Gourmet & Accommodation & Shopping

• ##### Gourmet

Frankfurt is the first stop for most visitors to Europe and the most cosmopolitan city in Germany. Although Germany is not famous for its food, it will never be ill-treated by the stomach of the foodies. Speaking of the cuisine of Frankfurt, I believe that the first reaction of many people is the Frankfurt sausage. In fact, in addition to sausages and pigs, the local specialties include schnitzel, apple wine (Apfelwein), green sauce and cheese (Handkäse mit Musik). Don't be misled by the name "Music with cheese", think it is a cheese that will play music. In fact, the music here refers to the seasonings of cheese mixed with onions, vinegar and other ingredients. It is said that this wonderful mixture will produce some kind of gas after the lower belly, so that your body begins to sing.

Urban traffic

Frankfurt Light Rail S-Bahn Frankfurt has 9 light rail lines that can be used to travel to other nearby cities such as Wiesbaden, Mainz and Darmstadt. The inbound port has a clear yellow-green “S” sign and sometimes shares an entrance with the subway. When buying a light rail ticket, you need to pay attention to the difference between the 50th and 5090 districts, the first-class train and the second-class train. If you buy the wrong or sit wrong, you will be fined. The light rail lines are much more complicated than the subway, and they need to be more careful when looking at the traffic map, but they all pass through the train stations (Hauptbahnhof), Hauptwache and Konstablerwache. S-Bahn's operating hours are generally from 4:00 to 1:00 am the next day, but the interval between each shuttle is longer than the U-Bahn. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that when the vehicle is getting on and off, the button on the door needs to be pressed, and the door will open.

Frankfurt Underground U-Bahn Frankfurt has eight metro lines, all running in downtown Frankfurt. The direct distance from each station is not very far, and the subway entrance has a clear blue “U” mark, which is easy to find. The information screen on the subway station will display 4 upcoming trains, the arriving terminal and the main station passing by. There will be a clear road map when entering the subway station. Please read it carefully and avoid the wrong direction. U-Bahn's operating hours are generally from 4:00 until 1:30 am the next day. The specific operation time of each line is subject to the information in the subway station.

Frankfurt bicycle There are plenty of bicycle trails in Frankfurt for tourists to go cycling between April and December. The more convenient car rental company for tourists is Deutsche Bahn. Look for the red and white logo with the DB letter on the roadside, especially on the street corner. Those are the main pick-ups and return points. With a mobile phone and a credit card, you can rent a car 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Frankfurt taxi It is not difficult to take a taxi in Frankfurt. Taxi parking spots can be found everywhere (eg Römer / Braubachstrasse, Kaiserstrasse, Schweizer Platz, Bockenheimer Warte). In the evening, it is best to find a slightly better driver. Get off the bus and remember to have a small ticket with the driver, in case you need it. Taxi in Germany is less likely to have a detour. The driver's car has navigation. If you are going to a place that is not particularly easy to find, you can tell them the house number or zip code. The average price of a taxi is 2.5 Euros, and then 1.65 Euros a kilometer. Most drivers now accept credit cards. In the main sightseeing area of the city center, visitors who do not want to walk can choose to take the “human rent”, which can pull 1-2 people each time.
