Central in Germany,
key traffic and transport hub in Europe
Around 460,000 travellers pass through Frankfurt's main train station every day. It is in fact one of the busiest long-distance railway stations in all of Germany. From here, there are connections to all German conurbations as well as numerous European metropolises such as Paris, Vienna, Brussels, Basel and Amsterdam.
If you want to avoid the stress of traffic jams or the tedious search for a parking space, or if your feet are aching after a long day of sightseeing, we recommend you take advantage of the city's excellent public transport system or cycle.
Thanks to its central location and good connections to the motorway network, Frankfurt is easy to reach from all directions. The city's rise as a trade fair city and financial and commercial center was linked to its convenient location, as several European trade routes crossed here.
Long-distance bus stops:
Frankfurt Central Station (Mannheimer Straße)
Frankfurt Airport, Terminal 2
Tickets for long-distance buses are available from Flixbus, among others.
Frankfurt Airport is Germany's largest passenger airport and one of the largest in Europe. From here, you can reach around 300 destinations in almost 100 countries.
But it's also only a short distance from the airport to the city center: you can get there in just a few minutes by taxi or S-Bahn.
Frankfurt-Hahn Airport is located about 120 kilometers from Frankfurt. It developed from an American military airfield into an international commercial airport and is now the tenth largest German passenger airport.
