Whether for business or pleasure, there’s plenty for you to see and experience in this bustling city.

On top of this, there are historical sites like the Senckenberg Natural History Museum and the iconic Goethe House, which was the former home of German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

If you're exploring Frankfurt in the warmer months, you'll see the city's green and open parkland in all its glory. A must-see spot is Palmengarten, which boasts vast botanical gardens and is a great place to unwind.

However, if you're partial to sampling the local cuisine on your holidays abroad, you should head straight for Frankfurt's iconic Kleinmarkthalle. This covered market has been going for decades and now has over 150 independent stalls selling local cheeses and meats. One of the best dishes on offer is Fleischwurst, a tasty sausage in a roll topped with mustard or Frankfurt's renowned 'green sauce', made from sour cream, egg and seven herbs.

If the distance of your flight to Frankfurt is below 932 miles, your flight must be two hours late to receive compensation in the form of food and drink vouchers or accommodation.

However, you'll be touching down at one of two Frankfurt airports – Frankfurt (HRA) and Frankfurt-Hahn (HNN).

Arriving at Frankfurt Airport

Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is the sixth-busiest airport in Europe and has its own train station, which offers local services into Frankfurt city centre, as well as direct routes to nearby Mainz, Wiesbaden, Hanau and Aschaffenburg. The train station is situated on the ground floor, beneath Terminal 1.

If you’d prefer to take a public bus into Frankfurt's city centre, there are many connections available opposite Terminal 1 at the arrival level. Meanwhile, car rental opportunities are plentiful, with many leading car hire brands operating out of Frankfurt Airport. The airport is within easy reach of the Autobahn via A3, A67 and A5, all of which run directly here.

The facilities in Frankfurt Airport are solid, with plenty of amenities for arrivals. A healthy mix of cafes, bars and restaurants can be found in both terminal buildings. Bureau de Change and ATMs are also readily available for the exchange of euros.

Although Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (HNN) is well outside of Frankfurt city centre, it's within easy reach by car via the A66, A60 and A61. Bus services are another key transport option for arrivals, with public bus routes running directly to Frankfurt, as well as Koblenz and Mainz. The shuttle bus from Frankfurt city centre to Frankfurt-Hahn takes approximately two hours and ten minutes.

Buchbinder Rent-a-Car and Europcar are both situated within the terminal for those keen to hire a car for the weekend.

Within the terminal, there are several fast-food outlets as well as a café specialising in traditional baked goods, including Laugen pastries. Comparatively, this airport has a very small terminal when you consider Frankfurt Airport's stature, with only 12 gates. Nevertheless, you'll be able to make the most of free Wi-Fi.
