Traveling to Frankfurt couldn't be simpler, as the old adage of “all autobahns go to Frankfurt” holds more than a grain of truth. Most major roads do converge in the city, making it one of the biggest destinations for coach travelers from all over Europe.
A number of cheap airlines serve Frankfurt's airport and the S-bahn’s S8/S9 train runs between the airport and Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof every fifteen minutes. The main railway station also receives 90 long-distance trains every day.
Once in the city, transport is quick and convenient with a well-planned selection of trains and trams ferrying visitors around. Like Berlin, Frankfurt has an excellent public transportation system comprised of S- and U-bahn trains, buses and trams. A Tageskarte (24-hour pass) is valid on all these services.
Travelers are warned against trying to use public transport without a ticket; inspectors frequently travel on the trams and will impose fines for anyone caught without a valid pass, even if they are a visitor in the city.
At the various tourist offices throughout the city, including Romer and the German National Tourist Office, you can buy one or two day ‘Frankfurt cards’. These are reasonably priced and give unlimited travel on public transport as well as 50% reductions on admission to museums and the zoo.
