A thriving business capital, Frankfurt's futuristic architecture makes up Germany's most impressive high-rise skyline.

Frankfurt-am-Main is a city of contrasts: wealthy bankers rub shoulders with students and tourists; state-of-the-art office blocks juxtapose with picturesque medieval buildings. From the point of arrival at Europe's second largest airport students will feel the buzz of the city's cosmopolitan atmosphere. Frankfurt hosts some of the world's most important trade shows, has one of Europe's largest stock exchanges, and is home to the European Central Bank which regulates member countries of the European single currency.

Enjoy a fabulous overview of the city from the 200m high glass Main Tower, and then stroll along the museum riverbank, one of the most important locations for museums in Germany. Trace development of construction style and technique at the Museum of Architecture, experiment with optical illusions at the Explora or visit Goethe's House to investigate the genius of German literature. Perplex your students exploring number, logical thinking, and geometry at the lively Mathematikum or visit one of Frankfurt's excellent art galleries.

STS offers a choice of centrally located accommodation within easy access of Frankfurt's attractions.
