With its surprisingly compact 248 square kilometers, the Hessian metropolis on the Main is technically a dwarf among Germany's major cities. This makes it all the easier to explore on foot. Whether it's through the forest paths in the vast city forest, which makes up nearly one-sixth of Frankfurt's area, or along rivers, streams, and historic city boundaries. Through nature reserves and over cobblestone streets in the shadow of skyscrapers. With stories as companions, cozy cafés and restaurants at almost every corner, and countless surprises that Frankfurt seemingly conjures up effortlessly time and again.
