Frankfurt’s Skyline...

The following day Melissa dropped us off at the station so we could catch a train to Frankfurt. We didn’t have any specific plans; we’d just never been there and wanted to wander around.

After an amazing lunch at Vevay, a vegan café, we walked across a bridge and along the river towards the historic center.

Along the way we noticed a lot of cranes, which made good perches for birds.

After being severely bombed during World War II, Frankfurt was rebuilt and is now home to 14 out of 15 of Germany’s skyscrapers.

It is one of the world’s most important financial centers, including being home to the European Central Bank which sets monetary policy for the Eurozone.
