Having travelled extensively across all parts of Europe over the past 20 years I am allowing myself to write the following review about Frankfurt airport. The gist of this review is that Frankfurt is a place best avoided, especially as a transfer ...

Pros: I Cannot Think of Even One
Cons: Far Too Many to List Here...

Pros: Food is excellent!
Cons: City is trashy.

To be blatantly honest, my lasting impression of Frankfort will always be the prostitutes and strip clubs. If I were a single, sleezy man, I would have been in heaven.

For the rest of us, all there is to look forward to is the delicious...

Pros: Everything is at hand here!
Cons: Needs a bit of a facelift and smoking is ACCEPTABLE, EVERYWHERE!

Frankfurt, ah, a weekend destination for me. I had planned a trip to Frankfurt for the weekend from Washington, since I had found an awesome flight price. After arriving in Frankfurt, having booked my hostel, I found the city to be really subdued in...

Pros: History, scenery, architecture
Cons: Immigration has made the country much less German since I first knew it.
