Enjoy a day at leisure in resort, or why not join our optional excursion to Frankfurt Christmas Market? Frankfurt itself is the largest financial centre in Europe and is often called ‘Mainhattan’ due to it being a high-powered finance and business hub on the banks of the Main River.
Frankfurt is also home to one of the world’s largest stock exchange and its airport is the third largest in Europe. Despite all of this, the centre of Frankfurt is charming and traditional, with half-timbered buildings and cosy taverns. During this time of year, Frankfurt hosts one of the most traditional Christmas markets in Germany. The elaborately decorated stalls, huddled around the Römerberg and St. Pauls Square make this a Christmas experience you’ll never forget.
