Re: Dilemma - please help (4.00 / 2)

Unless you feel the pull of say, the Goethe house or the Communications museum you can see most of what is to be seen in the centre of Frankfurt in around 3 hours or so I would say.

Re: Dilemma - please help (none / 1)

I think that is my most likely option. I'd like to see the skyscrapers! Do you know if I'd be able to leave my backpack at the train station? lockers/left luggage?

Yes, according to this they do have luggage lockers. (Actually, I knew that without checking; all large stations in Germany do. But this website is useful for checking if you are going to a much smaller station, which may not have them).

Ah thanks. I found a traveller review that thought there were lockers, but thanks for confirming. That makes all the difference! I can explore Frankfurt for a few hours without a huge backpack to drag about with me.

There used to be both, but I haven't been there for a couple of years now. Google seems to indicate they are still there.
