If I may ask, did you encounter language barrier issues? Were you okay with speaking English in restaurants?

Maybe it is worth to mention, that pretty much all cities in Germany have a rule: no building may be higher, than the highest church. Frankfurt is the only German city that has skyscrapers.

[@asenseoftravel]

I noticed that when in Berlin - the TV Tower of course being the exception

[@fernandoborjes4822]

Thank you very much for capturing the real frankfurt and not just criticizing the tiny hauptbahnhof area like all the other youtubers who thought that a room for 30 euros was a good idea. Frankfurt has so much to offer and is one of the most relaxed and calm cities with skyscrapers in the world. It also has a very high quality of life and infrastructure for its citizens.

[@asenseoftravel]

I appreciate that! It's a shame that others base their perception of Frankfurt just on the train station area-like any big city on the planet, there are so many layers to Frankfurt, and the Hauptbahnhof area is just a tiny piece of the puzzle. I agree completely with how relaxed and calm it feels. Great city, delicious food, beautiful architecture, and very kind people.

This is such a smell heavy review, love it.

[@asenseoftravel]

Thank you! Smells are so important to how we experience places

[@hothotheat3000]

I’m going there for the first time in a few days. I’m quite nervous, but your video has helped ease my anxiety.

[@asenseoftravel]

I'm glad it was helpful! I hope you love Frankfurt as much as I did

[@stang1985]

Good video. Friends and I had beverages at the Long Island Bar in Sachsenhausen during my last visit.

[@asenseoftravel]

Thank you! And nice-Sachsenhausen was a cool area for sure. I didn't make it over there at night time so I imagine the bars and pubs are a bit more lively

[@WinterwolfFFM]

Amazing video. Very well done even though sometimes slightly confusing (but I guess since it's from the perspective of a tourist it's understandable and ok ^^) The only thing I strongly disagree with as a Frankfurter (and sorry but it really made me gag 😅) is the music bavarian beergarden choice in the back. Not fitting and has nothing to do with us (we're in Frankfurt not in Munich 😉.... it's like making a video about NYC and coloring it with John Denver country music "Rocky mountain high" just becaus it's 'American' .... get it 😜) But overall very nice. Love the video ❤

[@asenseoftravel]

That makes a lot of sense! I'll admit I had a hard time figuring out what kind of music would capture Frankfürt the best - what genre would you say is the most "Frankfurter?"

[@WinterwolfFFM]

@@asenseoftravel Frankfurt is a very modern metropolislike city that filled the gaps between the leftover buildings from times of old and has that unique apple wine culture that is very regional. So I think modern urban music choice as well as classical in a mix would suit it best. Or german "Schlager" music from the 1920s-70s 🙂👍.... that will capture the city's spirit depending on the scenes the audience sees.

The state of Bavaria consists of the cultural region Franconia in the north and the so called region of Old-Bavaria in the south. In Old-Bavaria you will not find any half-timbered houses but those with a typical alpine touch. So calling the style of northern or central regions of Germany typical Bavarian is like claiming Texas barbecue is the typical dish in Maine and Oregon. Oh, and the tradional shindles in Frankfurt are not made of terracotta but of slate 😉

[@asenseoftravel]

Thanks for this comment and info! A few people have commented this and I think it's so interesting. In the US (where admittedly, we're not culturally up-to-speed), half-timbers are almost always labeled as "Bavarian." That said, I'm happy to spread the word that it is not ;)

[@zeisselgaertner3212]

@@asenseoftravel Where to start. There are some many misconceptions around. 😁 But I'll never get tired. And as other people are constantly working on it. I'm joyning the club. The Oktoberfest starts in september and is situated exclusively in Munich. All other beer festivals in Germany have there own names. Calling a beer festival "Oktoberfest" outside of Munich .... is American 😗 Germany does not automaticly mean beer. Wine is the predominant cultural drink in many regions of central and south-western Germany. Frankfurt e.g. has third type of drink: apple wine, kind of a less sweet cidre. Most beer per capita is drunken in the Czech Republic followed by Austria. There is no such thing as THE typical German cuisine. The dishes a very much influenced by the climat, the soil, the neighboring nations and the proximity to the sea. Oh, and did you know that this little man with the funny tiny mustage was Austrian. Whereas Beethoven was German.

