Welcome to 
Frankfurt am Main

Welcome to a city that combines warmth, cosiness and cosmopolitanism, a place where tradition meets modernity and every laneway, every riverbank tells its own story. Frankfurt is not only a meeting point of travellers from all over the world, but also a melting pot of cultures, flavours and innovation. Here, where the River Main unfolds its calm power, you will discover much more than just an imposing skyline:

With every step you take through our city, you will discover a little bit of what makes Frankfurt so special. It is our love of detail, our enthusiasm for new things and our respect for history that unites us.

From Frankfurt with love – Discover, experience and fall in love with a city that never stands still, but always offers a home.

On the last weekend of every August, Frankfurt celebrates its unique museum embankment. As one of the largest cultural celebrations in all of Europe, the Museum Embankment Festival attracts and enchants visitors from near and far with its colourful variety of programme events.

Open late into the evening, participating museums entice visitors with extraordinary cultural offerings, while numerous stages set on both banks of the River Main feature concerts of all musical genres, consisting of regional artists*, international live acts, DJs, bands and newcomers, who harmoniously combine to provide music-lovers with a summery festival feeling, a club atmosphere and a rip-roaring party mood.

Countless festival stalls offer high-quality arts and crafts and international culinary specialities. The River Main itself is at the centre of attention during the dragon boat races, the second-oldest competitions of its kind in all of Germany!

Moreover, make sure not to miss the antiquarian bookshop mile, the art meadow, the organ and choir mile or “Klang im Kloster" (Sound in the Monastery")

The sparkling finale of the Museum Embankment Festival is provided by a spectacular musical fireworks display featuring thousands of glittering lights illuminating the night sky high above the imposing Frankfurt skyline.
