Frankfurt Photo Gallery
Nicknamed "Mainhattan", Frankfurt is very much a business city, a place to make money, although they've got a lot of museums on offer now as well.Besides modern architecture, the historic part has been rebuilt after World War II decimated it but there really isn't enough to keep you here a few days. My trips to Germany have mostly focused elsewhere in the country, such as thematic visits to the Christmas markets in the smaller towns, which offer quite a unique festive experience without the burden of large urban crowds. My Frankfurt trips were mostly long transits, with a good number of hours to venture out and explore a little in between flights. Luckily, the airport is only a short train ride from downtown and being a Lufthansa hub, it is very well connected so a long transit here is easily achieveable.

However, a good reason to come to Frankfurt is to do a day trip to Heidelberg, which has been high on my bucket list for many years. It's an easy one to do since it's only about an hour away by train, while Flixbus offers cheaper fares but takes slightly longer, with the bus stop just a short walk from the train station.No matter which option you take, both modes stop quite a distance away from the old town, so do take a tram if you want to save your energy. The historic university town was spared from World War II bombings and feels quite romantic if you ignore the large tourist crowds.
