"Been there 1000 times before......" Frankfurt am Main by tini58de

.... but never really visited!

I have changed trains in Frankfurt a dozen times,
started or returned from my trips at the Frankfurt airport or attended conventions,
but I never really visited!

Now, in 2006, VT finally made it happen:
I attended my first VT meeting there!
Not only did I meet wonderful people there, but I was also given
a tour through Frankfurt and found out that it is not that bad after all!

In fact - I really liked it!!!
.

But to be quite honest: it is not so much Frankfurt itself, but rather one of Frankfurt's inhabitants that make this place so nice:

Don (aka Nemorino) is the perfect tourguide - and if you are interested also the perfect opera expert!

I was fortunate to be invited to see Mozart's "Zauberflöte" with him - and that sure was a very special event! Thanks so much, Don!

My advice is:

if you have a little spare time,
do have a look around downtown Frankfurt,
you will not be disappointed!

In the meantime enjoy my tips and travelogues
and let me know what you think!

    Hallo! Habe mal auf Deiner Frankfurtseite rumgeschnuppert! Wir verbringen im Sept. 2 Wochen bei meiner Tante in Hofheim und werden dann auch mal Frankfurt genauer anschauen! (wie Du auch, kannte ich eigentlich bisher nur den Flughafen!) Gruss / Jess :-)

    A very interesting page and pleasant VT-meeting I guess! Mainhatten looks not worth then Manhatten... I could watch it only from autobahn passing by Frankfurt many times but never visit it yet... Thanks Christine!
