Frankfurt is one of Europe’s premier cultural and commercial centres. Many major publishers and banks are based here, with the International Book Fair one of the biggest of its kind in the world. A symbol of this great medieval city and a major tourist attraction is the Romer, a collection of half-timbered houses built between the 15th and 18th centuries. There are also world-class museums in Frankfurt, such as the Historisches Museum and the Museum fur Moderne Kunst.
Arriving in Frankfurt
Frankfurt is the fifth-largest city in Germany, and the biggest international financial centre in Europe. Its clean streets, shining skyscrapers and affluent lifestyle are a magnet for international entrepreneurs, businessmen and women, and financiers.
Beyond the financial heart of the city is a cultured and fascinating location that has hundreds of years of history to discover.
Book a flight to Frankfurt with Qatar Airways and you'll find that Frankfurt has a unique charm and personality that is surprisingly laid back and relaxed. Frankfurt is full of contrasts – a pulsing, high-profile business epicentre that sits in the middle of a gorgeously baroque city with its own heritage.
Tourist attractions
Frankfurt’s museums are outstanding, housing some of the world’s best collections of fine art and artefacts from all over the globe. Many of the city’s best museums are located on both banks of the Main river in a district called Museumsufer.
Take the subway to Schweizer Platz (southern bank) or Willy-Brandt-Platz (northern bank). The German Architecture Museum (Architektur Museum) is particularly noteworthy, as is the Film Museum, which is particularly interesting if you are a keen fan of early German movie making inspired by the Bauhaus movement.
Römerberg is the historic centre of Frankfurt and full of fabulous architecture and unexpected surprises down narrow streets and alleyways. Some buildings date back to the 14th and 15th century, although ruins dating back to the Roman period are also visible at the Archäologische Garten, which is next to the cathedral.
The splendid Old Opera building (Alte Oper) is a cultural centre for some of the best music recitals in the country. The magnificent fountains outside are a wonderful photo opportunity, with the imposing 19th century Renaissance style opera building as a backdrop.
Opera here is of exceptional quality, and tickets for performances are available all year round.
Travel Considerations
Flights to Frankfurt with Qatar Airways land at Frankfurt Airport, one of the busiest air transport hubs in Europe. Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. Before you fly to Frankfurt please check the visa and passport requirements.
Flying from Phnom Penh
Located 10km west of the country’s capital, Phnom Penh International Airport is the largest in Cambodia and the main departure point from the country to a number of international destinations around the world.
Passengers flying from Phnom Penh with Qatar Airways will find this airport to be a quietly efficient and friendly destination, and while it may not be the world’s largest airport, it certainly makes up for its diminutive size by the warmth of the welcome its staff offer passengers.
The service is efficient and hassle-free, making it an excellent Asian departure point.
Transportation and parking
Transport to the airport is primarily by taxi or three-wheeled vehicles, which are cheap, remarkably efficient and plentiful.
It is best to ask your hotel concierge to book a taxi on your behalf to ensure you are being charged the correct fare, which ranges from between $9-15 on average.
Be wary of paying any more than this for a taxi journey from the furthest parts of the city to the airport. Parking is limited and primarily short-stay, although some long-stay bays are available. They do fill up quickly so if you are travelling to the airport by car it may be wise to book ahead if possible.
Arriving in Phnom Penh
Passengers flying from Phnom Penh with Qatar Airways depart from the main International Departures area. The airport only serves a limited number of international carriers, so the departures area is quite small, albeit extremely efficiently organised.
Allow between one to two hours before your flight is due to depart to check in and clear security checks.
Facilities and amenities
The CIP “Le Salon” Lounge is a luxurious and spacious waiting area that has very good facilities for CIP first and business-class passengers, including workstations, comfortable seating, internet access and all-day food and beverage vendors.
Premium quality retail outlets throughout the airport sell exclusive goods and accessories, and a wellness centre offers traditional massage and relaxation therapy.
A number of fast food and on-the-go eateries offer a range of local and international dishes, including Cambodian and Asian choices.
