Frankfurt neighborhood map
These two maps divide Frankfurt into its 46 official districts, called Stadtteile. One colours them in groups and shows the neighbouring counties, the other highlights the central districts where most visitors stay.
For local government the 46 Stadtteile are grouped into 16 Ortsbezirke, each with its own district council. Several of them, such as Höchst, Bergen-Enkheim and Nieder-Erlenbach, were independent towns or villages before joining Frankfurt in the 20th century and still keep their own small centres.
For a short stay, the districts closest to the centre are the most practical: the Innenstadt and Altstadt for sightseeing, the Westend for quiet streets near the trade fair, Nordend and Bornheim for cafés and Berger Straße, and Sachsenhausen for the museums and apple wine taverns on the south bank.

Map of Frankfurt neighborhoods
A map of Frankfurt's 46 districts based on OpenStreetMap data, with the districts coloured in groups and the surrounding counties, such as the Hochtaunuskreis, Main-Taunus-Kreis and Offenbach, named around the city boundary.
It shows how far the city extends beyond the centre: from Zeilsheim and Sindlingen in the west to Bergen-Enkheim in the east, and from Nieder-Erlenbach in the north to the airport, which forms its own district called Flughafen, in the south. Forests and lakes are shown in the background, including the large Stadtwald south of Sachsenhausen.

Map of Frankfurt districts
A simplified map of all 46 Frankfurt districts, with the Innenstadt in orange and the surrounding central districts, Westend, Nordend, Bornheim, Ostend and northern Sachsenhausen, in yellow.
The Main and the Nidda are drawn in blue, and the airport district appears in grey in the south-west. The highlighted area roughly corresponds to the part of the city that most visitors explore, and to the districts best served by the U-Bahn, S-Bahn and trams.
