Holidays & City Breaks to Frankfurt

Frankfurt is one of the biggest cities in Germany and is home to the European Central Bank and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The city lies along the main river, on which you can enjoy a mini cruise to see the architecture of this fascinating city. With its tall skyscraper buildings, it has been nick-named Manhattan-am-Main or Mainhattan. The distance from Frankfurt Airport to Frankfurt is approximately 14km.

Frankfurt is famous for its futuristic skyline, but a visit to Altstadt, or the Old City, will introduce you to the city’s traditional and rustic charms with its cobbled streets. The city is easy to navigate as there are lots of public transport options which run throughout the night. There are lots of cultural activities to partake in, from a trip to the opera, a jazz concert or a day in some of the city’s museums. Frankfurt is home to some trendy restaurants and bars. No trip would be complete without a visit to an apfelweinlokal, a traditional apple wine bar. If you visit in the run up to Christmas, the markets are full of great locally made craft and produce which are sure to get you in the festive spirit.

Trips to Frankfurt can be enjoyed by all age groups. Children are sure to have a great day at Frankfurt Zoo, while couples, solo travellers and groups of friends will have an abundance of things to do to keep themselves entertained while getting around on the incredible public transport system.

With daily flights from Dublin, Frankfurt is a great choice for a midweek or weekend break. Abbey Travel offer great rates on city breaks to Frankfurt from Ireland.
