Wimby Itineraries

Frankfurt has a lot of great museums, restaurants, and stores; the nightlife is also great! The sights are not very far from each other and are definitely walkable. However, if you’d like, the Frankfurt train, which is about 8 euros a day, it will take you to where you need to go within the city.
