Frankfurt is located in the state of Hesse, roughly in the middle of Germany.

The city has one of the largest international airports in the world , Frankfurt FRA. It also serves as one of the largest railway hubs not only in Germany but in the whole of Europe.

Frequent bus connections are mainly provided by Flixbus, which mostly goes to cities in Germany and also to many places in France, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands or Switzerland.

By train

Frankfurt is one of Germany's main rail crossroads.

High-speed trains and regular long-distance trains such as InterCity or EuroCity run to all corners of Germany, but also to places like Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Zurich or Basel.

The only company operating long-distance trains to Frankfurt is DB German Railways.

They always cooperate with local carriers when travelling abroad. So in practice, for example, when you travel by train to Paris, you will take the same train, which you can find on the German DB Railways website and the French OUI GO.

It is always worth comparing ticket prices on the websites of both carriers. They may each have different prices and different special offers, even though in reality you will always take the same train.
