Frankfurt Airport to Frankfurt city and region

Frankfurt Airport (FRA) lies 12 km south-west of central Frankfurt. The drive takes only 10–15 minutes, and the airport has its own regional and long-distance train stations.

Frankfurt Airport to Frankfurt taxi prices

A metered taxi to the centre costs about €35–45. Pre-booked transfers are often cheaper: one firm lists the city centre from about €25 for up to 4 people, or about €35 for up to 8. Extras such as a meet and greet in the arrivals hall or a child seat usually cost more, so ask when you book. Do not confuse FRA with Frankfurt-Hahn, a separate airport about 120 km away.
