Frankfurt am Main,
is a major manufacturing, financial,
commercial, and transportation centre,
served by rail lines and the Rhine-Main
Airport. Manufactures include machinery,
electrical equipment, chemicals,
pharmaceuticals, motor vehicles,
clothing, and printed materials.
International trade fairs are held in the
city, which is divided into an old town
and a new town. The old town, inhabited
mainly by tradespeople and skilled
artisans, retains many medieval
characteristics. The new town contains
the business quarter and the most
important public buildings. A cluster of
Gothic houses, the Römer, was used as
the town hall for nearly 500 years. Other
places of interest are the 14th-century
linen drapers' hall, the palace of the
princes of Thurn and Taxis, and the house
where the poet and writer Johann Wolfgang
von Goethe spent his youth. The
outstanding church of Frankfurt is the
Cathedral of Saint Bartholomew. Also
notable are Saint Paul's Church, the
15th- and 16th-century Saint Leonard's
Church, and Saint Michael's Church. Seven
museums make up the Museum Embankment.
The city also has a large zoo and a
botanical garden and is the seat of a
university. Although the area was settled
as early as the Stone Age, Frankfurt was
probably established as a Roman
settlement about the 1st century AD.
Modern Frankfurt, has been chosen as the
site for the European Central Bank.

I have chosen a bar
in each NFL Europe city where most
football fans congregate both before and
after games. NFL Europe fans are mostly
friendly and visiting fans are normally
welcomed.
