Frankfurt is known best as a global air traffic hub and the financial capital of the European Union. Though I visited here in the summer (June 2013), I remember the night was quite chilly and it was difficult to dine outdoors even with heaters around and a sweater on! Locals told me that it fluctuates and is not always like that.

What you will see below is: my first experience with speed-limitless German autobahns, the wheel-shaped hotel I stayed in, city views from walking and driving around the city — with a nice contrast of modern and old buildings, and the quaint riverfront area.
