Destination & City Travel Guide

About Frankfurt

Frankfurt can be seen in a compact central circuit despite its role as a major air hub. Römerberg anchors the old town, the Museum Embankment runs along the Main, and the Städel Museum merits time indoors. Palmengarten is a separate green stop. Frankfurt Airport has both local and long-distance rail stations, so travellers from India can reach the central station quickly or continue directly to another German city without entering the centre first.

Read more about Frankfurt

What's new in Frankfurt

  • April 2026: Frankfurt Airport Terminal 3 began operations, receiving airlines transferred from Terminal 2 and changing the departure building for those passengers.
  • April 2026: The new Sky Line connection accompanied Terminal 3’s launch, linking it with the northern terminals and the airport railway stations.

Tips for travellers from India

A stay near Hauptbahnhof is useful for onward rail travel, while the old town suits a short visit centred on Römerberg and the river. The airport has separate regional and long-distance railway stations: local S-Bahn trains into Frankfurt and intercity trains do not necessarily use the same platforms. Read the service type before following a railway sign, particularly when connecting directly to another German city.

Terminal 3 is on the airport’s southern side. The new Sky Line takes about eight minutes between Terminals 1 and 3, so a rail arrival still needs a terminal transfer for a flight departing there. In town, link Römerberg with a crossing of the Main and the Museum Embankment. The Städel is a substantial collection visit, while Palmengarten is a separate botanical-garden outing away from that river circuit. A short connection is better spent in one central cluster than split between the river museums and Palmengarten. Use the actual flight terminal for the return, since older Terminal 2 directions may be obsolete.

Best time to visit Frankfurt

May to September, roughly 12–25°C, for river walks and gardens.
