Most restaurants provide English menus and only once or twice did we encounter a waiter or waitress who did not speak English. Most eating establishments do not provided separate dining areas for smoking and non-smoking. Upon leaving Bavaria, we headed toward Munich to brave the big city. Munich offers a lot of interesting museums, gardens, parks, festivals and of course all the modern conveniences you would expect in a big city. Frankfurt offers similar experiences, but is less tourist-oriented and thrives as a financial and commercial center.
Most travelers fly into Frankfurt and immediately head out of the city.
Frankfurt is a hub for train and air travel and in my opinion best used as a place to change directions or mode of travel. It's very busy and expensive. It is though, a beautiful, big city with lots of skyscrapers, automobiles and traffic. A good, clean and safe room that is. Our accommodations were fair and near the heart of the city.
