Today we found a walking tour of the city here by a University group. It was a really great. The guide was a local guy who lived nearby and gave us some good insights into the history of the city. The tour was about 2 hrs or so. We took in some famous sights and interesting facts about the rebuilding of the city after WWII.

Frankfurt is very central in Germany and has been a trading, political and financial hub for a long time. It is the home to the launched Euro dollar a few years back. Though not the capital it has a big influence on Germany. It is also a very Arty place as we have found out.
After the tour went over to the market area to have a squizz. Lots of meat, fish, fruit and veggies as you would expect.

After that we wanted to go to the Old Opera house area and tried to catch a train or bus but after a bit decided to grabbed an eco tour bike ride (Velotaxi) and went for 1/2 trip around on the way to the opera house. It was cool. Some good info from the driver, and he zoomed in and out of small places.
We saw this auto bus down by the river that goes up and down the road which has been closed to cars. No driver!!
We had some tastes of the local cuisine at a street market near where we are staying. Tried a German sausage in a bun, some potato type salad and some Apple wine. Quite nice.
