- From Frankfurt Central Station -
From the lower level of Frankfurt Central Station, take the S8 or S9 suburban line bound for Mainz or Wiesbaden and get off at "Stadion" station. This is the nearest station.
On the day of the match, a temporary tram (route 21) will depart every 3 minutes from Central Station to "Stadion". The tram is more convenient for those who watch the game with tickets for the main block or eastern block of the stadium.

If you are coming from the outskirts of Frankfurt, please use the A3 or A5 highways in the direction of Frankfurter Kreuz. Follow the signs with the Football symbol to reach one of the four parking lots. If you are coming from the city center of Frankfurt, pass through the city center and enter Sachsenhausen. From there, take Kennedyallee and head towards Oberforsthaus. You will then see signs for the parking lot.
 

□Airplane
It is recommended to use the S-Bahn from the airport to the stadium. There is a train station on the first floor below the arrival floor called Terminal 1, so please take a train bound for Frankfurt Central Station on platform 1, either "Hanau" S8 or "Offenbach" S9. The stadium will arrive in about 3 minutes at the first stop "Stadion".
If you have a ticket for a football match, you do not need a train ticket.
