Frankfurt Hostels

Frankfurt is one of the busiest financial and travel hubs in Germany and draws visitors from all over the world, including enough backpackers to support several Frankfurt hostels.

Frankfurt is a large city and is divided into 46 boroughs. If you are looking for a hostel in Frankfurt, you should try to find a central location; there are a couple of boroughs that might suit you. The Altstadt (old city center) is the geographical heart of the city and impresses its visitors with lots of historic buildings and the famous shopping strip Zeil. Westend is a very wealthy and mostly residential area close to the center. Sachsenhausen is home to some of Frankfurt’s best museums (i.e. Städel) and you can find many traditional German restaurants that serve apple cider (Ebbelwoi), a local specialty. The Ostend might be a good choice to find a Frankfurt hostel if you would like to be in the middle of Frankfurt’s vibrant nightlife.

Flying into Frankfurt International Airport is an adventure itself since it is one of the largest and busiest airports in Europe – it is also one of the prettiest! To get to the city center, just take an express train. Getting to your Frankfurt hostel or getting around the city is not a problem, there is an extensive public transport system consisting of subway trains, trams and buses.

While you are there, wander through the old city center and admire the historic buildings including Frankfurt’s icon, the Römer. Visit one of the top-notch museums on the shore of the Main river, such as the Städel Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, or the Schirn Kunsthalle. Don't forget to enjoy some traditional apple cider after a long day in one of the cozy eateries in Sachsenhausen before you return to your Frankfurt hostel for the night.
