Frankfurt lies on the Main River and the harbour, Hafen Frankfurt (tel: (069) 2123 6037; fax: (069) 2123 1063; website: www.hafen-frankfurt.de), is located at Friedensbrcke. There are no passenger facilities here, as it is mostly used for freight rather than passengers. Passenger services depart from Eiserner Steg, a pier/bridge more centrally located off Untermainkai, Rmer.
