I seriously enjoy watching Rick Steves traveling shows
Why does nobody like to speak about Frankfurt like that?!
My stepmother and I traveled from Egypt to Frankfurt and it was amazing, 23 years ago and I've been stuck in the United States of America ever since, I love the United States but money makes traveling hard!
When are you going to Ukraine? <br><br>Everybody talks about the Nazis ad nauseam .<br><br>Go to Ukraine and interview the Azov battalion, then go to Israel, so you can show everybody how perfectly safe they are over there. I think you can still travel there, even though they are at war again.😜
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dqRyrfA1Kw&t=1357">22:37</a> bleeding heart Rick hopes to never repeat the horrible things that happened during World War II.<br><br>He should travel to Gaza and do a travelogue there .
Europa:The Last Battle
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dqRyrfA1Kw&t=1141">19:01</a> Rick is so gullible and naïve. He always learns on the fly.
Speaking of banking, you should do an episode on the Rothschilds. Germany didn’t deserve what happened to it.
Germany was treated very badly! Read the book “The myth of German villainy”.
I’m sorry, Rick. How did you ever get your job? I don’t wanna be mean, but you have absolutely no ability in foreign languages at all.<br><br>Like you don’t even try .<br><br>I used to be in the travel industry and I have been all over the world . <br><br>I don’t understand. Do you have like a rich uncle or something at PBS? <br><br>Who has been paying for your free travel all these years ?

During WW2, the German chose not to destroy the beautiful and most significant monument of their enemy, while their own treasures are being targeted and destroyed systematically.<br><br>I don’t agree people destroy their enemies most significant monument and places with rich history. And history is repeating itself now with some countries intentionally destroying their enemies history, to wipe the history away.
Fascinating
Brilliant video, greatly narrated. Really enjoyed it!
My family is living over 150 years in Frankfurt. Thank you for your perspective, very good review
Not anymore
We in the US should ask Rick to be our next president.
We visited Nurnberg recently. A great site. Rick provides great recommendations.
Best Tour Guide.
I can enjoy your show anytime, even 8 years later❤
Nuh uh <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dqRyrfA1Kw&t=188">3:08</a> crazy bruhh
We were there a year ago (Dec 2024). My favorite was the toy museum. That place was incredible.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dqRyrfA1Kw&t=320">5:20</a> Ja… I would avoid Kaiserstraße and the whole Hauptbahnhof area if I was a tourist! 😅

Hitler’s promises were “Trumped Up”. Yuk yuk.
Mr. Steves and crew at Oregon public broadcasting, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dqRyrfA1Kw&t=144">2:24</a> no thanks.
This episode brought me back. In 2005 I took a trip to Germany (Cologne) after graduating college, but I spent a day in Frankfurt instead of just moving on. I really enjoyed it; I stayed in a hostel near the train station and met some awesome people. We took a walking tour of the city and enjoyed some type of local festival near the river. I recognize a lot of the skyline/sites. :) And we tried the Apfelwein!
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dqRyrfA1Kw&t=187">3:07</a> interesting how men of culture can be found worldwide
"Of course, Hitler's promises were 'Trumped up" and led not to glory but to war, the Holocaust and the devastation of Germany."
Messiah, pop star image of Hilter... mass hypnosis of the population. I think the United States has something like that going on right now.

I was stationed at Merrill barracks in nurenbug for three years in the late 80s. It really is a beautiful city and the food was always amazing.

