we fly into Frankfurt on Lufthansa and will be taking a train to Wurzburg. There are two train stations at the airport. Our train is an ICE train. After we clear Immigration and Customs I will look for the signs for the train station but which one? What will the name of the station be that I should look for?
Is it far from where we exit Imigration. If weed to get a bite to eat are there places to eat close by? We will have some time to get lunch but as the airport is quite large I want to get a sense of how much walking we will need to do.
Thanks!

If you are taking the ICE, you will need to go to the long distance train station (Fernbahnhof) There are directional signs for this station. This is about a 10 min. walk from the arrivals area and is underneath "The Squaire"). There are places to eat all over the airport, including near this train station.

Frankfurt is efficient, when you get off the plane, you go through passport control, pick up your luggage and walk out. There is seldom anyone checking bags at customs, though occasionally they do. The whole thing should only take 30-45 min. total.

Thanks! My next concern is what is happening at the main train station in Budapest as that is our last stop on our trip. We will be there on Sept 14 and am hoping things have settled down by then.

First check to see if your train is arriving at Keleti. Trains from Vienna may arrive at another Budapest station. If your train is arriving at Keleti, you probably have the option of getting off at Kelenföld Station before the train crosses the river to Keleti, check the intermediate stops. All the direct trains I checked had this Kelenföld option.

BillT

Thanks, and yes we are scheduled into Keleti so your suggestion is a very good option for us.

Is there a money exchange office at Kelenfold? We will need some local current for the cab ride to our Hotel, which is the Marriott by the Danube. We do not use ATMs.

BillT

Topping. Need to know if there is a money exchange office at the Kelenfold station.
Alternatively can we get Hungarian currency while we are in Vienna?

I don't really know but notice that in this link the prices are in euros.

I doubt tourists normally use this station very much.

Given what is happening at the main station, this station might get very busy now.
