Frankfurt and Berlin, two very different places in this amazing land of Germany.

The city of Frankfurt is compact, inviting and very comparative to a cross between Phoenix and Beverly Hills.  Frankfurt has this feeling of being planned and well organized.  Frankfurt is super clean, and has very little street art/tags and where it does, it has the look of being cleaned up and covered up very quickly. 

In contrast, Berlin is spread out, incredibly artsy and definitely gritty.  Berlin has so many different eras of architecture that it feels miss-matched.  Berlin has so much street art that it feels super inviting for creative types.  It also seems a little revolutionary, which makes sense, considering it’s long and complicated past.

While these cities are completely opposite, they do have some similarities.  Both are surrounded by lush, green forests, and both cities have amazingly dressed people each in their own style.

If you can come to Germany, I would definitely recommend coming to both of these cities to get to know two different types of culture.
