I’ve been to Frankfurt in real life. It’s not what you would call a thrill-a-minute. So when I encountered a series of regions dedicated to the city I didn’t expect much, and my expectations were met with flying (drooping?) colors.
It’s a kind of dull, touristy place with some shopping, some clubs, and lots of glass buildings. A set of footprints will guide you to virtual versions of real tourist attractions (marked with a red X). For example, there’s the Hammering Man and a giant Euro. Well, I don’t think the giant Euro is a tourist attraction, it’s just a giant Euro.
The footprints start out at what looks like a newbie rezzing area. So don’t start there. The SLURL I’ve provided you starts out at one of the more true-to-life spots: A cheesy gift shop, complete with overpriced snow globes and lederhosen. It almost made me feel like I was in Frankfurt again.
