Hessen Region Travel Guide

Scams run rampant. If someone asks you to buy them a drink, you had better know what they are asking you to pay before they place the order; they could work for the establishment and cahrge whatever they think you are worth for probably tap water. As a general rule, if you seek something out or find something on your own to buy, great; if someone approaches you concerning anything related to money changing hands, just say no.

CAFE
There is a wonderful cafe, gastro pub, called "21. Jahrhundert" (meaning 21st Century). The chef is creating every time some of the most tasteful food, you can imagine and breakfast on the weekends is available till late evening. You will get a list to chose from, once you ticked all the boxes with the items you want to receive, the waiter will pick it up and not long after you will be more then delighted with your choices...By the wy you will probably come across a guy at the bar called kalin, an old friend and living in my old flat just around the corner :)

Sightseeing for peace seekers
If you want to have a more laid back day, then do not miss to make your way to the westend of the ciy and visit the "Palmgarten". This very beautiful landscaped area invites you to chill out and you can see a lot of exotic plants, whilst breathing probably the freshest air that you can get in a city.

Nightlife
Frankfurt is known for its famous clubs worldwide, which will allow you to join a night out with some of the biggest Dj´s in business. Of course there are a lot of Hardcore clubs and House clubs as Cocoon (Sven Väth), U60, but there are so many clubs opening all the time and there is a variety of other music directions on offer, th ebest thing is to check out free magazines like "Fritz" to keep yourself updated.


Try to keep away shopping on "Zeil", which is one of the famous shopping miles, you won´t be able to afford anything on "Goethestraße", so no need to look there for a bargain. You will find anything on Zeil and unfortunately another couple of hundered other idiots, who are running all over the place, if that is not really after your taste, you should go to "Bornheim", which is a beautiful student like area with a bunch of good cocktail bars, cafes and restaurants and of course you can do all essential shopping there. I f you look for some new affordable designers, then try  " Berger Strasse" and you will not leave home disappointed.

Another hint for the travellers that are watching out to invest there money in booze, you can save up to 50% in Happy Hours in Bars. Usually Happy Hours are from 5-7pm. And you will fid it a great relieve to know that you will not find one bar, closing the shutters at 11pm!

Travel Safe!!! Bye Bye Alex
