On our flight from Vancouver to Jordan, we had a 6-hour layover in Frankfurt Germany. With enough time to explore the city for a few hours, we left the airport and took the train to Frankfurt am Main Römer Platz.
Römer Platz is a Fußgängerzone, a pedestrian only area with the charm of a stereotypical German town. The façades of the buildings help add to the atmosphere.
We wandered to the Eiserner Steg, a bridge covered in locks. Couples in love place a lock on the bridge and toss the key into the Main River. There were hundreds of notes scribbled onto the bridge, and even one marriage proposal. I hope she said yes!
There wasn’t much time for churches, but the exteriors were quite lovely.
How do you stay entertained during an airport layover?
