Main Metropolis Frankfurt

Frankfurt, the metropolis on the river Main, can be regarded as one of the most modern and most important cities in Germany, even in Europe. It has 660,000 inhabitants and is therefore the biggest city in Hesse and th5^t  biggest city in Germany. Frankfurt is especially known because of its economic and structural importance for Germany, for instance, Germany’s biggest stock exchange can be found here.

The European Central Bank, the most important financial actor on the continent, is also located here. The airport, one of the largest passenger and cargo airports worldwide, guarantees quick and easy access to Frankfurt, making the city with the prominent skyline the ideal host of numerous trade fairs. More than 40 trade fairs, many internationally renowned, are held here each year. In 2012, more than 1.5 million visitors attended a trade fair in Frankfurt. This continual influx of international business people creates a vibrant melting pot of new ideas and of multiple cultural backgrounds.

Many visitors to Frankfurt and to one of the trade fairs would like to ensure they stay at a suitable accommodation which guarantees the highest comfort and allows the guest to relax- without the anonymity of a hotel. As a result, there is a huge demand for furnished accommodation, for example apartments.

Many international visitors prefer to extend their stay after visiting a trade fair to enjoy the many sights of Frankfurt, for example the zoo, the botanic garden “Palmengarten”, the numerous museums and the internationally acclaimed art exhibitions.

Guests will quickly realize that Frankfurt is not only a city of historical importance, because many German emperors were crowned here or because the famous German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was born in Frankfurt. In addition to this, Frankfurt is a centre of attraction for art lovers who will enjoy visiting the opera or one of the 70 theatres located here.

So what could be more convenient than staying, either for a few days or even for weeks, at an apartment in Frankfurt which is only a short distance to many sights and attractions? Delegates to one of the many conferences hosted by the University of Frankfurt, alma mater to some Nobel prize winners, will also appreciate staying in comfortably furnished apartments and will try to rent one of these. Frankfurt has a brilliant infrastructure, as a result, all sights can be easily reached from all city districts.

….an international hub

Frankfurt’s infrastructure is not only impressive regarding inner city traffic, the city is even internationally well connected- Frankfurt International Airport is this link with the world. The airport won the title “World’s Most Improved Airport”, awarded by a well-known market research institute. 58 million passengers travel through this airport each year. Frankfurt Airport employs approximately 78,000 persons, making it the biggest employer in Germany. On the 4 runways, over 480,000 planes started and landed in 2012. Frankfurt Airport is an important aviation hub, many passengers change flights here.

With its advanced technical equipment, the airport can coordinate all feeder flights, for example, the passengers of an Airbus A380 arrive at Frankfurt Airport via 60 to 80 feeder flights. There are 188 parking positions for large planes. In 2012, over 2 million tons of cargo passed through Frankfurt Airport. Passengers are transported by 107 airline companies which fly to 295 destinations, in the cargo sector, 27 airlines fly to 78 destinations. The owner of the airport, Fraport, develops the airport like a proper city district with shops, entertainment and extensive services. Customers can shop and dine in 60 shops and restaurants. Visitors, families and groups are invited to book a tour of the airport which lasts 45 minutes. Fraport states that its strategy is environmentally sustainable and that it works to check and improve air pollution and noise prevention.

The latter is very important to the local residents living on one of the approach corridors of Frankfurt Airport. A quiet location is also important for anybody renting furnished accommodation in Frankfurt and the apartment should be chosen carefully. The district of Griesheim is situated close to the airport and but it is not on one of the approach corridors. As a result, renting an apartment in this district of Frankfurt is a good choice. Renting a furnished apartment for a certain amount of time is perfect for anybody who wishes to spend some time in Frankfurt- a city which offers trade fairs, a university, many interesting sights and which is also an important hub.
