Frankfurt am Main

Pros: not one

Review Topic:  Sights & Attractions

Frankfurt's "Old Town" is a city that doesn't look its age. It looks much older. It's supposed to.

In 1945, Allied forces leveled Frankfurt. I know leveled is a...

Review Topic:  Overview

I was born in Franfurt, Germany, and lived there as any army brat for six years. Although I am now an “Angelino,” having lived in California for 25 years, I still consider Frankfurt my home-away-from...

Cons: -

Ok not exactly, but i live 5-10km from it in a city called "Bad Homburg", in the subvillage "Ober Eschbach", next to Ober Eschbach is the village "Nieder Eschbach", it already belongs to frankfurt! So you can imagine that i visit Frankfurt very often, ...

Cons: It's still an airport.

I traveled into and out of Frankfurt/Main Germany International Airport in October of 2000. It is a huge airport spread over two terminals. If you are traveling either to the Frankfurt Airport or will spend some layover time there I suggest you:
...

Pros: Still a nice city
Cons: Has some societal ills

Frankfurt, where I used to live on Plattenstrasse, is a teeming metropolis with great history and plenty to do. However, since the wall came down, many large cities in Germany have experienced substantial social decay due to high unemployment caused by...

Pros: Very convenient to get to from the airport, cosmopolitan, easy to get a quick taste of Germany, great connections to other places
Cons: Expensive, still doesn't stand on it's own as a "must go" destination (but definitely worth it if you've got transit time to kill)

Would you believe that I’ve been to Frankfurt airport almost 100 times over the last 30 years, but I never went into the city until about 3 years ago?

A lot of people think that Frankfurt is a boring financial center with boring skyscrapers in...

Pros: More to do, more to see than you may think.
Cons: Airport.

Looking for a short, affordable break, I booked a weekend for two in Frankfurt, only to have second thoughts once I had made the booking - after all, Frankfurt is a centre of commerce and not to my knowledge, renowned for tourist attractions. I had made...

Pros: Great inner city, perfect for walking
Cons: Not as much to see as I had thought

Frankfurt, ah, a weekend destination for me. I had planned a trip to Frankfurt for the weekend from Washington, since I had found an awesome flight price. After arriving in Frankfurt, having booked my hostel, I found the city to be really subdued in...

Pros: Everything!
Cons: You should learn at least alittle German!

What a great place to visit! I actually lived in Giessen (North of Frankfurt about 25 miles) for about five years. This region is often overlooked by tourists because it is not Berlin, Bavaria, or spotted with ski resorts. However, if you want to eat...
