Frankfurt the only German destination on best list - Frankfurt Named Condé Nast Traveler's Top Destination for 2026
Frankfurt am Main, Germany's financial hub, has been named in Condé Nast Traveler's 'Best Places to Go in 2026' list, standing out as the sole German city to make the cut. Known for its striking skyline, Frankfurt is a city of contrasts, blending a rich local heritage with global influences.
Nicknamed 'Mainhattan', Frankfurt's skyscrapers offer a stark contrast to its historic old town. The city boasts a thriving local dialect and a dynamic food culture, making it a top destination for food enthusiasts. Frankfurt's cultural scene is equally vibrant, being the birthplace of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and the cradle of Germany's techno music scene.
In 2026, Frankfurt will take the global stage as the World Design Capital, with over 200 events planned to showcase the city's creativity and innovation. The Jewish Academy in the Westend district is also set to open in the same year, further enriching the city's cultural landscape.
Frankfurt's inclusion in Condé Nast Traveler's list highlights its growing appeal as a must-visit destination. Alongside global powerhouses like Hong Kong, Brussels, Peloponnese Peninsula, and New Caledonia, Frankfurt promises a unique blend of history, culture, and innovation in 2026.
