Frankfurt is so captivating because of her strong contrasts and her diversity. On the one hand, you have the vibrant life of a big city in the Germany’s banking capital, on the other hand peace, tranquility, and recreation in one of the many public parks. In particular, Frankfurt has a lot to offer in terms of highlevel competitive sports. Apart from the Eintracht Frankfurt soccer team, the Skyliners Frankfurt basketball team, and the Frankfurt Lions ice-hockey team, I can recommend, of course, that you watch a match of the 1. FFC Frankfurt in the women’s Federal Soccer League.” buero-ffm.de. You can get information on schools and daycare centers at the City School Department, phone: 212-33891.
