BuffJim Posted January 17, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 17, 2017 I'll be on a business trip in March in Belgium, Germany and UK. I have a free weekend. Working outside of Frankfort on Friday, and near Dusseldorf on Monday. Where should I spend the weekend? I need to take the train to Dusseldorf at some point on the weekend. I've been there a couple times, but never to Frankfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted January 17, 2017 Share #5 Posted January 17, 2017 Maybe you could rent an automobile and try to break the speed limit on the Autobahn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretaker Posted January 17, 2017 Share #6 Posted January 17, 2017 I've been to Berlin, cool place with lots of nightlife. You could try Bonn (former capital of W. Germany) or Cologne both pretty close to Dusseldorf.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be with an auditor who is a 30 year old guy that likes beer. Hopefully I can get LaBatt's beer or something just as good in Germany. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted January 17, 2017 Share #13 Posted January 17, 2017 I don't know Germany well enough to recommend anything but IMHO I'd rather spend my time checking out Frankfurt or Dusseldorf than spend the weekend travelling. Those are major cities and there has to be cool things to see, places to eat and of course pubs where you can find some Mickey's or Bud Light! I do know Germany is a freaking big country so you could spend hours on the train or car going to place to place. I have family in Holland and the highlight of my trips (of course seeing the family is cool) is the food and the beer. Soak in the local scene and have some fun!

I've been there a couple times, but never to Frankfort. I took the train to Koln and then caught a high speed train to Frankfurt. It's extra but worth it. Not to many trains travel a 100+ mph.

BuffJim Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share #15 Posted January 20, 2017 Düsseldorf has no hotel rooms. There's a huge convention the week Im there. Rooms in the city are over 400 Euros. So I'm spending the weekend in Koln. (Cologne). I think I can get a nice room for about 100 Euros. Then I have to take a train to our office near Düsseldorf airport Monday AM. I might have our auditor or our lawyer both from Connecticut tagging along, but just as soon be alone. The following Friday I have a free evening in London.
