How to Take the Train to Frankfurt From the Airport

In this video I show you where the Regional Train Station is located at the Frankfurt Airport, how to buy a ticket to Frankfurt, where the platform is located for these trains, and the stops the S-bahn makes. Regional trains may make fewer stops and the main train station (Hauptbahnhof) will be their end destination.
The S-8 and S-9 will stop at Gateway Gardens, the Stadium, Niederrad, the Hauptbahnof, Taunusanlage, and in this video we end at the Hauptwache, though the trains will continue and also stop at the Konstablerwache and many more til they reach their final destination like Hanau or Offenbach. The ride usually takes about 15 min. and there is usually a train every 15 min.
On the opposite platform, (tracks 2 & 3) the S-8 & S-9 from Frankfurt will stop here on their way to Wiesbaden or Mainz, as well as regional trains going farther.

Thank you for this video! Really helpful for me as I will be visiting Frankfurt next month!

[@tipsforbuyingpdx]

This is incredibly helpful. I have a 6 hour layover in May and want to leave the airport for a few hours to see Frankfurt briefly. So, knowing what I'm doing and so I don't take too long and miss my connecting flight is critical. Hopefully I can figure out how to get back to the airport from Romberber! Ha!

[@frankfurtonfoottours2361]

Glad this was helpful. To return, just reverse what you did to get there. Frankfurt is pretty easy to find your way around and people are helpful.

[@jamesharrison2374]

Enjoyed the video, will need to find and watch the Gateway Garden one. Worked at V Corps in Frankfurt as a civilian with MWR, base closed in 94, worked till 98 with a German company before going to the US. Been back in 2016, and visited Munich in 2018. Will be in FTK in July 2024 and staying at a Hotel in Gateway Gardens.

Hope to see you on one of our daily walking tours!

[@jonsaxon8596]

Thanks! When I was in Frankfurt from 74 to 79 there were only four U-bahn lines numbered A1 through A4. One of them went to the airport but I can't remember which one. But the fare was not ₡5.80! Fares were at most a couple of DM. And I don't recall any of the station announcements in English. The last year there the S-bahn trains started running. I will say that the trains in Frankfurt are nicer than the trains in Russia! There used to be some of the garden plots near Platenstrasse and the map shows they are still there near the Europaturm. I wandered through that area once or twice.

[@frankfurtonfoottours2361]

Those gardens are still there. There a few 1000 of them in different areas of Frankfurt as well as in any other city in Germany. They are called Schreber Garten. They just started constructing the underground in the 1960s, but I don't know what the 1st ones were called.

[@claudecassar8087]

Thank you always :-)

Interesting that the first stop was "Gateway Gardens". A throwback to RMAB :)

[@frankfurtonfoottours2361]

I have a Gateway Gardens video. Have you seen it?

[@afrtsfan]

@@frankfurtonfoottours2361 Yes, I watched that right after this video. Thanks!

[@frankfurtonfoottours2361]

@@afrtsfan I wish there was more of Rhein Main AB left, but I don't think any buildings are left at all.

[@joelcordeiro2079]

Thanks for the great video! Can you get off some of the stops to explore that part and then get back on to continue going to the city? Also I am a disabled senior; are the cheaper fares?

[@frankfurtonfoottours2361]

There are no senior fares unless you live here. I do not know about disabled discounts. With a day ticket you can get on and off as much as you like. They are usually the best deal.

[@ringoffire6315]

I don’t know, I will ask too much. Most peoples here is mostly tourists and I think there are looking for prepaid SIM card. I wonder if you make vdo about how to buy prepaid sim card . I am sure that they will be a lot of peoples come to see your vdo. This is just recommendation, I think you must get a lot of viewer. For myself. I got roaming already. Thank you

[@user-eq9dj4uv5s]

hi thanks for the video, i have question here and hope that you can help me to clarify that. If i were to travel to Mainz Hbf, does it mean i have to choose for "Wiesbaden/Mainz" option at the RMV ticket machine which shown in your video?

[@frankfurtonfoottours2361]

you have to pick Mainz as your end destination. It is in a different state.

[@yuc563]

Great video! 2 questions: 1, where to vlidate the ticket, is it required? 2, is the day ticket that i should buy if i want to come back to the airport the same day? Thanks.

[@frankfurtonfoottours2361]

You do not have to validate tickets in Frankfurt. They are time stamped or you have a day ticket. Yes, get a day ticket instead of 2 single one-way tickets. Thanks for watching.

[@user-yn8wh2gc1k]

What is the senior citzen age for Travel in Trains from Frankfurt airport to downtown? And a day pass is valid from what time begging and end?

[@frankfurtonfoottours2361]

There are no senior citizen discount tickets. A day pass is valid from the time you buy until close of business that day. The trains stop running around 01:00 or so.

[@trave7644]

Thanks. So there is a direct train from the airport to the city right? And should I stay in the old city or at an airpot hotel if I have 25 hour layover at Frankfurt?

[@frankfurtonfoottours2361]

I would stay in the city. Cheaper & you can go sightseeing

Hi what’s the stop if i want to get off the old town of Frankfurt from the airport and vice versa ? thanks

[@frankfurtonfoottours2361]

Get off at the Hauptwache stop. This is the 6th stop.

[@cbwmama8461]

Jo -- Do the trains run 24 hours a day to and from the airport?

[@frankfurtonfoottours2361]

Yes, they do run all night to the airport, but you might have to go to the main station to get the train because the Hauptwache, Konstablerwache and Taunusanlage might have the entrances closed.

[@VickyPS-wf2or]

Hello. Great info. If you don't mind, I have some questions. The single day tickets are valid for trains and buses? I can use the day ticket for multiple destinations, have I understood this correctly?

[@frankfurtonfoottours2361]

Hi, the day tickets are valid on all forms of transportation as are the single tickets. This is includes S-bahns, U-bahns, Regional trains, buses and trams. Not the ICE or IC trains It depends on what kind of day ticket you have purchased. If you buy a day ticket at the airport, that includes going to Frankfurt, you cannot use it to go to Mainz, or Bad Homburg, etc. A Hessen ticket you can, as long as you stay in Hessen. Hope this helps.

[@MDV_13pm]

Hi, good day. Im going to Frankfurt next week. Can I still get a direct train to HBF main train station please

[@frankfurtonfoottours2361]

Yes, every train that stops at the platform at the Regional Train station, "direction city", will stop at the main train station - HBF or Hauptbahnhof.

Greetings from indonesian,how do i go to amsterdam using the train after arriving at frankfurt airport and i have been given a train boking code by the company where i work

[@frankfurtonfoottours2361]

Looks at your train ticket. Does it say the train leaves from the airport or from the Frankfurt main station? Look up trains on the Deutsche Bahn website.
