We walked for miles around Frankfurt on a beautiful summer day, listening to a multitude of languages. What a cosmopolitan city.
-
- Frankfurt, home to the European Central Bank, Deutsche Bank, and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, may replace London as Europe’s post Brexit financial center.
-
- The “Pulse of Europe”, an EU movement founded by a Frankfurt attorney, holds rallies to promote European unity through EU membership.
-
- A tongue in cheek jab at her majesty. Long Live Europe instead of Long Live the Queen.
-
- Amazing architecture at MyZeil shopping mall in Frankfurt. That’s a real hole that provides ample natural light indoors.
-
- Eiserner Steg, the Iron Bridge that carries 10,000 pedestrians a day. Built in 1868, it was destroyed in WWII and rebuilt after.
-
- I’m not sure what Mike likes better – this guy’s all-in-one business model or his awesome hat.
-
- Frankfurt’s population includes 51% immigrants, mostly from Turkey. We were surprised to see so many headscarves.
-
- Römer, German for Roman, is an area with houses that now form City Hall. Newly crowned emperors used to hold enormous celebratory banquets here.
-
- We took the train from Frankfurt to Nürnberg and luckily made it back, with the help of Google Translate and despite our jet lag.
