any suggestios for daytrips from frankfurt by train. one hr or less?
There are multiple REs going from Frankfurt to Bacharach, on the middle Rhein, in about an hour (airport to Bacharach - 56 min, Hbf to Bacharach - 1h12min).
I would highly recommend hopping on a boat and heading up the Rhine or Mosel - so many castles - so many awesome towns. Our favorite was Bacharach - its a MUST do! I would almost consider going back if we weren't trying so hard not to go to the same place twice. We did the Rhine on one day and the Mosel on another - but we stayed in Mainz, not Frankfurt.
If you like wine, be sure to try the Mosel Reisling - it is outstanding.
