Frankfurt on a budgetShowHide
A day in Frankfurt costs £33.35 per person on the ground on a budget, before the flight, eating and drinking at the cheaper end of what places charge. At typical prices it is £39.56, and a day that does not watch the pennies runs to £55.18. The food and drink prices are real menu prices we read in Frankfurt on 22 Oct and 25 Oct, turned into pounds at the day's exchange rate, not guesses.
