Frankfurt Airport to City Centre: what to expect
Frankfurt Airport is unusually close to town — 14 km, about 20 minutes on the A5 to the banking district. Most passengers here are travelling for work: Messe Frankfurt, the ECB, and the Bankenviertel towers are all inside a 25-minute drive.
The S-Bahn from the airport to Hauptbahnhof takes 11 minutes, which is genuinely fast, but the station is a walk from most hotels and Frankfurt Hbf's surroundings are not where you want to drag luggage at night.
Drivers meet arrivals at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 with a name board, and can drop at Westend, Sachsenhausen, the Messe halls or the Niederrad office parks on the same fare.
