Dangers & annoyances

The area around the Hauptbahnhof is a base for Frankfurt’s trade in sex and illegal drugs, and has Druckräume, special rooms where needles are distributed and the drug depen-dent can shoot up. Women in particular might want to avoid Elbestrasse and Taunusstrasse, the main sex drags. Frequent police and private security patrols of the station and the surrounding Bahnhofsviertel keep things under control, but it’s always advisable to use big-city common sense.
