Book a budget hotel in Frankfurt

Work up your appetite starting from the breakfast served at your hotel. For your lunches and dinners, you can try the local specialties. The unbeatable Wurst, or smoked sausage, is enjoyed with all the sauces and is most often served with potatoes and sauerkraut. Also very typical is grüne soße, a sauce with seven herbs, to be enjoyed with hard-boiled eggs. Many Germans drink beer with their meals. In Frankfurt, beer competes with cider or Apfelwein. For desserts, the Frankfurt Crown Cake delights with its almond flavor.

A vibrant city, Frankfurt has a packed calendar of events. The festivities kick off in the most beautiful way with the carnival in February. In the spring, you will find the sparkling Luminale. This event, which takes place every two years, allows visitors to explore the city through lighting designs. May welcomes the famous Night of Museums, which takes place throughout Europe. Taking place this month is also the Green Sauce Festival, a true icon of Frankfurt’s gourmet cuisine. In the summer and fall, it’s time for culture with Museumsuferfest, the Book Fair, and Deutsches Jazzfestival.

Bombed during World War II, Frankfurt saw many of its old structures destroyed. It wasn’t until the 1980s that its city center, Römerberg, underwent a nearly identical reconstruction, thanks to historical documents. Although these monuments are not the original ones, they are a beautiful representation of what the main square was before the war. These include the Fountain of Justice and the six timber-framed medieval houses facing the city hall.
