Getting Around, Frankfurt Travel, Transport and Car Rental
(Frankfurt am Main, Hesse, Germany)
Frankfurt is a highly accessible city with a variety of transportation available for those travelling either from foreign countries or from other cities within Germany.
The Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is the chief travel gateway to the city and the means by which the majority of long distance visitors arrive.
Within Frankfurt itself you will be able to use public bus transport, trains and taxis to travel around both the city and the surrounding areas.

Frankfurt Hahn Airport (HHN) / Arriving by Air
Address: Flugplatzstrasse, Gebaude 667, Lautzenhausen, D-55483, Frankfurt, Germany
Tel: +49 65 4350 9200
Frankfurt Hahn Airport resides close to the border with Luxembourg, being roughly one hour and 30 minutes to two hours west of Frankfurt itself. The facility is located part-way between Kirchberg and Morbach, where it is well connected by road. Those flying here will be able to catch frequent buses into the city, which operate on an hourly basis, while taxis are also to hand. However, although taxis may well be convenient, the lengthy journey is certainly not what you could call cheap, that is unless you are able to share the cost with other travellers.
