Ready for outdoor food markets, an excellent café culture and world-leading museums? Welcome to Frankfurt. And no, we won’t accept it as a second city to the likes of Berlin and Munich. No sir.  When it comes to Germany, all roads actually lead to Frankfurt (no, we mean that literally). It’s home to the country’s biggest Autobahn interchange, biggest airport and a very busy train station. Frankfurt is where it’s at. Here are the best things to do in the city.  RECOMMENDED:🍳 The best breakfast spots in Frankfurt 🌭 The best restaurants in Frankfurt🍻 The best bars in Frankfurt🛌 The best Airbnbs in Frankfurt⭐ The best Frankfurt attractions This guide was updated by Florian Siebeck, a writer based in Frankfurt.

Breakfast has long been vaunted as the most important meal of the day, and we aren’t about to disagree. If you’re going to get things done (and the people of Frankfurt like to get things done), fuel is always required. Luckily for the early risers, this famous city on the River Main is packed with excellent breakfast options. If you aren’t so much of an early riser but still want to feast on eggs, bacon, muffins and the rest, you’ll be happy to hear that the brunch bandwagon has well and truly made it to Frankfurt. Brunch is a big deal here, and we’re not just talking your typical avo and eggs; think breakfast tacos, buttermilk pancakes, and so much more. No matter your preference, Frankfurt’s best breakfast and brunch spots will likely provide it.  RECOMMENDED:🌭 The best restaurants in Frankfurt🍻 The best bars in Frankfurt📍 The best things to do in Frankfurt🛌 The best Airbnbs in Frankfurt Planning your next trip?

Frankfurt’s food scene can get a little overshadowed by its big boy neighbours, Berlin and Munich, but make no mistake: this city has it going on. Traditional German grub reigns supreme here, so you’ll get your schnitzel, sauerkraut and grüne soße (a seriously moreish green sauce), but a load of indie restaurants are serving up delightful international cuisine too; think falafel, ramen, homely Italians and more.
