Most of Hesse's population in concentrated in Frankfurt, neighbouring large cities, and suburbs in between.

The region does not have a formal structure - in fact, it straddles the official boundaries and a number of definitions have been adopted for descriptive, statistical, planning and coordination purposes. In its broadest definition and the Rhine-Main metropolis is understood to reach beyond Hesse to include Mainz in Rhineland-Palatinate and Aschaffenburg in Franconia.

Travel to Rhine-Main

Buy a Flight ticket to and from Rhine-Main

Frankfurt Airport lies right in the middle of the region and is connected to pretty much all municipalities of it, most of them directly, by public transportation. It is Germany's largest airport by passenger traffic, and one of Europe's main international and intercontinental hub, so getting there is feasible without much trouble from almost anywhere in the world.

The airport has its own local train station, served by the S-Bahn and regional train. There is a separate, long-distance train station, for high-speed connections to other regions of Germany.

Travel by train to Rhine-Main

Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof is a major railway interchange in the German railway system. Germany's highest-speed railway line connects Frankfurt to Cologne and Düsseldorf, and further with the Ruhr region of North Rhine-Westfalia. Another high-speed line extends southwards to Baden-Württemberg, through Mannheim to Stuttgart, and from there westwards to Munich in Bavaria. A fork of this line runs to Basel in Switzerland. Eastwards and the railway lines fork out to either Hamburg and Hannover in Lower Saxony through Kassel, or to Nürnberg in Bavaria via Würzburg. An international, mostly high-speed, line to Paris leads from Frankfurt through Saarbrücken.

Many high-speed trains stop at Frankfurt Airport and do not stop at Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof. This should not be a problem, as the airport has convenient connections to all cities in the Rhein-Main region. Depending on the direction, some trains stop at other stations in the region. High-speed trains seem to head to Frankfurt directly though, with only some stopping in Wiesbaden.

There are 5 European capitals within roughly 4 hours of Frankfurt. The train travel durations by high-speed direct trains are:

Get Around

By public transport

The entire Rhine-Mein region is covered by RMV (Rhein-Main Verkhersverbund)], a common public transportation authority. Its main fare zones reach out far beyond Rhine-Main and cover most of Hesse, and even includes the city of Mainz in Rhineland-Palatinate. The tarrif system is complicated and based on a bewildering number of zones, so the use of RMV's fare enquiry service is recommended. There are various types of tickets including single, day and 7-day tickets. There are concessions to children of 6-14 years of age and groups of up to 5 people.

For travel between the cities of the Rhein-Mein conurbation the most important means of public transportation covered by the RMV are the Schnellbahn (called S-Bahn in short) and regional trains. All of the S-Bahn lines and almost all regional train services start or go through the Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof. Of particular note are lines S8 and S9, which go from Wiesbaden through Frankfurt Airport and Frankfurt onto Offenbach and Hanau.

Rent a Car or Limousine in Rhine-Main

The A3 and A5 cross at Frankfurter Kreuz, Europe's busiest road interchange. The A60 connects Hesse with Mainz and the A66 connect Frankfurt with Wiesbaden and Fulda.

Muslim Friendly Hotels

As one of Germany's most popular travel destinations, Frankfurt has a very large accommodation base, mostly geared towards business travellers and consisting of mid-level to upscale hotels. Price levels match the business travellers' budget and rates will spike during major events, like trade fairs, in Frankfurt. Be ause of intense competition, however, most of the hotels offer a high standard of service, and outside of peak times you can find really good offers on accommodation at even the more upscale hotels.

Other cities in the region offer more budget-friendly accommodation opportunities, and thanks to short travel durations on the RMV network they can be viable alternatives. Travel duration to Frankfurt and other cities' centres can be shorter from any of the centres, while many hotels in Frankfurt are in relatively remote locations, so the central position in Frankfurt can be misleading. The prices and standards for comparable-level properties tend to be significantly lower outside of Frankfurt.

Stay Safe

While incidence of violent crimes and robberies decreased in recent years and there is an increased risk of pickpocketing. Drug-dealing and prostitution is also quite prevalent, especially in Frankfurt. Police are generally helpful and easy to find.
