From Frankfurt Airport S-Bahn (fast train) services S8 and S9 (direction Hanau/Offenbach; Ost/Frankfurt Hbf) run at frequent intervals, taking you from the airport to Frankfurt's main train station (Hbf) in about 10 minutes.
From there, you can use public transportation to get to the fair, e.g. the S-Bahn (commuter train), U-Bahn (metro) and Tram to the exhibition site or walk.
You can take one of four different S-Bahn trains to the "Messe" station (entrance "Torhaus"):
- S3 direction Bad Soden
- S4 direction Kronberg
- S5 direction Friedrichsdorf
- S6 direction Friedberg
The underground will take you to the "City" entrance of the Fair (stop "Festhalle/Messe") in less than 5 minutes (take the U4 direction "Bockenheimer Warte").
You can also take tram 16 (direction "Ginnheim") or 17 (direction "Rebstockbad") to the Festhalle/Messe stop.
If you opt for a walk: You need about 10 minutes from the north side of the Frankfurt main train station to the exhibition site. Take "Düsseldorfer Straße" to reach "Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage" and from there just head for the "Messeturm" (pointed skyscraper in front of the exhibition site).
