Frankfurt am Main Frankfurt, a dynamic capital of business and culture. Tradition and modernity, business and culture, dynamic and serene, have never been so perfectly integrated in a city. The sparkling skyscrapers stand in stark contrast to the well-preserved historical skyline. Frankfurt is a fan, a combination of contradictions, a sphinx, worthy of every curious visitor to interpret. Frankfurt is home to European currency institutions, with Germany's most important stock exchanges, home to the Deutsche Bank Central Bank, the European Central Bank and the European Single Currency Union member states. The soil of the capital city has a cultural wonder, and numerous museums are scattered on both sides of the Main River.
