Frankfurt's image is one of worldliness and openness.

Smart designers and fine boutiques are at home on Frankfurt's Goethestrasse and big fashion stores such as Appelrath & Cüpper and well-stocked shoe shops such as Görtz are to be found along the Zeil. The shopping boulevard is supplemented by a quadruple avenue of trees in its center. Here visitors who are exhausted from shopping can take a break before they return with their purchases to the Hotel Steigenberger Frankfurter Hof, which is ideal for this short trip.

A fascinating skyline as a business card
Pure luxury is also exuded by many of the striking skyscrapers on Frankfurt's skyline, which can be seen from afar. They belong to such financial institutions as Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank. The pride of earlier centuries is embodied by the Frankfurt Opera House and the Römer, Frankfurt's Town Hall in the city. The skyline is at its most photogenic when viewed from the Schaumainkai on the bank of the Main.
