… to the Congress Centre Messe Frankfurt on the fair hall 5. It is difficult to ignore them: Frankfurt's the high-rise buildings soar up into the sky from the city centre. Having been controversial for a long time, today this skyline is regarded as symbolic of the city's dynamism. Frankfurt, one of the first financial centres in Europe and since 1998 headquarters of the European Central Bank, has the flair of a manageable mini-metropolis. Apfelwein and sushi, skyscrapers and half-timber houses: Frankfurt is full of contrasts and in its own fascinating way blends the modern and the traditional, the urban and the rustic. Palm trees along the river Main, grass and bridges, views and promenades: Frankfurt is situated on a river, and the banks of the river Main have a lot to offer. Intellect and money ? that need not necessarily be a contradiction in Frankfurt. After all, the tradition of the Book Fair has managed to bridge the gap between culture and capital. The visitor to Frankfurt cannot fail to meet up with him in some form or other: Privy Councillor Goethe, Frankfurt's most famous former citizen. The Maritim Hotel Frankfurt is situated right beside the fair grounds and next to the historic Festhalle, which offers a rich programme covering a wide variety of events, top class atmosphere and is the ideal starting point for your stay here in Frankfurt. Maritim Hotel Frankfurt has a direct connection to the Fair. The main station is only a kilometre away and the sights and sounds of the city centre, not to mention its cultural amenities, are within easy reach. A visit to "SushiSho" the Japanese restaurant, will certainly be a culinary highlight of your stay.
