Good Morning Livejournal!
Yesterday I booked a holiday! J, myself, and two friends will be visiting Frankfurt for a week in mid-November, to coincide with my birthday and my friend's birthday. We'll be staying with another friend who is currently living there, but she'll have to spend some of the time working, and so I'm looking for suggestions for things to do and places to see.
I like old places, very new places, theatre, shopping, quirky bars, bookshops, hiking, cycling, adventure sports, and interesting art-that-isn't-just-painting (exception Pre-Raphaelites).
I dislike following the tourist trail and visiting more than one museum in a day.
All suggestions welcome!
I would also appreciate recommendations for a good website or book or download that I can use to learn some German - I don't speak a word of German, and I don't like visiting a country without at least a basic grasp of the language.
Any and all suggestions are much appreciated!!
