"Frankfurt - aka "Mainhattan"" Frankfurt am Main by sue_stone


Frankfurt am Main Travel Guide: 2,074 reviews and 3,574 photos

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.

    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!

    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.
