Most of the people coming to Frankfurt, are on their way to going somewhere else, which is to say that they are changing flights at the mammoth Frankfurt International Airport. But if you are at the Frankfurt airport and NOT a transit passengers, then fear not: Frankfurt is the financial capital of Europe, and public transportation from the airport into town is as good as anywhere in the world. Its about 20 min train ride (S-Bahn) to the city centre.
Compared to other european cities Frankfurt has a modern skyline. It is served with a mixture of subway lines & Trams, but walking is not at all a bad option. The city’s core, emanating from the city hall plaza known as the Römerberg is compact, with enough shopping to keep you busy.

The Zeil – stretching between Konstablerwache and Hauptwache has the mainstream shopping. Head for the adjacent Goethestrasse if you fancy high-end and designer stuff.Walking along the paths on both sides of the river 'Main' is a nice experience. Most of the museums and galleries are flocked along the river and admissions to these are free.
Frankfurt is a cosmopolitan city and there are no scarcity of restaurants. It appeared to me that most Frankfurters eat everything but German when they go out. You can find all kinds of restaurants catering various budgets

Lastly, Frankfurt is the home of the European Central Bank , which sets monetary policy for the Eurozone economy. So checkout the Euro Tower before leaving Frankfurt ,you can’t miss the big euro symbol with 12 stars .