I was in Frankfurt and Nuremberg in the year 2024. Neither city will ever see me again. It is incredibly overcrowded in Frankfurt. Too many people and very dirty and unfriendly. Nuremberg is and will probably always be a Nazi city and a Nazi stronghold. There it seems to materialize, once a Nazi always a Nazi. Sorry. But neither city works for me anymore. Moreover, in Nuremberg, there are still old towers from the Middle Ages, where witches or women were burned alive. Nuremberg is, for me, a city of death. And I am German, West German but I come from North Rhein Westphalia.
I am glad to make you SMILE! (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dqRyrfA1Kw&t=387">6:27</a>)
Wow, thanks. I went to high school in Frankfurt and have family in Nurnberg
The seated area where people sit and enjoy lunch under leafy trees<br>Is very similar to Rosebank in Johannesburg <br>At the cold meat section and sausage counter does not serve black pudding or blood pudding??????????<br>With caramelized onions and buns
Very beautiful
Germany is incredibly beautiful 🌹❤🍃
Am thinking of visiting both Frankfurt and Nurnberg this summer. This video was a great intro. Wish though that the Palace of Justice where the War trials were held. And in Frankfurt I had heard the Sachsenhausen area is not to be missed with its architecture, restaurants and nightlife. If I go I hope to see as much as possible. And Steve, did you visit the Museum district in Frankfurt - would love to see that as well.
The Nazi Documentation Center is shut down and a very lame temporary exhibit now exists. Very disappointing.
I taught school in Nurnberg.
Beautiful👌
nice places
I was stationed in Wurzburg (a beautiful city in it's own right), about halfway between both Frankfurt and Nuremburg. I love both of them equally. When I wanted to visit somewhere old and medieval, I went to Nuremburg. When I wanted the feel of an American style city, it was Frankfurt.
When we look and see how easily Fascism is spreading in this country we can well understand how it happened in Germany. All you need is a pliable, gullible citizenry who are eager to see things happen quickly and you have a fertile ground for the spread of Fascism.
I love Frankfurt. It is an easy town in which to move about and it has some fabulous museums along the opposite side of the Main River. From Frankfurt one is so close to so many other wonderful cites. Rick mentions Nuremberg and it is also very close to Cologne, Trier, the Mosel valley, the Middle Rhine, Strasbourg, Luxembourg and Munich. It is a great location in its own right, but it is also a wonderful location to start an exploration of some of the best of Europe.
Well Rick ! Look forward to a video on Cleveland.
Both cities are special to me. I have lived in Nürnberg for about 10 months and the city became meine zweite Heimat❤ and I'm living in Ffm now!
I lived in frankfurt 5years and finally get the best anyone
:0 <b>drools</b> her damit
It has becam my daily routine watchiching rick steve
Great video
Love to see Germany soon😍😍✌
❤️👍
Greetings from Nürnberg ❤
Hitler building large buildings is megalomania. But Americans building the same in their country is what?
Ach nein! Ich glaube es nicht!
What's neoclassicism?
"Gut" in German mean "good." So there.
Germany is Stalin mistake
I wish the United States would teach people of the horrors of Fascism, but that would be difficult when roughly 70 million of our residents are ready to dump democracy and embrace Fascism.
Hi Rick! You have inspired me to travel every country in europe. Thank you for all your videos! Very helpful!
Absolutely superb video. Subscribed 😊
Thanks Rick for this wonderful journey
I love my boy Rick Steves, his videos are awesome, his books are awesome. I have to bring up one thing that he mentions that bothers me in this and some other videos. Round towers were not meant to defend against artillery. They were round so there would be no blind spot or hard edge to use when an enemy was undermining a castle. The huge English Castles built in Wales in the 1280s-1290s all had round towers because of this, and they were built well before artillery came into widespread use in Britain.

As a german, frankfurt is always the best city ever
Things were “trumped up” by the Nazis”… that line from the 2017 script was more than prophetic. A certain Queens Nazi is working on the project as we speak.
😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
World has changed their attitude due to education no hatred for eu.
I spent a lot of tome in the Frankfurt train station. Crepes in the morning and mushrooms cooked in a huge skillet in the evening. Delicious. I would walk to the marketplatz every morning in Hanau then take a bus to the bahnhof then a train to Frankfurt Ost then the subway then a bus and then walk to 97th every morning in about 25 minutes. Amazing.
Born in Munich and raised in Hanau. I worked at 97th in Frankfurt. 72 to 96 were the best years of my life. Spent a lot of time in Frankfurt. Fleamarkets along the river, Sachsenhausen and the Roman fort outside of Frankfurt.
Very nice ❤❤❤❤

I want to go to Germany, def planning my next vacation
what an well eduated man..wow
One of my 2 favorite cities here in Germany.
the fact that germany has bounced back so much from an unfortunate past is a testament to the beautiful culture and commitment to infrastructure. can't wait to visit
What a perceptive, succinct, accurate and profound summary of history and culture! Rick is a great writer and historian, and perhaps humanitarian.
people are as warm as the weather in that country
The blonde girl with the bike at the start is in nurnberg too😄
So sobering. We came so close in 2020. And we're still very much in the danger zone. 🙁
Good evening sar
Tuyệt vời bạn ơi ❤
God is dead, said Nietzsche. It did happen in 1933 when Hitler came to power.
Frankfurt, i have been there several times and have to say between drug addicts, homeless people, pimps and prostitutes, the odd arabic fast food dealer whitch most likely deal more then that too from what i saw, it is a hellhole to be with the permanent aroma of urine and excrements. No one will get me back there again and i do not get what is to like about it, everything possibly wrong with a city is wrong there and my last memory was seeing a druggy shooting up while my train left the railwaystation ( funny fact the macdonalds in the station has no toilet or rest room so imagine about the hygienic standarts of the whole thing but be assured it looks better then the burger king...)
Wer are you from country of urupe?
The historic architecture is gorgeous. I imagine it was even more stunning before the war. Thanks for the great tour. John
Interesting graffiti in the park at the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dqRyrfA1Kw&t=185">3:05</a> mark.
Oh, and Steve, the Earth is not a globe. There is no proof of a globe.
Of course without war would've been best/ideal but Germany and Japan have rebuild and done well after. Less check & balance Centralising to 1 man nuclear/bio.. power big nations still more a threat to the world.
Well made and informative video!<br>I lived 5 years in Nuremberg (Nürnberg). The city has much more to offer, rather than WWII stuff. One should not leave that area without visiting the old and still active beer cellars, eating Schäufele (and go into food coma for the next two days 😉), visiting Frankonian Switzerland, having some fun in many Biergartens, beautiful Herzogenaurach (home to Adidas and Puma with their interesting story), just to mention a few. <br>I recorded a lot of videos there but unfortunately my hard disk broke and all my videos are now lost. I will for sure go there some day and make some videos.
The background music makes it impossible for people with hearing impairment to watch.
