Frankfurt Is the Big Winner in Battle for Brexit Bankers
Frankfurter here :) Nice to see us on the good side of news more often recently. Frankfurt, compared to the big capitals of the world, is rather small: about 700.000 reside within the city limits. Yet, the metropolitan area is much larger. 
Frankfurt also has the highest percentage of foreigners in Germany (ok, Offenbach, Frankfurt&#x27;s neighbour even has more, but those two are at the top). Even Berlin feels less international in this regard. And in case you need to have a break from this most modern looking German city, you just take a plane at the airport (which is almost &quot;in the city&quot; and very easy to reach). On weekends, you can to trips to France, Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Belgium or Switzerland (all within 2-4 hour drive). It&#x27;s internationality also makes Frankfurt easy to navigate for people who don&#x27;t speak German. By the way: there are only few &quot;real Frankfurters&quot; like me there (born and raised here with German parents...). Even other Germans mostly moved here from other cities. Within my close colleagues, I am the exception as someone who spent almost his entire life here. What that means: we are pretty open for everyone. We don&#x27;t care where you are from, we don&#x27;t prefer doing business with people that speak the local dialect (which might happen in other parts of Germany). Talking business: I doubt you find a city with more libertarian-minded entrepreneurs in Germany. Business enthusiasm is quite high compared to other regions where social democratic culture is more imminent. People come to Frankfurt to make money.<p>If you want to live in beautiful luxury, you are also at the right spot! The Taunus mountains north-west of the city house a myriad of bankers and CEOs in beautiful and expensive villas, combine perfect schools with healthy nature and nice views on the city. You&#x27;ll have to buy something more sporty than a Porsche to get some looks, as Porsche is the standard family car there (or High-End BMWs or Mercedes)...
If, besides work, you want to enjoy culture, this city serves you plenty. Museums, Opera, Theaters, Rock concerts: here, you have them all.<p>So to those you wonder if Frankfurt is really the place to go, I say: I love the world, I like many other places, but if I could, I would take my Frankfurt anywhere I go.
