Frankfurt might be the smallest of Europe's big cities, but its certainly not lacking in stature. Throughout its 1200 year history, the city has been linked to international trade, commerce and transportation. Today, with more than 400 international banks and an active stock exchange, Frankfurt has the only skyscraper skyline in Germany. With the arrival of European monetary union, the city is playing a leading role as the home of the European Central Bank, And with the continents largest airport and busiest train station, Frankfurt is without question the transportation hub of Europe. The city has acquired a dubious reputation as a dull, business-minded place. Indeed, many people who fly or ride the rails into the city are simply making a connection or attending trade fairs. Other travellers linger, however to sample Frankfurts fine opera, ballet and world class museums.
