If all roads used to lead to Rome, today they seem to converge on Frankfurt, making it the hub of a great network of European traffic routes. Most international flights land at Frankfurt's huge airport, and its massive 19th-century railway station is the busiet in Europe. Frankfurt is a heavily industrial city, with more than 2,450 factories operating around the Furt (ford) of the Main River. As the home of the Bundersbank, Germany's central bank, Frankfurt is also the country's financial center.
We are staying at Hotel am Dom, which is located directly next to Frankfurt's largest chuch within the boundaries of the historic old own. Room with breakfast is Euro 90 a night. We have arranged to meet Anna and Christoph, a student and her boyfriend, who stays in Frankfurt.
.
We will be spending a night here. Tomorrow, we take our connecting flight to Stockhom, Sweden.
