The highs and lows of a break in fantastic Frankfurt

July's news announcement that Lufthansa Airlines is to operate two flights-per-day from Gatwick to Frankfurt has caused much excitement.

The first passengers who use the new flights on 30th October 2011 will be flying to Europe's second-largest airport (Heathrow is the largest).

Lufthansa offers flights from Frankfurt to 84 countries so the new flights mean that passengers in the South East of England can now explore long-haul destinations such as Beijing and Buenos Aires far more easily than they used to from their local airport – Gatwick.

Before a flight it is always worth checking out Gatwick airport parking so that you can relax knowing that your car awaits you when you return. BOOKFHR.com offers thousands of deals on Airport Parking to help you save money and make the experience of long-haul flying less stressful.

When you do step off the plane at Frankfurt it would be a waste to just get a connecting flight somewhere else. The German city has many interesting sights to see and is a fine place to go for a weekend break – just avoid the some of the duller trade fairs you find there!

Skyscrapers

Looking at the Frankfurt skyline is an experience in itself – a delightfully higgledy-piggledy mess of sky scrapers which remind you of the fact that the city is the business capital of Germany. The high-rise nature of the city can at times make it seem a little like another important financial centre – New York.

As Frankfurt is home to Germany's central bank (the Bundesbank) and the European Central Bank, it has attracted thousands of foreign ex-pats and exiles to work in its financial institutions. This gives Frankfurt a pleasingly cosmopolitan flavour – again like New York.

Museums

Frankfurt is the fifth largest city in Germany but in terms of museums, and nightlife, it is second only to the capital, Berlin. Its natural history museum, Senckenberg, is actually bigger than Berlin's and is the largest natural history museum in Germany.

You won't struggle to find architecture, sculpture, icon and world cultures museums in the city – most of them can be found alongside the city's pretty riverbank.

History

Of course, any city with so many museums must have a rich history itself. Why not use your time in the city to explore why it was such an important part of the Holy Roman Empire, how it became the seat of the first elected German parliament and why it was occupied by French troops in 1920.

Underground travel

Travelling around Frankfurt is refreshingly easy; don't miss a chance to travel on its deep underground light rail system which, ingeniously, is also capable of travelling above ground on street rails.

Techno nightlife

As well as efficient underground trains, Frankfurt has a tradition for exciting underground music. The city's Omen nightclub was seen as the cradle of techno music – it was one of the first places to play a harder, deeper style of acid house. Some of the most influential early techno acts, artists like Jam and Spoon, made Frankfurt their home during this dance music revolution. Even now, techno is still the soundtrack to many a great night out in Frankfurt!
