One word - don't.

I've worked there, and believe me, it's not a holiday destination of any sort.

There are far better places aus Deutschland to go visit.

best place in Frankfurt is the train station, destination anywhere. second best place about Frankfurt is the airport that will bring you back.

what are you looking for?

If you enjoy techno, you have some of the world's finest clubs. Cocoon, U60311 and The Robert Johnson in Offenbach.

Spent one of the best weekends of my life there!

Berlin, Munich and Hamburg have more variety. maybe get yourself an eyewitness guide to one of those places?

I you do land in Frankfurt, which has the reputation for being a financial city, where money and appearance is all, go on train to to northern Bavaria which has plenty to offer.

I do not know if you want museums, nightlife or scenery. Germany is a big and underrated place.

Germans are friendly and will speak a little English but it always sounds good if you try using a word or two of the language.

Agreed - the city is a little bland. Also, its aimed at the business traveller and prices are quite expensive, especially hotel rooms. I'd also recommend Hamburg and Munich as alternatives. Frankfurt isn't all bad though, they're famous for serving Apple wine.

Frankfurt has charm, but you will have to go looking for it and its not there in abundance.

cheers to all and thanks for the replies,may re-think things see what else comes up for handy money that matches the prices of a couple of nights stay in a hotel in ireland
