As a Frankfurter I can assure you that even the Bahnhofsviertel is relatively safe, it just feels unsafe. Regardless of that, I would not recommend anyone to stay there unless you like noise 24/7 and streets that smell like piss and vomit. Don't feel bad about leaving Frankfurt early and not seeing the city. There is a reason it is not an over touristy place. Frankfurt is not a pretty city for tourists and doesn't try to be. I can say it is a great place to live, but it is not a city that you can just stroll around and see a lot of beauty. Frankfurt is a city that needs to be researched before hand and you need to know where the places worth visiting are, because they are not all in the old town, as with big touristic cities, they are more spread out, because they are built for locals, not for tourists. Personally I would only recommend visiting Frankfurt if you have a layover because of a flight or train trip here and then visiting interesting places with a purpose and plan, for example visiting the museums on the river embankment, going to the botanical gardens (Palmengarten), the Goethe tower, a 100m high wooden lookout tower on the south side of the city (Sachsenhausen), the former IG Farben Complex (now the main campus of the University of Frankfurt) and having a traditional Frankfurt meal and apple wine (Apfelwein) at Dauth-Schneider in Sachsenhausen. Also, you can be really glad you didn't go to Berlin. Every square meter of Berlin is as disgusting as the Bahnhofsviertel in Frankfurt.
I actually came from Cologne and did a sleepover and the next day I was suppose to go to Berlin, so it was just a half-a-day trip to Frankfurt. I saw even the pretty parts of the city, such as the Main Tower, Opera etc (you can see that in my previous video about Frankfurt). Yes, it's my mistake and I learned a lesson from not researching where exactly I'm going and what the situation is there like. It was my first ever solo trip and it shows 😆. So now I know if I'm ever gonna go somewhere again, to not check the hotels by prices but by the location and reviews, cause I clearly didn't do that this time.
That is a fair comment, but increasingly tourists to W Europe report straying into 'no go zones' - it is a canary in the coal mine that should warn governments and prompt them to take action
I would recommend staying in hotel called Motel One Frankfurt-Römer (link in the description of this video). It is approx. 20 minutes by walk from the train station, easily reached by a tram too. The hotel is absolutely wonderful and if I could re-plan it, this is the one I'd go to! And if I didn't have this sort of experience, I would totally enjoy it! But because I was scared & paranoid that someone is still gonna walk into my room (even in 4 ⭐️ hotel), I didn't sleep a single second. But there was nothing to be scared about at all.
Knowledge is power. Unfortunately, you neglected to inform yourself about the Bahnhofsviertel before you booked a hotel there. If you hadn't wet your pants right away, you would have realized that 300 m away it is already completely normal and inconspicuous. But apart from that, every American city is 1000 times worse and more dangerous than the Bahnhofsviertel. And you could have gone out on your own, because the people in the station district are all so preoccupied with themselves that they completely ignore tourists.
I always thought Germans were super civilized and German cities super secured! I have only been to Berlín and just a couple of days and have a good impression. So sorry you went through this :(
Frankfurt is far from being a terrible city. Only 200 meters from where she booked her hotel, the city is clean, attractive and the city center and the area around the Main are great. But if you book a hotel in the little corner of the city where the drug addicts hang out and then don't even dare to step outside the door to find that it looks completely different 3 minutes away, I can only feel sorry for her. If you look at other reports from tourists in Frankfurt, you get a real picture and not this biased perception of a woman who probably wets her pants when a balloon pops. People like that are not fit to visit other countries. Knowledge is power. She has none of it
@@MartaGarcia-qy7yc The area around the train station in Frankfurt is the meeting place for the city's drug addicts. The majority of these people do not come from Germany. And if you don't wet your pants just because you see homeless people and drug addicts on the sidewalks about 100 meters around the train station, you'll realize that 3 minutes' walk away is a modern, attractive city where you can store, eat and party. And the historic district around the Römer is very well known. This woman is a pantser and should definitely not be traveling alone. Because every big city has a corner where the outcasts of society hang out and she always thinks that the whole city is terrible. I honestly feel sorry for her. A German or other European woman would have looked at her, shaken her head and walked through with her head held high... And not sleeping all night because of the people on the street? .... ridiculous... But of course a good story and click bait

Ridiculous. There's more than one hotel. And none are terrible.
Well they might be good, but the area is scary 😄
if you could re plan the trip where would you recommend staying in frankfurt ( not this area / place of course )
Avoid it, stay in Mainz, Wiesbaden or Würzburg they’re much nicer.

And those are not Homeless people were you were at, those people are junkies
Places not to stay in Frankfurt: Around the train station. But even there are decent hotels that are perfectly fine.

I was outside, check the previous vlog. 😉
You seem to be bored cause you keep commenting on this video😀
So sorry to hear. Frankfurt sounds like a awful city.
There are so many great places. next time will be better
It is just my point of view and my experience! To others it can be a wonderful city! 😊
