Frankfurt Overview
Frankfurt, a central German city on the river Main, is a major
financial hub that's home to the European Central Bank. It's the
birthplace of famed writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, whose former home
is now the Goethe House Museum. Like much of the city, it was damaged
during World War II and later rebuilt. The reconstructed Altstadt (Old
Town) is the site of Römerberg, a square that hosts an annual Christmas
market.
