Read moreShopping and dining in the Frankfurt Skyline Plaza.
A trip to Skyline Plaza is worthwhile.

There you can do wonderful shopping and[…]

Do you know the Berger Street? Frankfurt has the Römer, the ECB, the Eiserner Steg, the Main River, the Zeil, etc., but if you want to see a little more than just the hardcore tourist spots, you should definitely make a small detour from the city center and take a stroll up and down the Berger.

Punctuality doesn’t always work out so well either. So you should plan enough time if you have to go to an important appointment. However, if you are travelling in Frankfurt without[…]
