A visit to City Hall is well worth the time – Frankfurt Germany<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhile Frankfurt is an incredibly international city and most people will speak some level of English, you will still hear a lot of German. It\u2019s a good idea to get a grasp of some basic German phrases before you head out. A quick list can be found here<\/a>.\u00a0Germans are incredibly hospitable and nice people – but don\u2019t be afraid if they come off as rude or indifferent. Many people will describe Germans as \u201ccoconuts\u201d \u2013 hard on the outside, but soft on the inside. Once you break through the tough outer shell, Germans make the best of friends.<\/p>\nFrankfurt Attractions<\/h2>\n

What to eat in Frankfurt<\/h2>\n
The Frankfurt food and drink scene has the best of many worlds. Whether it be Thai, Indian, Turkish, or traditional German food\/drinks, you\u2019re going to find anything and everything in this incredibly international city.<\/p>\n![\"Fish](\"https:\/\/adventurefilledlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/fish-and-chips-with-a-pint-of-cider-725x544.jpg\")
Apfelwein makes a great addition to any meal in Frankfurt!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOne of the Frankfurt classics you absolutely have to try is apfelwein, or translated to apple wine. It\u2019s a little like cider, but quite lighter than most ciders in the US. It\u2019s sometimes described as a mix between cider and wine. But, it\u2019s only found in Frankfurt, so you definitely have to give it a try when you\u2019re in town<\/p>\n
After your apfelwein, if you\u2019re craving some German classics, head to Konstablerwache station on a Thursday or Saturday for a huge market, filled to the brim with vendors selling meats, cheese, bread, sausages, and whatever else your heart could desire.<\/p>\n
And, if you\u2019re craving some taste of home, you can go to Skyline Plaza and get a burrito bowl at the only Chipotle in Europe, outside of the UK. Or go to any number of American burger joints around the city (there are tons!) like Burger Baby.<\/a><\/p>\nWhat to bring to Frankfurt<\/h2>\n
Depending on what time you go, your packing list is going to differ a lot.<\/p>\n
If you visit Frankfurt in the summer months, note that it can get pretty hot during the day and potentially a little chilly at night. Nothing that a light jacket can\u2019t fix! If you visit during the autumn months, you should bring some extra layers to be safe. If you visit during much colder and rainier months of November to March, make sure you bring a lot of layers, rain gear, and an umbrella. You don\u2019t want to be freezing cold while trying to enjoy the city.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t forget your adapters and converters! German and European outlets generally require 2-pronged plugs, rather than the 3-pronged plugs of the United States. You won\u2019t need a voltage converter for things like your smartphone and laptop, but for larger appliances and electronics like your hair dryer, you will need a voltage converter so you don\u2019t short them out. Visit this site for specific information on adapters and converters in Germany<\/a>.<\/p>\nConclusion<\/h2>\n
