So every year my dad has business in Europe to attend to and every year once his meetings are over he'll come over to London and spend the weekend catching up with me. This year however he suggested shouting me a trip to Europe with him (I'm a student with no current summer job- ALTHOUGH IF ANYONE IS HIRING HOLLA ATCHA GIRL- I'm kidding- no but seriously feel free to contact me haha). He's asked me to meet him in Frankfurt on his last day of meetings and as the only flight I could get lands at 9:40am in the morning I thought HEY why not let Frankfurt be the highlight of Wanderlust Wednesday and also help me find out what I could do this city until my dad finishes his meetings.

So without further adue here is the VERY long over waited post for Wanderlust Wednesday!

• Why not check out Frankfurt's Main Tower which is named after the Main River which runs through the city centre and is also the best way to view this wonderful city. 
• There's a hop-on-hop-off that is perfect for any tourist who wants to tailor make their own Frankfurt adventure.
• Travel down to Sachsenhausen to dabble in some delicious cider (if your over 18+) or try their notable Apfelwein (apple wine).
• Römerberg is normally the first stop for most travellers. Found in the old town of Frankfurt it is filled with beautiful historic buildings some of which are reconstructions of the 15th and 16th century original versions not mention it holds trade fairs and all kinds of festivities that have been going on since the 12th century.
• If you're feeling for a bit of shopping then head on down to the German "Fifth Avenue"- Zeil which is a host of many different shops and malls. Perhaps you here you can find something nice for yourself or grab a lil gift for your friends and family back home?
• If you travel along the southern bank of the Main you will come across Museumufer which is a cluster of many museums in wonderfully restored villas. Here's the wikipedia page that shows you all the types of museums that can be found along the embankment-  Museumsufer Museums
• Check out the Kaiserdom which is also known as the Frankfurt Cathedral. I'm a sucker for big beautiful churches, I think the interiors inside are so beautiful and the artwork so majestic. (I studied Art History in high school so tend to get lady boners over all these old paintings in churches and museums- I've still yet to see the Louvre!)
• There is also the Alte Oper to see if you're after a more cultural experience. The opera house was heavily damaged during WWII but since then has been re-constructed and opened up as a concert hall. Even if you're not interested in checking out the events the building itself looks beautiful and one of the attractions I'd love to see in the flesh.

Once again here's a few taster options on the city Frankfurt to get the ball rolling for your possible next wanderlust adventure. I myself am looking forward to hopefully immersing myself in this city, perhaps i may even see if there's a downloadable walking tour on the internet for me to get lost in the city too. 

If there's any cities you want me to feature feel free to pop them in a comment and i'll add them to my list. OR if you yourself have visited Frankfurt comment on what you did and saw and what you recommend my lovely readers...

Until next time...
