we'll have 6 hours layover at FRA ... . i know that isnt much.. but its a long time to hang around an airport after a looong flight. is there anything to do at the airport.. or anything near the airport we could head to for fun? thanks!
If you arrive on time, you could easily have three hours plus, to go downtown Frankfurt for lunch. Well worth it! As a matter of fact, if I have to have connecting flights with a few hours layover, I try to do it through Frankfurt because it is so easy to get downtown. Consider it a bonus.
Frankfurt airport to Frankfurt main station is 11 min. on the S-bahn. If you go 2 stops more to the Hauptwache, it is 15 min. The Römer is a 5 min. walk from the Hauptwache. You can catch your train back to the airport from the Hauptwache too.
Buy a Frankfurt City card at the airport info stand for 18 euro. It covers up to 5 people into Frankfurt and back to the airport, your transport in the city itself and 50 % off of museum admissions. A regular group card just for transport all day is 14.30 €. Plus, then you don't have to mess around with the ticket machines.

oh thank you so much! that will make my layover so much nicer. i have been through Frankfurt a few times, but never left the airport. I'm glad we'll have time to this time. i really appreciate this detailed info!
