EUROPE 2019 - FRANKFURT

Firenze SMN - Frankfurt Hbf

Departed Firenze SMN to Milano Centrale at 0906 (delayed). The coach was clean and comfortable. Premium ticket includes drinks and biscuits. There was wifi onboard but on that day we could not surf the internet. At 1000 the train stopped after Bologna due to some technical problem of the oncoming train. Back on track at 1011. Due to the delay (including at departure), it was quite stressful for us as we had a connecting train to Frankfurt Hbf departing at 1123. Luckily we reached Milano Centrale at 1109 but had to rush to our coach to Frankfurt which was quite a distance (from platform 4 to platform 12). 

The train departed at 1133 instead of 1123 probably due to the delay.  The coach was clean with comfortable legroom but no wifi onboard. Our seats were facing forward from Milano Centrale-Bern, backward from Bern-Basel and forward again from Basel-Frankfurt. As we entered Switzerland @1330, our passports we checked.



Ibis Styles Frankfurt City

We checked-in at Ibis Styles Frankfurt City Hotel (breakfast included). It's about 400 meters from Frankfurt Hbf. The decent size room has clean sheets, very clean bathroom, comfortable pillows, and bed. Wifi was good and stable. Unfortunately, the room has no fridge. 

Walking Tour of Frankfurt

Here in Frankfurt, we did the walking tour as most of the tourist spots are within walking distance from our hotel i.e. Eurotower, Romerberg, Frankfurt Cathedral, Eiserner Stag, Mainkai, Hauptwache, and The Zeil.

Flea Market Frankfurt

We had the opportunity to witness this flea market at Shaumainkai Sachsenhausen.

Boat Cruise

We took the Primus-Linie 50 minutes Downstream (direction Griesheim) boat cruise.


Halal Restaurant - Thai Fun

There are several halal eateries around our hotel but we frequented the Thai Fun Restaurant during our stay in Frankfurt. It is very near to our hotel and Frankfurt Hbf. The food especially the Tomyam was delicious and the property is very clean and beautifully decorated.
