To/from the airport:	Frankfurt International Airport (FRA) transportation guide Frankfurt Hahn Airport (HHN) transportation guide (don't let the name fool you, it isn't even near Frankfurt!)
Good to know:	Frankfurt is a pretty safe city, but expect to be approached by panhandlers. The area around the train station can be a bit daunting at first glance. Just keep your wits about you, especially if you are suffering from jetlag after a long flight. Be careful in selecting your airport: Frankfurt Hahn, used by low-cost carriers, is a l-o-n-g way from Frankfurt. creativecommons image by poly-image on Flickr
