Planning my first trip to Frankfurt in the next few months. I've read through a lot of the older threads but wanted to check if the info is still current.
My main questions:
- Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
- Realistic daily budget?
- Any areas to avoid?
- How welcoming are the locals to foreign visitors?
I'm coming from Canada and have experience in a few different countries but this would be my first time in Frankfurt.
Thanks for any help!

I was there in January and prices were great value.
Spent about $62/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 7/10 destination.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.
