It’s easy to reach the city centre from Frankfurt Airport. The Regionalbahnhof, which is the train station for local journeys, is at Terminal 1. From here, the journey to Frankfurt Central Station takes around 15 minutes. You can also hop on high-speed trains to major cities across Germany.

There are plenty of taxis waiting at the terminals too. You’ll reach the city in 20 to 30 minutes.

Frankfurt is a great choice for a German city break at any time of year. Come during the summer when locals and visitors flock to the banks of the River Main for picnics, drinks and scenic views. In winter, you can escape the cold in the city’s traditional cider taverns and shop for local handicrafts at the traditional Christmas markets. Frankfurt’s Christmas market, which is one of the largest in Germany, takes over Romerberg and St Paul’s Square with its picture-perfect stalls that open from morning till night.

If you hold a passport from a country or territory outside of these areas, you may need to apply for a visa before you travel. You can find out more about visa requirements for all the countries we fly to at the IATA Travel Centre.
