Germany hosts football‘s European Championships later this year, and with this in mind, a new study has named Frankfurt as the ‘best’ host city for this summer’s tournament.
In ranking the ten Euro 2024 host cities from ‘best’ to worst’, NoDepositDaily.com analysed a number of factors, including the cost of beer in each stadium, the number of hotels within two miles of each city, and the average price of a hotel for one night.
All of these factors were then given a score out of ten, which in turn determined the ranking.
Leading the way
Frankfurt, whose Deutsche Bank Park is among the host stadiums, achieved a score of 64.45, with the scoring taking into account its high number of restaurants (146) and cafés (175), as well as ease of access.

Further down the list, Cologne (RheinEnergieStadion) scored 53.83 to place fourth, and Dortmund (Signal Iduna Park) earned a score of 50.83 to take fifth.
The remainder of the top ten included Stuttgart (44.48), Hamburg (43.91), Dusseldorf (43.55) and Munich (41.98), with Leipzig – home to the Red Bull Arena – finishing last with a score of just 39.35.
The price of flights to Leipzig, as well as a the high cost of taxis, negatively affected the city’s score. However, Leipzig did boast the best Booking.com reviews of other has cities.
