no more than a night
Smallish place, not much going on there...but check it out if u passing by...don't get to excited about the idea of Frankfurt though!
Insider Tip:the history museum is pretty good...and I hear its free on certain days
First stop in Europe for thousands of intrepid travellers day after day, Frankfurt-am-Main (as it is officially known) is best-known for its position as the financial capital of the superpower that is Germany. True, this is where the European Central Bank is headquartered, and backing it up are another 325 financial institutions. But complimenting them is Europe's most spectacular skyline, a nightlife that refuses to take a break any night of the week, plus all those stereotypical things that we love about Germany like Frankfurter sausages and boisterous beer halls. Take the time to explore it, not just rest in it.

I only spent like 13 hours in Frankfurt, so I had to make the best out of it! We went to a Sischa club near the UE central bank, great place and, guess what, brazilian music! It was cool! we also took a walk and ate the kebab, you can't miss it!
Insider Tip:Do not bring a heavy bag, you'll regret it!
I read that Frankfurt is the most "un-German" city in Germany. After visiting I would say it's not like other German cities I've been to because of the skyscrapers towering over the financial center downtown. It's great to take photos of! You almost forget you are in Germany for a bit, but pop into a bar and you are back. The people were very nice and the nightlife is great!
Insider Tip:I always recommend to any traveler to purchase a Lonely Planet book series before traveling anywhere. Lonely planet has the best regional/country/city guidebooks money can buy. I definitely recommend to get lost in the city and pop into a pub or restaurant, we had great luck with that.
Not that much to do to be honest. A few Museums and Galleries, If I go again I will check out the night life.
If you have limited time in Germany, you can probably skip this city. Berlin/Munich are much better places to visit and spend your time.
