What to do in Frankfurt?

At first glance, Frankfurt can hardly be called a typical German city: you will not find old cobbled streets nor pensioners strolling along them. Instead of beer, local people of Frankfurt drink apple wine and prepare Flammenkuchen instead of German sausages.

However, you shouldn’t think that there is nothing interesting to see in Frankfurt. There are a lot of places to visit.

What to expect from the city

There are many misbeliefs about Frankfurt. Those who have never been there or visited the city in transit may confuse their first impression and miss out on a lot of important things. Here are some of the most unpredictable things about the city.

1. Frankfurt is a sports city
   On weekends, on the Main Embankment, you can see crowds of people of different ages jogging, old people doing morning exercises, and fearless rowers ready to go out even in winter. Frankfurt is famous for its marathon, which takes place every year at the end of October. Tens of thousands of people from around the world come to the city to participate in this sporting event.
2. Frankfurt knows how to shock you
   Even though the city is full of stiff workers on the upper floors of banks and offices, who drive expensive cars, wear costumes for hundreds of euros, poverty can be seen very close at its most primitive manifestation.
3. Frankfurt has an old history
   At the end of World War II, Frankfurt was occupied by American troops, who incidentally bombed the entire historic city centre. Therefore, Frankfurt is now so heavily built up with skyscrapers and other modern architectural constructions. You are unlikely to find at least one original building older than the mid-twentieth century. All the main historical sights are a successful and very believable attempt to restore the buildings destroyed during the war.

Sticking to this checklist, you will feel the atmosphere of the city and will understand its uniqueness in full.
