Two cities with lots to offer, but very different in character are Berlin and Frankfurt. Berlin is one of the most vibrant cities in Europe and Frankfurt is one of the most underrated. We highly recommend visiting both.

Is Frankfurt worth visiting? If Frankfurt is not yet on your radar it should be! Frankfurt is home to the most impressive skyline in Germany as well as world-renowned museums, galleries, historical cathedrals along with stunning views. It is a food lovers dream and there is such an incredible vibe in the city.
I would definitely recommend Munich over Frankfurt for the first timer. Munich is much more touristy (it will more like what you expect to Germany to be) whereas Frankfurt as a city is more of a business/finance hub with not a great deal to offer for the tourist.
While Berlin is relatively safe, there are a few areas that are best to avoid, particularly during late hours. These areas include: Kottbusser Tor area in Kreuzberg. Alexanderplatz, especially the adjacent park.
In conclusion, Berlin is indeed a remarkably walkable city. Its well-connected public transportation system, impressive infrastructure, and numerous points of interest within walking distance make it an ideal destination for exploring on foot.
Con: housing and a high cost of livingThe Hessian metropolis suffers a demand for affordable housing that far surpasses the available supply. The consequence? Housing prices are going nowhere but up (+17,1% between 2011 and 2016) and Frankfurt is now the second most expensive German city to rent an apartment in.
