Every second year, Frankfurt is home to one of the world's largest Motor Shows. And to a car enthusiast, like my husband, this is pretty exciting stuff. So this was basically the reason that we went to Frankfurt, though I made sure we stayed for an extra day so we could have a look around this interesting city.
I really liked Frankfurt. It was clean, and easy to navigate around. We felt safe, and the autumn weather was perfect. I loved the skyscrapers, the Romerberg and the river. Highly recommended for a short break.

next time ur in FRA you've to check out the new "My Zeil" shopping centre; the architecture is AMAZING
Schnitzel looked fine to me! Been around a bit, have you? Get a DB pass next time, much cheaper! Havn't much experience with hotels in Frankfurt, I have relatives there. Why do you think most Germans are the size of a house? LOL!
Great tips and photos. Look like you had an enjoyable time in Frankfurt! Best from New Jersey, Bill
Ah, the joys of "talking" to DB ticket machines that always try to sell you the most expensive ticket seems to be the German local custom ;) Love those skyscrapers, will have to visit soon.
I like your restaurant tips! Better luck next time with a hotel - I've had good luck in Frankfurt with Priceline!
Excellent page Sue - there's so much we didn't see when in Frankfurt last year. Like you I'm particularly attracted to the idea of a fountain running with wine ;)
Interesting page you have, Sue :-) It is always nice to see a city through a visitor's perspective (I live close by so have other "eyes"). I found many things in your tips I'd like to explore myself now :-)
Hi Sue, I'm glad you enjoyed your visit here in Frankfurt am Main -- and had such great weather for your photos! Since you liked the skyscrapers you might want to have a look at the Frankfurt Skyline Countdown on my Land Hessen page.
Fabulous updates here. I have to keep the Dinea roof top dining and a visit of the Main Tower in mind for my next visit. Looking forward to seeing more Germany pages of yours ... :o)
Great new page, Sue, you certainly packed a lot into this trip. And I see you moved on to taking pictures of carpets now.
