Frankfurt Vacations, Frankfurt Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

One of the most beautiful cities in Germany as well as the Germany's financial center. I'm not quite sure why this might be but it's a very undeserved reputation. In reality Frankfurt is a vibrant,modern and cosmopolitan city.

Built on the banks of the river Main, Frankfurt is a sprawling metropolis with a broad range of cultures and backgrounds evidenced by the huge array of differint ethnic bars and restaurants that inhabit seemingly every street corner. It's also the home of German trance and techno so there's a number of the best clubs in Europe (if you like that sort of music).If you like pubs, try the Sachsenhausen area,filled with small bars and really lively at night.

There's very little of the old town left as much was destroyed in the 1940s but as the banking capital of Germany it does have some of the tallest buildings in Europe which dominate the skyline.

Local specialities: Frankfurter sausages (obviously), Apfelwein – an alcoholic apple juice which is served everywhere, Frankfurter Grüne Sosse - boiled eggs in a cold cream and herb sauce served with potatoes, Handkäs mit Musik -a very intense and aromatic cheese usually served covered in oil, onions and caraway seeds,the Musik part being the after effects it has on your digestive system!

Frankfurt is also well known for being the host of the biggest book fair in the world: the\\\'Frankfurter Buchmesse\\\'. It takes place in October every year.
