During the Second World War, Frankfurt suffered devastating bombing. As a result, the medieval city was destroyed. Fortunately, the town recovered fairly quickly after the war, and taking a modern profile. The reconstruction process led to the development of one of the subway system more efficient in Europe, including a tram system (S-Bahn) and a metro (U-Bahn). Frankfurt also has the tallest skyscraper in the European Union, the Commerzbank, which is also the second tallest building in the continent, after the Triumph Palace in Moscow.
Frankfurt is often seen as a city transit or a mall, but is much more than that. In fact, it’s thriving cultural center of the Bundesland Hessen, a large collection of galleries, museums, and some outstanding architecture. Although Frankfurt is far in size of London or Paris, it maintains its role in offering cultural activities.
Frankfurt is a city with two faces: one is the financial and competitive capital of Germany and the other is a good place to enjoy the arts, which devotes more budget than any other city in Europe. If you plan to stay longer, Frankfurt is a perfect starting point for excursions following the course of the Rhine to Rudesheim and Heidelberg.
