10 days in Frankfurt, Brussels & Amsterdam Itinerary

A global center of finance and transportation, Frankfurt is perhaps best known for its futuristic cityscape.

There's much more to do: make a trip to Romer, ponder the design of Fountain of Justice, explore the world behind art at Stadel Museum, and contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Old Nicholas Church (Alte Nikolaikirche).
