Transportation

Germany has one of the best railway networks in Europe that makes travel between German cities easy and efficient. As you would expect, Frankfurt’s public transport network is efficient and well integrated. It consists of the U-Bahn and S-Bahn trains, and buses. Tickets may be purchased from vending machines or ticket offices. Visitors could invest in the Frankfurt Card, available for one or two days, which incorporates all travel as well as reduced entry into some key attractions. Frankfurt has two main tourist offices where you can get more information. One in the Hauptbahnhof and another in the heart of the city at Romerberg.

Frankfurt is served by one of Europe's major airports, Frankfurt Airport (FRA). It is one of the busiest airports in the world and is a major entry point into Germany from abroad. There are regular rail departures from the airport, which makes most of Germany's cities easily accessible. Trains leave approximately once every ten minutes for Frankfurt's Hauptbahnhof from where there are even more comprehensive services covering other parts of Germany.

The airport is also linked to the Hauptbahnhof by two S-Bahn lines, run by the regional transport company, which is also responsible for bus, tram and U-Bahn services. From the Hauptbahnhof you can take a tram, which goes right through the heart of the historic city center, which would be a fifteen minutes walk.

There are excellent bus, train and tram services as well as taxi and car hire services to get around the city. It is possible to explore Frankfurt on foot but driving in the city center is not as difficult in other major cities.
