Welcome to Frankfurt! We would like to invite you to take a closer look at Frankfurt, the metropolis, where everybody feels at home. Frankfurt is the largest financial centre in Europe, a global village, a melting pot of cultures, languages and lifestyles.
Travelling around: Getting around Frankfurt is easy and convenient, thanks to a modern public transportation system. You can use streetcars (trams), rapid trains and the underground. The fastest way of travelling within the city of Frankfurt is the ‘U-Bahn’, the underground train.
The city: Frankfurt is a city of contrasts, a city of variety. Take some time to discover it. It is a city of trade fair, a financial centre, a major European metropolis but also a city of intellect, of apple wine of green spaces and of 180 nationalities.

How to get around in Venice: The only way to get around in Venice is to walk or take a boat. Many Venetians have their own boats but the visitor will have to take a taxi or a public boat in order to move around the canals of Venice. The different types of public boats are: vaporetto (water bus), motorscafo (water taxi) and gondola. The famous gondola is certainly the finest way to move about the canals of Venice on romantic moonlit nights. For the water taxis, the fares start from 50 €. You have to be careful, though, especially in Tronchetto (the island with the biggest car park) because unlicensed water taxis are not to be trusted and sometimes they can be dangerous, too!
