Frankfurt, the financial capital of Germany

This is the fifth largest city in Germany, with a long-term population of about 800,000. Here is the largest airport in Germany, the most concentrated skyscrapers in Germany, the headquarters of the European Central Bank, the four major banks of our country's industry and commerce, agriculture, construction, and transportation, as well as the German headquarters of major banks in other countries. This is the financial center of Germany and the European continent, Frankfurt on the Main River. This is a city where ancient architecture and modern architecture are perfectly combined. The Frankfurt Central Station has a history of more than 100 years. It must have had a particularly glorious period, but it is a bit down now. But its huge body is still standing there, and it is still in operation. The Main River runs through the city, and the bridges on the Main River connect the two sides of the city. Standing on the oldest iron bridge, you will see the Frankfurt Cathedral and the modern architectural bank district on one side of the river. You will also see the museum district and the Three Saints Church on the other side. You will also see the newly built headquarters building of the European Central Bank in the distance, and the endless river water under the bridge. The old Frankfurt Opera House is located at one end of the commercial street. From there, walking down the pedestrian street, you will see a street of luxury goods, Goethe Street. On the other side of Goethe Street is Goethe Square. Through the small street next to the square, you will return to the traditional pedestrian street of Frankfurt, Zeil Street. The street is lined with shopping malls and is a good place for leisure shopping. It's just that Germany's economy is really not satisfactory recently, and several malls have already closed. Although Germany no longer has its former glory, and Frankfurt has lost its past style, the accumulation of so many years of history has still retained a lot, so Frankfurt is still a city worth seeing.
