About this ebook
Frankfurt is the most underestimated city in Germany. Dismissed for decades as a city of banks, airports, and trade fairs, it is in fact a city of exceptional museums — the Städel holds Van Eyck, Rembrandt, and the German Expressionists in one of the finest collections in Europe — a reconstructed medieval old town of surprising ambition, the birthplace of Goethe, and a riverside culture built around apple wine, green sauce, and a civic conviviality that the financial sector reputation entirely fails to predict.
In this complete travel guide, Sofía Kristiansen takes you through every layer of the city: the Römerberg and the extraordinary Dom-Römer reconstruction project, the fifteen museums of the Museumsufer embankment, the Goethe-Haus and the city's literary legacy, the Mainhattan skyline and the European Central Bank, the apple wine taverns of Sachsenhausen, the Jewish history of the Judengasse and the Rothschild dynasty, the Taunus hills and the Rhine gorge within an hour's reach, and the Frankfurt Book Fair that every October turns the city into the literary capital of the world. Frankfurt rewards the stop. This guide shows you why.
