Geography

Frankfurt is found in the German federal state of Hesse, which is in the southwest portion of the country. The city itself is situated on the Main River’s both sides. With 5.6 million residents, it is the main area of the Frankfurt Rhine-Main Metropolitan region, which is densely populated. The city comprises 46 city districts with 118 city boroughs.

How to Reach (Transport)

Frankfurt’s location in the middle of Germany and Europe has played a significant role in its status as an important traffic hub. The city is Germany’s transportation center.

  1. By Plane – The Frankfurt Airport is the busiest airport in the country, the 3rd in the whole of Europe, and the 9th in the entire world. It has the capacity to handle over 350,000 passengers every day, or over 50 million people a year. All major international airlines fly frequently to and from Frankfurt, with destinations to all the continents in the world and to every major city.
  2. By Train – There are 3 major railway stations in Frankfurt: the South Station, the Airport Station, and the Main Station, otherwise known as Hauptbahnhof. The latter is among the biggest and busiest in Europe, with over 300 daily trains to domestic and international destinations around Europe.
  3. By Bus – Several trans-European bus lines operate to and from the city. Within the city, night buses operate from 1:30 am to 3:30 am, taking over the services of the S-Brahn and U-Brahn.
  4. By Tram – The U-Brahn is the best way to get around the city. It has 9 lines that operate within the city, and for suburban areas, the S-Brahn also has 9 lines.
  5. By Taxi – Taxis are abundant in the city but can be quite expensive. They are also notorious for driving very fast as this is what German businessmen expect them to do. They can also take advantage of passengers who are not familiar with destinations, as they often take detours if they notice a passenger doesn’t know the place.
  6. By Bike – The city is bike-friendly, with its large expansive network of bike lanes and plenty of bike rentals found around the city center.

Accommodation

Frankfurt has a lot of places to stay but when world-famous fairs occur, getting accommodation is very difficult. You must book in advance but also expect prices to skyrocket during these times. Alternative options would be to get a place to stay in nearby cities such as Mainz or Darmstadt, which are only 1 hour away.
