🇩🇪 Frankfurt: A City of Contrasts
Frankfurt is a city of striking contradictions. On one hand, it's Germany's financial powerhouse with an impressive skyline of gleaming skyscrapers that scream modernity 🏙️. Yet nestled between these towers are charming traditional German buildings, creating this weird but fascinating blend of old and new ⚡. But here's the unsettling part – the area around the main train station (especially those three infamous streets) feels like something out of a dystopian movie 🎥. Walking there gave me serious "Philadelphia badlands" vibes from those viral videos – it's like stepping into a completely different, much darker world 🌑. Honestly, it left me with this constant low-level anxiety I couldn't shake. (Confession: Of the four German cities I visited during this 10-day trip, Frankfurt was my least favorite. The perpetual rain and 15-20°C temperatures didn't help either ☔❄️. Pro tip: Master the "German traveler's quick-change" – off with the parka for photos, immediately back on after the shot! 📸😂) Two more days until I fly home – and I've never looked forward to my own bed more! 🛏️✈️ #Frankfurt #FrankfurtVibes #UrbanExploration #ContrastCity #Wanderlust #EuropeTravel
