Learn German in Frankfurt, Germany

Frankfurt owes its nickname, “Mainhattan”, to the famous skyline outlined by the skyscrapers that line the banks of the River Main. If Norman Foster’s Commerzbank Tower is the highest tower, go up to the panoramic terrace of the Maintower, on the 56th floor, for the best view of what has become of the former “Franconovurd” of Charlemagne. A market city since the Middle Ages, a financial capital and communication centre for modern Europe, Goethe’s birthplace is also an important university and cultural metropolis. Between the “Eiserner Steg” and the “Friedensbrüke”, the 13 museums of the Museumsufer form a magnificent cultural avenue alongside the water. With its narrow laneways, timber houses and café terraces that invite you to saunter along, life in the old districts of this cosmopolitan metropolis is rather peaceful. Take the time to try the famous “Ebbelwoi” cider with your friends and to choose, from the numerous student parties that Frankfurt has to offer, the party that sounds the best!
