There are a number of things that you have to think about when you are trying to be a green traveler. One of the most important things to consider is where you want to travel.

We shared some great eco-tourist destinations in the past. Another worth considering is Frankfurt.

Why should green tourists go to Frankfurt?

Frankfurt is Germany’s financial center. It houses the European Central Bank, more than 230 foreign banks, and many international trade fairs. Frankfurt also has one of the busiest airports in Europe, and it is an important transportation hub for railroads and highways.

There is another great benefit of Frankfurt, at least if you are an eco-tourist. Frankfurt has been rated by some people as the most sustainable city on the planet.

If you want to find other eco-friendly people to bond with, then Frankfurt is the place to visit. You will also be able to partake in activities that can help lower your carbon footprint, since they are so popular there.

Many people worldwide travel to Frankfurt not just for all that it has to offer but also because it is easy to get to. This is in addition to all of the eco-friendly tourists that have decided to start supporting the city for its attitudes on sustainability. Frankfurt is only about an hour and 40 minutes by train from Paris, France; just under three hours away from Berlin; four hours away from Amsterdam; eight hours away from the Swiss capital of Bern; just over two hours away from Luxembourg’s capital, Luxembourg City; two and a half hours from London, England; just under six hours from Vienna, Austria; just under three hours from Prague, Czech Republic.

When you’re done sightseeing in Frankfurt, there are plenty of other places to go as well. Since they are in close proximity to the central part of the city, you won’t have to waste a lot of fuel and harm the environment to reach them. This is one of the reasons that Frankfurt is rated as such an eco-friendly destination. It is easy to go hiking in the nearby Taunus Mountains (a German mountain range) or visit the nearby medieval castles. Frankfurt is also near a national park and not far from small towns with charming scenery such as Heidelberg (with Germany’s oldest university) and Bamberg (the breweries in Bamberg make some of the best Rauchbier, or smoked beer, in the world).

Frankfurt is located at the banks of the Main River. The people in Frankfurt are amicable and speak English well, so it is easy to get by without any German skills at all!
