Frankfurt throws more money at the arts than any other European city, so you'll most likely catch a ground-breaking exhibition at one of its museums. And if you do happen to get stuck at the mega-airport there's a nightclub, art gallery and X-rated cinema to help while away those in-transit hours.
FRANKFURT
● When To Go
As a major trade show and convention town, Frankfurt's population swells
during March-May and September-October - which just happen to be the best
times to visit weather wise. The solution is to book ahead or stay at places
either beneath or beyond the conventioneers' budgets. The winter months
(November-February) are prone to storms and freezing temperatures but bring
a full social and entertainment schedule and zero tourist crowds. An
exception is December when the Christmas market is in full swing, June to
August can be rather hot and characterised by afternoon thunderstorms, but
on the plus side, much of the action moves outdoors, and cafes, parks and
the riverbank bustle with activity.
