Frankfurt: the economic center of Europe.

When flying from China to small European cities, there are often no direct flights. If you happen to fly Lufthansa, you will inevitably have to transfer in Frankfurt. This is my initial impression of this city. I think it should be Super cities like Dubai and Istanbul🏙️. But in fact, the area of ​​Frankfurt is only 248 square kilometers, which is not as big as the main urban area of ​​Shanghai. Viewed from the plane, the city is surrounded by dense countryside. It seems that... it is not that prosperous, or in other words, it is not as prosperous as you imagined. kind of prosperity. Two or three days are enough to visit this city. Day 1: Iron Bridge → Frankfurt Cathedral → Fountain of Justice → Old Town Hall → Roman Forum → Goethe’s Birthplace → Zell Strasse 💞The Iron Bridge (Eiserner Steg) is one of the most iconic attractions in Frankfurt. This is a cast iron bridge built in 1868. It was bombed by the Nazis on the last day of World War II. In 1946, the iron bridge was rebuilt , reconnecting the core area of ​​the city, also seems to tell the story of the great changes in the past hundred years. Today, the bridge is covered with concentric locks symbolizing love and peace. Standing on the bridge, you can see Frankfurt’s city skyline and magnificent churches at a glance. After crossing the bridge, on the north bank of the Main River is the city center area. The following scenic spots are basically in the same place. From the Iron Bridge to Zell Street, there are many cafes and snack bars along the way, and the architectural style gradually changes from Gothic transitions to modern glass facades. Zellstrasse is a commercial pedestrian street. You can see many street performers performing here almost every day🎭. Next to it is the MyZeil shopping mall, which should be the largest shopping mall in the city. You can get tax refund when shopping in it, which is quite affordable. Day 2: Frankfurt Old Opera House → Euro Tower → Stadel Museum → Main River → German Film Museum 💶Frankfurt is the economic center of Europe and the seat of the European Central Bank, so many people will make a special trip to check in the "Euro Tower" and soak up the "European spirit". Next to it is the Opera House and City Park. Walk across the river from here to the famous Städel Art Museum. When you are tired from walking, go in and enjoy the air conditioning, and have a conversation with people from a hundred years ago. 🖼️In addition to the art museum, there are also architecture museums, natural history museums, history museums, film museums, etc. It can be said to be a holy place for museum lovers. Many of the cultural relics in the collection are also heavyweight, such as Rembrandt's masterpiece "The Blind Side" "Samson" is located in the Städel Museum, the Natural History Museum has dinosaur fossils, and the Film Museum has a 1:1 model of "Alien"... But in the final analysis, the most unforgettable thing for me is actually the river that runs through the city - the Main River. You may not know that the full name of this city is "Frankfurt am Main". It is a modern but rich historical city that was born, built by the river, and developed along the river. Every weekend, many people will walk along the river. River walks🚶exercise🏄picnic🧺, return to the way life should be. I hope you can slow down here, forget about work, forget about worries, forget about clocking in and taking photos, and walk along the river like a local. I believe you will find something different.
