Yes, this is a very easy route. Head to the long-distance station in the airport. Many high speed options per day. Most journeys take under an hour.

There are 2 direct trains every hour taking 55 to 70 minutes. There also direct trains at 58 past the odd hours that take over 2 hours but travel the scenic route along the Rhine River.

Yes there’s a direct line and it’s super easy! Just use the DB app to find and book!

When using the DB Navigator app, the Frankfurt airport will be called Frankfurt Flughafen or Flughafen Fernbf. This is the station right in the airport.

Frankfurt Hbf is the main station in the city center, about 20 minutes away.
