Situated on the banks of the River Main, Frankfurt is a city of contrasts: on the one hand, the highly modern and fast-paced financial district, on the other hand, cozy restaurants and apple vine yards in some almost rural districts. The city of J. W. von Goethe’s cultural life does not need to be hidden too. It is home to well-known museums such as the “Schirn” Kunsthalle, the “Städel” and the Museum of Modern Art. The Alte Oper, designed in neo-Renaissance style, is primarily used as a concert hall and contrasts with the New Opera House. With more than 200 years of history, the Frankfurt Opera and Museum Orchestra is one of the most traditional German ensembles. Let yourself be inspired by this modern, young and individual city.
