Medical specialists and medical centers in Frankfurt
Frankfurt is one of the most important financial centres in Germany and Europe. With its skyscrapers unique in Europe, Frankfurt rises above the Main on an area of approximately 243 square kilometres and at its centre accommodates about 700.000 inhabitants. Frankfurt was officially mentioned for the first time in 794 and played a decisive role during the imperial age. Much of the city was destroyed by bombing in World War II by the Allies. The historic old town, however, is preserved, just as its culturally important role in Europe. Today the old town is a tourist magnet that repeatedly attracts visitors from all over the world.

Frankfurt borders the two banks of the Lower Main southeast of Taunus in the state of Hesse. Although people associate Frankfurt more with the high-rising steel-concrete structures, it is perhaps less well known that almost one third of the city is a conservation area called the "Frankfurt green corridor". The Frankfurt City Forest is part of this area among other forests. It is one of the largest urban forests in Germany.
There are 27 clinics in Frankfurt.

Attractions
The five main attractions of Frankfurt's old town are the Frankfurt Cathedral [Kaiserdom], Römerberg, the St. Paul's Church and the Goethe House.
The Frankfurt Cathedral St. Bartholomew was the election and coronation place of the German emperors. From there, the so-called royal road leads to the Frankfurt City Hall, the Römer. Today you can admire archaeological finds from the Roman period in front of the cathedral. But the cathedral itself also attracts tourists and the late Gothic west tower decisively shapes the image of the old town.
Römerberg is the central square of the old town, which is surrounded by the town hall "Römer" (14th century), the early Gothic "Old St. Nicholas Church" and a reconstructed row of houses on the east side. This place is especially known to football fans, since this is where the title wins of regional football clubs are celebrated.
Every child knows St. Paul's Church from history lessons. The National Assembly met there in 1848/49.
The Goethe House is the birthplace of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
Shopping
The 600 metre long Zeil in downtown is the best known and most profitable shopping street in Frankfurt. With up to 13,120 pedestrians per hour, it was the most frequented of 170 German shopping streets for the first time in 2012.
