I woke up and checked out of my hostel but was able to leave my hiking backpack here until I head out for the airport. I grabbed one of the local maps the hostel was giving out and went on a self-guided, semi-successful walking tour of downtown Frankfurt. It's a really easy city to get around and I was lucky to go out in a cloudy but really pleasant day.
I walked down the strausse (the Kaiserstrausse) right into the center of the banking district and the head of the Financial EU.
From there I headed over to see some beautiful plazas and older German architecture around St. Paul's Church, City Hall and the Frankfurt Cathedral.
Then I walked to the bank of the Schone river and walked along the river for a bit.
I ended the walk at my new favorite store (Sorry Sweaty Betty).
I'm off to the Frankfurt Airport in a few hours and then to Dublin.

The name of the river is the Main River, not Schone.
