I'm going to Frankfurt, Germany!

Post Reply New Topic

Anybody from Frankfurt, Germany? Any good places to visit? I'm also going to Paris and London while I'm in Europe!

I hope that you have a wonderful trip.

Great, now I'm jealous.

I went to Munich once and was blown away -- and wished I went to Berlin.

I've never been to Paris. You are so lucky to get to go there

Frankfurt? Birthplace of the modern "hot dog"?

how 'bout berlin, which [according to JFK] was the place to be a jelly donut ["Ich bin ein Berliner!"].

The sausage may be German, but the hotdog, like potato chips, ice-cream cones and hamburgers are all American! so thank you very much America (yippee, etc!)

Same. Im so jealous. I passed through Frankfurt airport on a connection in 2007, and it was an interesting airport- everyone was smoking in it!

That's interesting. I have a friend who's allergic to cigarette smoke. I guess I should warn her never to go to Frankfurt,Germany.

can you tell me more about your good fortune [to be able to vacation in europe]? i can at least vicariously enjoy it myself, if you tell us all more about it.

Frankfurt am Main or Frankfurt am Oder?

I guess that this first. If you're interested in literature, you probably know it's a city of Goethe. You should visit places connected with him.

They have many fests in Frankfurt. Maybe you can go to one of them?

I like frankfurts

mmmm, sausages, beer, banks....

In London, go and watch the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. It's free but you have to get there early to get a good spot where you can see anything. I went to Kew Gardens last time I was in London. Really beautiful. Next time I'm going to Westminster Abbey. Lots of tourists head for Madame Tussauds but I think it's a waste of money. The London Dungeons are always good for a gross out.

Take lots of pictures, for us.

Also in London and Paris there are loads of art museums, if you are into that... in London The National Gallery, the Victoria and Albert (or something) gallery, Tate Modern if you like modern art, and also the British museum which has sort of greek and egyptian stuff... in Paris of course the Louvre (which I didnt get to go to as I got lost ) and the Musee De Orsay, amongst other things... I also got a boat trip down the river in Paris, but that was sort of because I was really lost and needed to find a landmark.
