A. Stephan's LIFEBOOK4Life Tourist Guide for Insiders: FRANKFURT
Frankfurt am Main, Germany
1. Welcome to Germany! Of all of the destinations I have personally travelled to, Deutschland ranks among my favorites. I love the contrast here of Old World culture in a country renowned for its cutting-edge advancements in the fields of science & engineering. In this photo, I stand alongside the Rhine River in Frankfurt. Toggle Audio
2. Words simply cannot describe the awesome natural beauty of looking down from the hillside upon the sparkling River Rhine. As you can see from the top-left photo, there are numerous walking paths that wind along the river. Be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes!

16. I capped this vacation with a visit to what turned out to be the highlight of my trip… … a trip to my first castle!
17. There are literally hundreds of castles dotting the German landscape, some of which are still occupied today. The Bergruining Koningstein is just one of several castles accessible to the public. As I went during the off-season, I not only got a great deal on my airfare, but I avoided the crowds of tourists. As you’ll see, I practically had the castle to myself!
