The fifth largest German city, which is the only one in the whole of Germany to offer a panorama of skyscrapers. Not to mention that 18 of Germany's 20 ta­llest skyscrapers currently stand here. Due to its appearance with New York's Manhattan, Frankfurt is nicknamed Mainhattan (Main River = Main). Another well-known nickname is Bankfurt – thanks to the fact that it is one of the most important financial centers in Europe.

The older, 127m high Garden Tower building from 1976 is not so interesting in itself, but its structure allows you to create quite interesting images.
