Frankfurt: EU's Largest Financial Centre

Frankfurt is the largest financial center in continental Europe, and is home to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, European Central Bank and Deutsche Bundesbank.

Unlike many in Europe, Frankfurt's skyline is distinctly modern. Despite this, the city still maintains much of its storied architecture. Frankfurt also boasts a rich cultural life, with festivals, museums, and performing arts.
