The Frankfurt as the transit hub and the business centre of Germany has much more to explore. The thriving industrial metropolis of Frankfurt, Germany's fifth-largest city and Goethe's hometown may well be your first glimpse of Germany. It Boasts, Germany’s most spectacular skyline, mirrored in the Main River and also having the tallest building of Europe. Frankfurt's international trade fairs in spring and autumn bring some 1.5 million visitors to the city and it’s Messe Frankfurt (fairgrounds), often causing a logjam at hotels. Fairs include the Motor Show, the Textile Fair, the Chemical Industries Fair, and the Cookery Fair. But the best known is the International Book Fair, which draws some 5,500 publishers from nearly 100 countries and is the most important meeting place in the world for the acquisition and sale of book rights and translations. Frankfurt throws more money at the arts than any other European city so you'll most likely catch a ground-breaking exhibition at one of its museums. And if you do happen to get stuck at the mega-airport there's a nightclub, art gallery and X-rated cinema to help while away those in-transit hours.
