There are a lot of places that I like to take my camera to, but one of my favorites has to be the Palmengarten (botanical garden) in Frankfurt. It's in the middle of the city and yet you feel like you are eons away. They have an incredible collection of flowers and plants that make it worth a visit and offers great photo opportunities too. Plus, it is a great place to take the whole family!

Frankfurt is just the fifth-largest city in Germany, but Frankfurt has the biggest and nicest skyline in Germany and maybe Europe. The towers of the important banks dominate the sky. People are always thinking that Frankfurt is such a large city, but that's not really true. "Only" 670,000 live there. Anyway, if you're walking between the skyscrapers, you'll get the feeling of being in New York or Tokyo. But the traffic is more quietly.
