Mainhattan: The Financial Engine of Europe

1. The continental capital of European finance.

Frankfurt is home to the European Central Bank (ECB), which sets monetary policy for 350 million Europeans across the eurozone, and the Deutsche Börse, with a stock exchange market capitalization of roughly $2.45 trillion.

2. The skyline that earned the name 'Mainhattan'.

Because Germany's strict zoning historically discouraged skyscrapers, Frankfurt is the only city in Germany — and one of very few in Europe — with a dramatic cluster of high-rise commercial towers along the Main River.

3. The clock: Frankfurt follows UTC+1 (CET) in winter and UTC+2 (CEST) in summer, perfectly aligned with Germany and the European Union single market.
