Getting Around Frankfurt

Airport Transportation

Fares to downtown Frankfurt: Taxi $30; Train $5; Bus; $4. From Rhein-Main Airport the fastest and most economical way to travel to Frankfurt is by the S-Bahn train (Lines S-14 and S-15). The trip to the city takes less than 15 minutes.

U-Bahn, (Subway), Bus & Streetcar

Frankfurt has a similar U-Bahn and S-Bahn subway system to the one in Munich, with the U-Bahn covering Frankfurt's urban area and the S-Bahn extending into the outer boroughs. Tickets ($1.50) are sold at the blue vending machines located throughout the city. We suggest the 24-hour ticket for $6. The city buses (Stadtbus) and streetcars (Strassenbahn) are inexpensive and a reliable way to get around. Your subway tickets are valid on all forms of public transport.

Taxi

In a word: expensive. Taxis can be found at the city's various taxi stands or by phoning in advance.....ask your hotel concierge local companies. Stick to the excellent public transport system!
