Arriving — Frankfurt

Most flights land at Frankfurt International Airport positioned just west of the city center with straightforward S-Bahn access to central stations. Hahn Airport sits much farther from Frankfurt in rural Bavaria, requiring longer transfers by bus or car for city access. Factor this distance into your ground transportation budget and allow extra time if landing at the more remote option.
