Visit Frankfurt Stock Exchange

Deutsche Börse has turned the historic building in the center of Frankfurt, which houses the well-known Börsensaal, into a unique contact point for the Frankfurt financial center and the general public. The centrepiece of the reconstruction is the new Visitors Center, which has made the stock exchange more lively, chic and tangible - an attractive contact point for the topics of the stock exchange and equity culture.

Our doors are open to you. We look forward to welcoming you on site.

Book visit free of charge
