Arriving — Frankfurt
Plan your ground transport before you land since Frankfurt has two airports with very different access distances. Frankfurt International sits close to the city centre with direct train links into the station area. Hahn Airport lies much farther away requiring longer transfers by bus or car, so factor in extra travel time if your ticket arrives there.
