Frankfurt, nothing new but always nice

Frankfurt, July 2025

From a tourist's point of view, Frankfurt is not the most appealing city to explore. I did a very similar stroll to this one in 2010 and back then I took much more detailed photos than those I'm showing today. I'll share those 2010 photos later, I promise!

I've also been to Frankfurt September. That layover we just went to the Römerberg to have lunch ending the day at Orange Beach, a beer garden, to watch the sunset by the river.

But let's finally dive into what I saw on this July's layover! The weather was cloudy, muggy but hot! Tt didn't rain although you could bet it would at any time.

My Zeil

This shopping mall always get my attention because of the glass "tornado" that continues towards of the inside of the mall.

Römerberg

This square in the old town (Altstadt) is iconic and probably the most visited spot in Frankfurt.

Domturm

Many years ago I visited the associated museum Dommuseum and I remember seeing a photo of the Dome still standing (although severely damaged) after the WWII bombardments.

River Main

I ended my visit walking alongside the river Main.

Tenerife Sur Reina Sofia Airport & Frankfurt Int'l

Tenerife & Frankfurt, January 2025

First time I landed in one of the Canary Islands was in 2008 when I was still flying the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar for a charter airline. It was a Charles de Gaulle - Fuerteventura flight for XL Airways France.

In 2019, I went to visit Gran Canaria (Las Palmas).

And recently, I had a turnaround flight to Tenerife South for the first time! Many interesting aircraft there, including this A321 with Condor's striking livery, and the A320neo of Brussels Airlines with the special Tomorrowland livery.
