Frankfurt’s summer highlights
Frankfurt am Main will once again be offering visitors a colourful programme of old favourites and new highlights.
Art and Culture
Art enthusiasts will find the exhibition ‘The Magic of Things - Still Life Painting 1500-1800’, at the Städel Museum Frankfurt to 17th August 2008, well worth a visit. With more than ninety masterworks, the show spreads out a panorama of the still life’s development in the Netherlands and Germany from its beginnings in the late fifteenth century to the end of the eighteenth century.
The last weekend in August is Museum Embankment Festival. The museums along the river Main and the river itself are at the centre of the Festival. This outdoor cultural celebration, to be held from 29th to 31st August 2008, is known to be one of Europe’s biggest and best open-air festivals.
A colourful programme for guests of all ages, featuring superb displays of culture, cuisine and art from around the globe, make a visit a truly memorable experience. To join this unique combination of high-brow culture and multicultural street party can find a place to stay simply by calling the Tourismus+Congress GmbH Frankfurt at +49 (0) 69-21230808 or going to

Sport
As a city of sports, Frankfurt will once again be showing itself from its most active side in 2008. 26th of October is the day for runners. The ‘Dresdner Kleinfurt Frankfurt Marathon’ will be held for the 27th time. Thanks in part to an excellent music programme and the countless street festivals, Frankfurt Marathon has become a very popular event among participants and spectators alike.
