It is a pretty useless place. All bikes are crappy step throughs that are ridden on the pavement. There is no decent beer in the whole town. The closest you will get is Guinness in the Irish bar. They drink the aforementioned apfelwien which is foul.
They don't let you in clubs if you don't speak German or look local. But the local girls are easy to pick up and can get you in. Lots of kebab shops. The town is full of insurance companies. The river is big and nice in summer. Shopping bit is ok.
The old cobbled bar area is actually quite nice to spend an evening in. The trains are good but have the most complex ticketing system imaginable. Cab drivers will try and rip you off, but drive really fast from the airport.
