Transport

Frankfurt has a very well developed inner city network of public transport including bus lines, underground lines and tram lines organized by the “Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund”. If you take the subway (U-Bahn, line 1,2,3 or 8) to reach the Campus, please leave at "Holzhausenstraße".

For information on transport in Frankfurt and the greater Rhine-Main area, please see here.

Frankfurt Airport is located outside the city. Should you arrive by plane, you can reach Frankfurt/Main station in about 20 minutes by commuter train (S-Bahn). From the main station the journey to the University takes less than 10 minutes by underground.

Should you come from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, you can travel to Frankfurt with the private bus company Flibco. This takes about 1.5 hours.

All students applying for a semester abroad at Frankfurt University have to buy a semester ticket, allowing them to use public transport in Frankfurt and its surrounding areas in the state of Hesse. The semester ticket is included in the paid semester contribution and will be printed on the Goethe Card.

There is also the possibility to upgrade your semester ticket to a so called "Deutschland-Ticket", which allows you to use public transport and regional trains everywhere in Germany. As of WiSe 2023/24, the upgrade is available as a subscription for 10,07€ per month. Do not forget to cancel in time before you leave! Here is the link to the website where you can order the upgrade, please login with your HRZ-account: Deutschlandticket-Upgrade

To reach your destinations within Frankfurt you can also use the excellent infrastructure of bike paths that cross the town.
