Preparing your trip to Frankfurt am Main: advices & hints - things to do and to obey

Frankfurt am Main 1. Frankfurt has a rather mild climate; fans of excursions and walks in the fresh air would find comfortable to relax there at any time of the year. The coldest month of the year is February, and the hottest one is August. It should be noted that both in winter and in summer rains are rare, so incessant rains and snowfalls won’t spoil holiday plans.
2. Summer is traditionally considered the high season; many travelers visit the city on the eve of Christmas holidays. At this time there are always public entertainment and colorful markets in Frankfurt.
3. Travelers arriving to the airport of Frankfurt can get to the city center by train. In this case, the journey will take about 15 minutes; trains S8 and S9 go to the downtown. An alternative to electric trains is a bus, but in this case the trip can be a little bit longer.
4. Travelers who arrive by car have to consider that during the daytime traffic along major highways is always difficult. A great part of the city is considered a pedestrian area closed for drivers; in particular, the vehicle can’t drive through Zeil shopping street.
5. Public transport in Frankfurt is represented by an extensive network of trams and buses; the city has the subway too. It’s worth noting that some buses run through the city even at night, but the traffic interval at night is pretty large. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
6. One of the best ways to get around the city is a bike; you can rent it at one of the rental centers. Deutsche Bahn centers are considered the most popular; they are situated at main crossroads of the city and near railway stations. The average cost of renting two-wheeler is 15 euros per day.
7. Through the main streets of the city tourists can walk safely even late at night. You shouldn’t explore remote areas of Frankfurt and visit desolate places at nights, as it is likely to become a victim of robbers.
