Has anyone been to Frankfurt recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there a while back and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Colombia.
Cheers

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The quality is what keeps me coming back.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at the hotel?

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

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.
