Top five scenic routes in and around Frankfurt

Synonymous with being the financial and business hub of Germany, Frankfurt am Main is home to the European Central Bank and stock exchange, along with fin-tech startups, trade fairs, and motor shows. Unsurprisingly, it’s also home to one of the largest and busiest airports in the region, with world-class international airlines making regular stops.

But even with its heart of gold, Frankfurt manages to captivate with a side that’s at a different pace altogether, one that’s both quaint and enchanting all the same. A perfect marriage of old and new, futuristic skyscrapers are flanked by medieval old towns and breathtaking countrysides that provide a calming respite to the fast-paced city lifestyle. While Frankfurt proves to be more than just a city stopover or connecting route, those looking for country-side drives can venture out of Frankfurt into a traditional slice of Germany.
