Your journey to Frankfurt, Germany
Frankfurt am Main is located in the centre of Europe and is very easy to reach. Access by Plane
Frankfurt Airport is the fifth-largest city airport of Germany and a major international airport. It features two passenger terminals with capacity for around 65 million passengers per year and four runways. It is located in the southwest of central Frankfurt and serves as major traffic node with a strong rail and motorway connection.
From Frankfurt Airport, it is a 15-minute journey by car or taxi to the exhibition grounds, arriving at the City Entrance/Festhalle (“Eingang City/Festhalle”), Galleria Entrance (“Eingang Galleria”) or Portalhaus Entrance (“Eingang Portalhaus”) or at the Congress Center and Kap Europa.
From the airport, you can take the S-Bahn suburban train lines S8 or S9 (in the direction of Hanau or Offenbach Ost) to Frankfurt Central Station ("Hauptbahnhof"). Suburban train lines S3, S4, S5 and S6 will then take you directly to the trade fair grounds (station: “Frankfurt (Main) Messe”).
