Frankfurt am Main is a huge culturally diverse city in the west of Germany, well-known as Frankfurt. Visitors can experience an array of restaurants, art exhibits and markets. A busy city such as this will take you in all directions during your exploration. Car hire from Frankfurt is a good way to visit the city's famous landmarks such as: Römer, Frankfurt Cathedral, Archäologischer Garten and Haus Wertheim.
The city's main shopping centre, the Zeil is a mile long and offers a mixture of high street and designer shops, catering to many tastes. Frankfurt also has a zoo – the Frankfurt Zoological Garden, which opened in 1858, making it a historical monument in itself, as well as St Paul's Cathedral, or ‘Paulskirche'; both places of great interest.
Frankfurt is a multicultural city that mixes cutting edge architecture with old world grandeur. For those looking into car hire from Frankfurt, there is Taunus, a mountain range north of the city centre. The Taunus are well known for their thermal springs, which can be found at the main spa town of Bad Homburg. Once there, you can enjoy the indoor and outdoor thermal pools, a cooler bathing ‘lake', a cold plunge pool and fun whirlpools. Alternatively there is the Rheingau region, an area alongside the Rhein River, rich in culture. You may wish to wait and rent a car from Frankfurt in July and August, when you can follow the Rheingau Musik Festival which tours the different towns in the area.
