Returned from 7 days in Frankfurt. Mixed feelings but mostly positive.
Accommodation:
Budget hotel near the main area. $49/night. Walking distance to everything.
Scene:
Quieter than I hoped but still good. Prices were fair for the quality.
Quality:
Varied — some great, some average. Had 9 encounters total.
Logistics:
Taxis are cheap but negotiate first. Food was cheap and delicious.
Safety:
No issues at all.
Overall: 7/10. Good destination, recommend for first-timers.
Happy to answer any questions.
Returning to Frankfurt after 3 years — what's different?

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Quick question — how was the wifi?

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in last month and prices were great value. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.