The only video I've seen that actually makes Frankfurt look kinda fun. Most internet commentators seem to think Frankfurt is basically a giant bore full of crazy homeless people.

[@asenseoftravel]

Frankfurt is fun indeed! I won't pretend it's New York or London, but it's far from boring. I really enjoyed my time there

[@kermitfrosch6559]

Small corrections: The shopping center is called "My Zeil" and the roof/viewing platform of the Main Tower is 200m high. The tower with antenna has a height of 240m.

[@asenseoftravel]

Noted! Thanks for the corrections - but more importantly thank you for watching!

[@danitoni4741]

260 m height till roof , with antenna 300 m They are builing now other high builing with 290 m till the roof

[@kermitfrosch6559]

@@danitoni4741 You mean the Commerzbank Tower with 259m (300m with antenna/spire). And the other building you mentioned is the Millenium Tower which was basically planned with a height of 365m. Now their are planning two towers. Tower 1 with a minimum roof height of 288m (in Frankfurt the final heights are usually 5-15m higher than the original planned heights) and Tower 2 should min. 157m high.

@@kermitfrosch6559 yes :) Frankfurt is amazing , they build there like crazy The Four project is almost finished and will look awsome :) Frankfurt is very nice city Police should only take care or Junkies in centrum / Bahnhofsviertel View streets only but it should be done

[@kermitfrosch6559]

@@danitoni4741 Directly opposite the “Four”, the 206m high “Business Central Tower”, which is already under construction, is rising. This is a very strong condensation of this area. Also nearby, on the site of the new opera, a 160-170m high tower is to be built. And a 175m high tower will be built next year at the area of the old police headquarters. There's still a lot to come....

[@thelastduden]

9:39 you walked past the old citywall (it's only remains at least)

[@JoernBeneken]

You have fogotten to show the old opera house, one of the most beautiful ones in Germany.

Amazing video. I'm your fan!!!

[@asenseoftravel]

Appreciate you being here!

I was in Frankfurt a few years back. The German tour guide told us it's pronounced.... MINE River.

Name and location where u eat or find the food u eat where u where eating...

[@thelastduden]

10:38 that's an s-Bahn - the real metro (u-Bahn) is a lot cleaner and nicer

[@haldie94]

PLEASE!!! Its not NOT Bavarian Style.... there is a huge different between bavaria and hesse style from old buildings...

[@asenseoftravel]

Understood! When I was solo travelling, I didn't have a guide to tell me, but the beautiful half timbers looked very much like what I associated with the Bavarian style (here in the US, most people associate half-timbers with Bavaria). But thank you for the correction

[@JonnyBoots2020]

No frankfurters ?

[@fergallawlor5829]

Was only there 2 days ago more than cigarette smoke drugs hash smell or whatever you call it in the USA. Plenty of grounds near the business area.

[@nelsonvh3033]

Kinda creepy that all the shots with yourself in them are mirrored….and there is no umlaut in Frankfurt btw

[@tillappelhans4985]

You keep on talking about Bavarian Architecture????? in Hessen???? If you want to say half-timbered or something, I am fine with it, but this is not BAVARIAN Architecture. Frankfurt is not in Bavaria and if you can't even get this thing right, I am wondering why I should like or subscribe to your channel. I am stopping right here.

[@asenseoftravel]

That's fair! I'm sorry to have upset you so much. Have a great day!

[@asenseoftravel]

(and my apologies. From what I understood, half timbered architecture is most commonly associated with Bavaria, hence Bavarian style architecture. But alas, I am just a guest in the cities I travel to, and by no means an expert).

[@janettieh2140]

You’ll find some beautiful half-timbered houses in the small towns and villages in Hessen. Definitely worth a visit. But it’s not Bavarian architecture - that’s a major error.

[@a.r.stellmacher8709]

Lively Frankfurt, beautiful. Thanks for showing

[@asenseoftravel]

Of course! And thank you for watching

12:44 not a frankfurter Würstchen. Rindswurst. Still very specific to Frankfurt, and actually preferable, but not quite the same

[@thomaseriksson5251]
