High-rise and Historical buildings -Europe's Financial Centre - Frankfurt, Germany

As I informed in my previous post I planned to spend my vacation with my family...

I was travelling from Porto to India via Frankfurt.

I would like share my journey starting from Porto Airport.. My fly time was at 8 am in the morning. I planned to go by metro to airport since I didnt want to disturb anyone on saturday early morning. But, as lucky as always my friend Anzul came to my home surprisingly to take me to the airport in her car. So, It started good...

Here comes the Porto Airport.. (I prefer Porto airport than Lisbon)

Departure side - Porto Airport...

I should thank my sister here... She only booked my tickets to India from Frankfurt.. I was generous enough to book my ticket from porto to frankfurt by cheapest airways (ha ha ha) ...

This was the flight (Cheapest airways) I travelled from Porto to frankfurt...

After arriving Frankfurt Hahn..

Since, I planned to visit frankfurt, the journey plan was perfect enough to spend good time to visit the europes financial city.. .

Frankfurt is the financial and transportation centre of Germany and the largest financial centre in continental Europe. Frankfurt Airport is one of the world's busiest international airports, Frankfurt Central Station is one of the largest terminal stations in Europe.



Frankfurt is one of only three cities in the European Union that have a significant number of skyscrapers. With 10 skyscrapers (i.e. buildings taller than 150 m (492 ft)) in early 2009, Frankfurt is second behind Paris with 14 skyscrapers, and on par with London which also has 10 skyscrapers.

So I planned to explore the important tourist areas..

Here comes the Deutsche Bank Twin Towers Eurotower, headquarters of the European Central Bank

Main tower : The Viewing Terrace..

Easy way to see Frankfurt: So, I just went up (200 meters height) and see the best view of frankfurt main...

Panoramic view of historical part of frankfurt... (Römer)

The Römerberg is the central square in Frankfurt's Altstadt (Old Town). For most visitors this is the first stop on their trail. In the area of the Römer, Roman settlements were established, probably in the 1st century; some artifacts from that era are found even to this day.

(Ostzeile)

(Römerberg)

(The houses were faithfully reconstructed according to the originals as if the dreadful night of bombing in March 1944 had never taken place, a night in which they all, along with the entire old part of the city, were destroyed.)

The view of Frankfurt’s bold high-rise architecture (from the otehr side of teh river) is just as attractive and yet very different.

Night view of some buildings..

Europian Central bank view at night..

Never miss the Römerberg and River side in frankfurt. Those are the most recommended tourist sopts... (Recommended by the best tourist)...

After visiting the Frakfurt, I just went to visit Abed in Dortmund. I will post abt the day with Abed in next post.

Until then take care everyone.
