Frankfurt is a beautiful city that is known for its modern skyscrapers. The best place to stay in the city would be the city centre due to the fact that it is a central location which is close to all the main attractions. Romerberg which is the old centre of Frankfurt is a perfect place to stay if history is something that appeals to as this area is filled with century-old buildings and attractions.
Sachsenhausen is a area where you can certainly find some of the best and local favourite cider bars- it should definitely be on top of your list if you want to paint the town red. This nightlife hotspot is also home to great Museums which showcase the art, culture and film history of Frankfurt.
Last, but most definitely not least is Bockenheim. This is a stunning area lined with markets and hotels which are in walking distance to many outdoor parks and restaurants that serve traditional delectable dishes visitors and locals cannot get enough of.
The city centre is easily covered on foot but if you need to get places fast then the RMV, Frankfurt’s public transport system, is a breeze. The network of trains, trams and buses cover greater Frankfurt and provide a safe and affordable way to get around. If you’re staying longer then get a Frankfurt Card which entitles you to unlimited transport throughout the city. Getting to town from the airport is easy with an efficient network of trains, buses and taxis operating directly from Frankfurt International Airport.
