Frankfurt Airport to Frankfurt

S-Bahn S8

Suburban S-Bahn line from Frankfurt Flughafen Regionalbahnhof (under Terminal 1) to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof in about 15 minutes; take direction Offenbach (Main) Ost and buy a valid RMV ticket before boarding. Services run roughly every 10–15 minutes throughout the day, with easy onward connections by U-Bahn, tram and bus at Hauptbahnhof.

S-Bahn S9

Suburban S-Bahn line from Frankfurt Flughafen Regionalbahnhof to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof in about 15 minutes; take direction Hanau Hauptbahnhof for city-bound trains. Trains usually depart every 10–15 minutes during the day and use the same ticketing and platforms as S8 at the regional station.

Regional Express (RE2/RE3/RE59 and other RMV regional trains)

RMV regional trains from Frankfurt Flughafen Regionalbahnhof provide fast links to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof in around 10–15 minutes; look for RE services toward Frankfurt that stop at Hauptbahnhof. These run less frequently than the S-Bahn (typically every 20–60 minutes depending on line and time of day) but can be slightly faster with fewer stops.

Bus 61 (Frankfurt Airport – Frankfurt Südbahnhof)

City bus line 61 runs from bus stops outside Terminal 1 (Arrivals) and Terminal 2 (Level 2) to Frankfurt Südbahnhof in about 25–30 minutes, serving areas such as Gateway Gardens on the way. Südbahnhof is a major interchange with S-Bahn, U-Bahn and trams for quick onward travel to the inner city and Hauptbahnhof; buses run roughly every 20–30 minutes from early morning until around midnight.

Official airport taxi

Metered taxis queue outside all terminals and provide direct service to central Frankfurt or Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, typically taking about 20 minutes depending on traffic. No fixed timetable; vehicles are available on demand around the clock and are useful for travelers with heavy luggage or late-night arrivals when public transport is less frequent.
