Being one of Europe's biggest travel hubs, or plane pit-stops as I call them, I have flown by, into, out of and through this Germany city too many times to count. I have never though, taken a day to explore all the city has to offer. This trip did not include that day. But it did give us 6 very cold hours to explore a weeknight in central Frankfurt.
After a quick search and some recommendations from friends on what the MUST-SEEs are, I compiled a very short list for us:
- Sample the "signature drink" of Frankfurt - Apfelwein
- Explore the oldest area possible - musts: cobblestone streets and antique German squares & buildings
- Walk along the famous river Main, which is actually part of the official city name: Frankfurt am Main
- Check out an authentic Cider Tavern (where hopefully there would be some locals!)
- Avoid bratwurst at.all.costs & at.all.locations. This is a part of Germany I did not want to encounter....in Frankfurt, or otherwise.
We checked off 3 of our 5 must-do's as 6hrs was far too long for our exposed noses & ears to bear in the German wintertime.
An enticing glimpse into this complex city -
I'm keeping it on the list for a future trip with at least one full day, ideally a few...
but in warmer weather!
