However, cash is still widely accepted and sometimes preferred in smaller shops, markets, and rural areas. Carrying some cash is recommended for flexibility.
In Frankfurt am Main, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like train stations, public transport, and popular tourist spots. Common scams include distraction techniques where one person diverts attention while another steals belongings. It's also important to be wary of unofficial taxi drivers overcharging and to use licensed services. Staying alert in nightlife districts and avoiding poorly lit areas at night can help ensure safety.
