🇩🇪 Frankfurt diaries

Spent four days in Frankfurt and honestly fit in a lot, especially shopping and food. If you’re planning a short trip, here’s what we did and what I’d recommend. We stayed at Maseven Frankfurt Messe. It was affordable, included breakfast, and even though it’s not in the center, getting around was super easy. Public transport is straightforward. Day tickets cost about €7.50 or €12.50 if you include the airport zone. We started with shopping in the Zeil area. There are tons of stores and a lot of sales going on. They also have shops we don’t have in Greece like Urban Outfitters and Primark, so that was a win. Before that we stopped at Dunkin’ Donuts for a quick treat. For dinner we went to Sojubar, a Korean place that was really good. We spent around €40 each but ordered a lot. We had planned to check out a club or rave but most of them only open Friday and Saturday and we didn’t have time. The next day we visited Palmengarten, a peaceful garden that’s perfect for a morning stroll. We then went to Iimori Ichiba for Japanese snacks and onigiri and had bingsoo at Kyubang. Later we wandered around Römerberg the old town area, grabbed some souvenirs, and even found a Carhartt t-shirt 50% off. On Friday there was a festival going on so we grabbed some shawarma from a vendor. We also went to Photo Label, a themed Korean style photo booth studio with props which is super fun if you love cute pics. During the concert we tried Currywurst for potatoes, and hot dogs. No photos but it was worth it. It’s Germany so we had to try the sausage at least once. Before heading to the airport on Saturday, we went to Iimori Pâtisserie for coffee and pastries. It is probably connected to Iimori Ichiba because it had the same cozy vibe. We also tried boba tea from Kikilucky which is right outside the metro. Such a good last stop.
