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 the US and have experience in Southeast Asia but this would be my first time in Frankfurt.
Thanks for any help!

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

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

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

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $53/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
