As per my previous op, we were off to Frankfurt for holiday. We reached Stansted airport and checked in. Whilst the checking, my wife decided to take my son and her sister to shop around. Unexpectedly, the lady behind the desk demanded to see everyone who was travelling. So I asked my brother to get my wife and the rest. Then she demanded to see according to the passport she was holding. When it came to my son I just carried him up and showed him to her and she just laughed. Everything was cool. I guess all this fuss was due to what happened in Newyork. We were given the gate number. So we decided to head off towards ... Read the complete review

So, this is my first ever opinion on Dooyoo.uk - I hope you'll forgive me any mistakes, my English is just a tad rusty... Seeing as I live in Frankfurt an was born close by, I thinks it's only fair that I write something nice about it ;-) When you arrive at Frankfurt, you'll most probably hit the Main Train Station at one point or another.

Frankfurt has about 650.000 inhabitants and is the fifth biggest city of Germany. You probably arrive at the airport which is the second largest –behind Heathrow- of Europe. Many people say that the city of Frankfurt is somewhere in the suburbs of the airport. Enough said? Maybe, nevertheless I will continue. From the airport, trains (S8 and S9, direction Offenbach or Hanau) take you in about 15 minutes to the city of Frankfurt. Get out at Hauptwache and you are in the very city centre. Around this kind of square (completely messed up in the Sixties) you find any kind of stores. Next to the huge Kaufhof-store Les Facettes is situated, an interesting mall ... Read the complete review
