the Stadel Institute.
Modern and contemporary art is shown in the Museum fur
Moderne Kunst and the Schirn Kunsthalle. For a look at
Frankfurt's history, visit the Historisches Museum, Goethehaus
or the Judisches Museum. If you're interested in tropical
and subtropical plants, the Palmengarten is unforgettable.
