Frankfurt, Germany
Frankfurt defies the stereotype of a soulless financial center. The Romerberg, the reconstructed medieval square at the city's heart, sits in dramatic contrast to the Manhattan-like skyline — earning Frankfurt the nickname Mainhattan. The Museumsufer along the south bank of the Main River is one of Europe's densest museum districts, with the Stadel Museum housing seven centuries of European art. Across the river, Sachsenhausen's narrow lanes are packed with Apfelwein taverns, where locals gather around long communal tables. The Palmengarten botanical garden, the Kleinmarkthalle food market, and the Goethe-Haus — birthplace of Germany's greatest writer — round out a surprisingly walkable and culturally rich city.

Walk the Eiserner Steg footbridge at sunset for the best view of Frankfurt's skyline reflected in the Main River — locals call this the city's most photogenic moment.
May through September brings outdoor festival season along the riverbanks, with warm evenings perfect for Apfelwein in open-air gardens.
