Tourist Guide Frankfurt
Frankfurt is located in the south-western part of Germany and has a population of approximately 648,000 inhabitants. As the seat of the European Central Bank and other major German commercial banks, it is the financial centre of the country and has also been nicknamed ‘Bankfurt’.
Frankfurt sees extreme variations within each season. In summers, the temperature ranges from a cool 10°C to a very warm 32°C, with occasional rainfall. In winters, while the temperature sometimes is close to 10°C, at times, it can even fall to –10°C.
Frankfurt first came up as a Roman settlement 2000 years ago. It enjoyed tremendous prosperity under the reign of the Holy Roman Empire. Trade fairs and book fairs were first held here during the Middle Ages, a tradition that continues even today.
