Visit Frankfurt
Frankfurt is a destination seen by many as a point of arrival and departure in Europe only.

In addition, the traveler also has information posts located at strategic points and signs containing maps and distances in tourist areas, important for those who may not have a good map or a GPS.

Innenstadt: a highly pleasant region for those who wish to be well located. Here you will find Frankfurt's most famous shopping area, the Zeil, the Hauptwache square and the Frankfurt Opera House. Those staying in the area will likely make little (or no) use of public transport.
Bahnhofsviertel: the Hauptbanhof area, the central train station, is also known as a haven in Frankfurt when it comes to sex.

Therefore, those wishing to stay in quieter areas of the region can opt for the Kaiserstraße, full of shops, restaurants and very close to the main attractions.
Sachsenhausen: the district on the south side of the river is also one of the most charming in Frankfurt, precisely because it brings together the old and the new in one region. It is there that the visitor will find a series of good restaurants and taverns that serve the traditional Apfelwein.
