Sunday Blues. You’ll want to do your souvenir shopping during the weekdays because most of the shops close on Sundays. It can create a pretty frustrating situation, especially if you waited on souvenirs until the end of your Frankfurt trip only to realize it’s Sunday.
Seat Yourself. The vast majority of Frankfurt’s casual dining establishments might look like there’d be a hostess to seat you. But, you’ll soon find that she’s never going to show up because you’re supposed to seat yourself.Don’t stand around unless you want all eyes on you.
Smiles Sold Separately. Don’t take offense if the shop or restaurant you visit doesn’t offer service with a smile. The waiter or clerk isn’t being rude.It’s just that an automatic smile isn’t considered central to professional service in Germany. Efficiency is.
Good to know
April through September is the best time to visit Frankfurt as the weather is mild and perfect for sightseeing.
