Frankfurt - so German, and yet somehow the most "American" city in the country. On the one hand, it is historical, while on the other, it is a modern, financial, traffic center, but also the richest city in Europe.
European Manhattan, as this city is called because of the recognizable skyscrapers on the bank of the Main and the stock exchange, is colorful and specific in its own way.
Crossroads of the continent, a taste of Romerberg
If it is said that all roads lead to Rome, then Frankfurt is the intersection of all roads in Europe, which is not surprising when you know that this city is home to one of the busiest European airports, but also one of the largest and most important highway intersections.
It also applies to the "city of banks", first of all, because it is the home of the European Central Bank, and practically every important bank (about 300 of them) has a representative office in this city.
Perhaps the most beautiful thing about this city of about 700.000 inhabitants is the contrast in architecture, so in addition to the mentioned skyscrapers and modern buildings, the symbol of Frankfurt is certainly the Romerberg - the heart of the old city with fairy-tale buildings and recognizable facades.
Eintracht and the NFL
In addition to all that, the birthplace of a great writer Goethe it is certainly also a city of sports, first of all Eintracht, one of the giants of German football, former Bundesliga champion, League/Champion Cup finalist and the team that won the Europa League two years ago.
The symbol of the city is also Eintracht's home - "Waldstadion" or in translation the stadium in the forest, since it is literally located in the forest next to the city, surrounded by greenery and trees...
The aforementioned stadium was built on that spot 99 years ago, which was renovated many times, and when it was done for the last time in 2005, it grew into a super-modern building with a movable roof.
The very next year, it hosted the World Cup, and in addition to soccer, NFL matches are also played here every year.
And it's a real shame that, in addition to four group matches, only one will be played in the knockout phase - the round of 16.
