Frankfurt

A city where skyscrapers meet storybook streets, Frankfurt offers a dynamic mix of the ultra-modern and the deeply historic. As Germany’s financial hub, it buzzes with international energy, yet it also treasures its past with sites like the beautifully reconstructed Römerberg square and the birthplace of literary legend Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Student groups can explore world-class museums lining the River Main, stroll through the lively Zeil shopping district, or take in panoramic views from the Main Tower. Just outside the city, day trips to the Rhine Valley or the fairy-tale castles of Heidelberg provide enriching contrasts. With its vibrant blend of culture, history, and innovation, Frankfurt invites students to experience Germany through both a global lens and a local heartbeat.
