Frankfurt is located in Hesse state. International Frankfurt, although a banking powerhouse, is also known for its excellent quality of life, leafy parkland, lively nightlife and streets lined with laid-back cafes and beer gardens. Although Germany's most UN-German city, it is ironically the first contact many will have with the country thanks to the presence of Europe's third-busiest airport, handling some 53 millin pessengers per year. Frankfurt has many skyscrapers, 'Mainhattan' - the focal point of an urban area with over 5 million inhabitants - is a true capital of finance and business, home base for one of the world's larges stock exchanges as well as the European Central Bank. Yet Frankfurt consistently ranks as one of the world's most livable cities, with rich collection of museums (second only to Berlin's), lot's of parks and greenery, a lively student scene, excellent publici transport, fine dining and plenty to do in the evening.
