Frankfurt am Main, commonly known simply as Frankfurt, is the fifth-largest city in Germany, with a population of 680.000. Situated on the Main River, Frankfurt is the financial and transportation heart of Germany and the largest financial centre in continental Europe. Frankfurt has been Germany's financial centre for centuries, and it is the home of a number of most important banks and brokerages. Frankfurt is also home to many cultural and educational establishments including the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, many museums, and two big botanical gardens, the Palmengarten and the Botanischer Garten der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main.
Frankfurt is a place of contrasts. Wealthy bankers, students and granola dropouts coexist in a city that has some of the highest, most avant-garde skyscrapers of Europe next to well maintained old buildings. The downtown area, especially Römer square and the museums at the River Main, draw millions of tourists every year. On the other hand, many off the beaten track neighbourhoods, such as Bockenheim, Bornheim, Nordend and Sachsenhausen, with their beautiful 19th century streets and parks, are mostly ignored by tourism and not very often visited by tourists.
