Frankfurt am Main
I would use the German spelling.
----
Frankfurt am Main is a city in Hesse, Germany. Typically referred to among English speakers as Frankfurt, though it was once known as Frankfort-on-Main with English speakers. It should not be confused with another Frankfurt in Germany: see Frankfurt an der Oder.
