If you're into English theatre then go to the 'Selbige' close to the station on the Kaiserstrasse. Disco, Parties and Nightlife Frankfurt has something to offer for every taste. Does your ideal nightspot have to feature rock and prove decidedly deafening? No problem ' go to MTW in Offenbach, to the Goldene Krone in Darmstadt or the Batschknapp in Frankfurt. Concerts by well-publicised groups such as 'Die Ärtze? often take place in the Batschknapp. Quite often these groups will appear under a pseudonym which means that the tickets are more affordable. Only the true fans and those in the know will be lucky enought to discover these events. If you're into trendy music, then you'll be better off in Opium or in Living. Hard core techno enthusiasts shouldn't miss U60311 (pronounced U sixty-three hundred eleven)! A great hit with with foreigners in Frankfurt, the nightlife on the Konstablerwache is a well-known hotspot.

Should you find yourself on a flight passing through Frankfurt or booked on an early morning flight, then Frankfurt has a somewhat different surprise for you. The Dorian Gray. This is a well known and popular discotheque in the middle of the Frankfurt Rhein-Main Airports Terminal One.

The gay community has a consistently large choice on a Saturday evening ' the popular LOFT-House, which attracts a very well-groomed crowd is but one of many possibilities. Yet there are also places further away to visit, such as the MS-Connexion in Mannheim (stretches out over several floors and offers something to suit everyone). It is particularly worth recommending because of its themed evening 'Gaywerk?. If you like a quiet place, then there is always the possibility of visiting one of the many pubs and bars in which you can have a good time, sip some cocktails and dance to some good music. Sachsenhausen is a particularly good starting point for a night out. As is the StereoBar, decorated in sixties style, with an attractive fish aquarium to stare at incase you can't locate somebody interesting enough with which to converse. The numerous Irish pubs around, as well as the cider pubs of course, offer ample worthy entertainment. Sport Every half-decent footballer has heard of the Frankfurt Waldstadion, where the Frankfurter Eintracht team play nerve-wracking games against their opponents time and time again. The Frankfurter Lyons and the Ice Hockey team are further attractions.
