Stations and airports in Frankfurt

Overview
Frankfurt has three major train stations – the main station (Hauptbahnhof), the south station (Südbahnhof) and the airport (Flughafen Fernbahnhof). The Main is the most important for international travellers – in fact, it’s the most important rail transport hub in Germany and also serves as a major hub for all Rhine-Main S-Bahn (overland lines), two U-Bahn (underground lines), plus several tram and bus lines.

Frankfurt’s main airport is the second-busiest in Europe (after Heathrow). A second smaller airport, some distance from the city, is used by budget airlines.
