Does Frankfurt have two airports?
I am planning to fly to Frankfurt and I saw that there are two airports: FRA (Frankfurt Airport) and HHN (Frankfurt–Hahn Airport). Which one is more convenient and closer to cultural places including Mainz and the Rhine Cruise?
Best Answer
FRA is one of the largest international airports in the world, and right next to Frankfurt itself.
HHN is a small airport and was completely unknown, until RyanAir started flying there and simply declared it as 'Frankfurt'. It is nowhere near Frankfurt (or near anything).

Answer 2
FRA is about 15 km from the center of Frankfurt. HHN is about 125 km away. FRA is also closer to Mainz than HHN is.
Answer 3
Frankfurt Flughafen is the right choice for what you have described.
There is a tube stop in the airport where you can take the "S-Bahn" to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof. It leaves every 15 minutes between 0500 and 2330 and it's a 15 minute ride.
From Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof it's a 10 minute walk along the river to the Römer Platz (the cultural center of gravity) where there are riverboats waiting to take you on an excursion up the Rhine river to scenic locales like Rüdesheim am Rhein (wine tasting in season).
The same "S-Bahn" leaving from the airport can also take you west to Mainz and Wiesbaden.
