Frankfurt European transportation hub for foreigners in Germany

Frankfurt is an important trading center in Germany. Several thousand people pass through the city every day. Many only spend a few days in the city, others only use the airport and in turn drive directly to the city to spend their vacation or business trip there. There is always a lot going on in the main metropolis.

The airport as a transport hub

Frankfurt am Main airport is the largest and most important in Germany. Last year, 70.5 million passengers used the airport. The majority of travelers are non-residents who used the airport to travel on to other destinations. The airport is around 12 km from the city and is easy to reach by bus, S-Train and train. The Fernbahnhof train station is right next to the terminal, so that even non-residents can quickly and easily find their way to the center of Frankfurt. Due to the large distance between the terminal buildings and the parking garage, a MiniMetro and the SkyLine passenger transport system were also installed, which quickly bring travelers from A to B. The airport consists of two terminals. To make it easy for strangers to find their way around the airport, the airport operator has developed an app that enables navigation through the airport building. There is a lot going on at the airport every day, as up to 1000 take-offs and landings take place every day.

The main train station

Many strangers reach the city via the airport. However, some of them then use the train station for onward travel or arrive by train. The main train station is an important transport hub. It not only creates connections to many major cities in Germany, but also connects to neighboring European countries. Trains from different destinations arrive every minute in the terminal station. The Deutsche Bahn express trains run on 25 long-distance tracks in the upper level. In the basement there are 4 S-Train tracks through which the different parts of the city and the airport can be reached. In addition, buses and trams run in front of the station building to take travelers to different destinations.

The stay in Frankfurt

Because of its importance as a banking location in Germany, the city is always visited by strangers. Business trips often take place in the city center due to meetings or other gatherings. Guests are accommodated well and comfortably in the many large superior hotels. In the business districts of the city there is always the possibility for lunch at lunchtime or a relaxed dinner in the evening. Alternatively, you can also visit the hotels near the airport. These are always well attended, as the transfer between the city center airport takes less than half an hour. In addition, a quick onward journey is possible.

Shipping on the Main

In addition to the airport and the train station, the Main metropolis also offers trips across the Main. The city is the destination or the starting point for round trips on the water. The trips also lead over the Loreley, over the Rhine and to the border triangle. Trips to various cities in Germany and abroad are also possible. There are many different routes. The trips last between 5 and 14 days. Foreigners often use the river cruises to discover Germany and get to know the region around the Main. At the same time, goals can be achieved beyond the German borders. The boat trips are also booked as a day trip to explore the area around the city.

The city on the Main has developed into an important traffic center in the last century. Especially by plane, many pass through the Main metropolis.
