💡 Local Tips

Insider advice from the LonelyRoad community

  • 📱 Mobile Data & eSIM: Get data for Frankfurt with PikaSim - 1GB for 1 days costs $1.30 (other options: 0.5GB/1d for $0.80, 0.3GB/1d for $0.90). Privacy-focused, no account needed, instant activation. Get yours at https://pikasim.com/download-germany-esim-packages
  • Visa & Entry for Germany citizens: As a German citizen, you're traveling domestically within Germany, so no visa, passport, or special entry requirements are needed. A valid ID card (Personalausweis) is sufficient for identification purposes. No entry fees, tourist taxes at arrival, or pre-registration required.
  • Frankfurt's nightlife centers around Bahnhofsviertel (edgy, diverse bars and clubs), Sachsenhausen (traditional apple wine taverns), and Ostend (trendy cocktail bars). Most clubs open after midnight and peak around 2-3am. Dress code varies - techno clubs are casual, upscale bars require smart casual.
  • Public transport is excellent and safe at night. Buy a day ticket (Tageskarte) for €5.35 covering all zones. RMV app makes navigation easy. Night buses (Nachtbus) run when U-Bahn/S-Bahn stops around 1:30am on weekdays.
  • Frankfurt is very safe for solo travelers, but Bahnhofsviertel near the main station can be sketchy late at night due to open drug scene. Stay aware but don't worry excessively - violence is rare. Stick to well-lit main streets.
  • Many traditional restaurants and bars are cash-only (especially apple wine taverns). Always carry €50-100 cash. ATMs are everywhere but may charge fees for non-German bank cards.
  • To meet other travelers: Stay at social hostels like Frankfurt Hostel, join pub crawls departing from Römerberg, or use apps like Meetup for expat/traveler events. Coworking spaces host regular networking events.
  • Apple wine (Apfelwein/Ebbelwoi) is Frankfurt's signature drink - try it in Sachsenhausen taverns. Order 'Bembel' (large pitcher) and 'Handkäs mit Musik' (local cheese specialty). It's an acquired taste but quintessentially Frankfurt!
