Local Atmosphere

Frankfurt is a remarkable city that consists of a fusion of people from all around the world, which makes Frankfurt very opened to ‘outsiders’. Most people, therefore, find the people of Frankfurt to be very welcoming and friendly. Although Frankfurt has nearly 1 million inhabitants, it doesn’t give off that big city feel. There may be a massive skyline of skyscrapers, but Frankfurt still offers many parks and wonderful areas away from the city center for people to enjoy and take it the cultural life of the locals.

The people of Hessen, especially those living in Frankfurt, put a lot of emphasis on food quality. Hence, it is no surprise that Frankfurt’s main street is called the ‘Freßgass’, which means ‘Glutton Alley’. This wonderful alley is full of Frankfurt gourmet shops, cafes, bars, traditional German restaurants and even fast food chains.
