Exactly 5hr 25min in Frankfurt, can I visit the city?

Is layover time of 5 hours and 25 minutes enough to visit Frankfurt ?

Both flights are international with Lufthansa and on one ticket, so I will have the boarding pass of the second flight with me. Will arrive and departure to/from terminal 1 and do not need visa to enter Germany.

Best Answer

I basically second mts’ answer about the time you have being on the short side. It would be a lot easier if you wouldn’t have to pass immigration entering Frankfurt. And I also second that Frankfurt in itself is probably not worth the visit.

But while you’re there, why not go to Mainz instead? The train ride is 26 minutes rather than 12, so you lose some thirty minutes of city time. In return, you get a beautiful city near the river Rhine with a nice centre. In my opinion, Mainz is much more worth a visit than Frankfurt. You can either take the S8 or one of the regional trains that go on to other destinations after Mainz.

It should take you no more than around 30 minutes to reach the center of Frankfurt by train or taxi.
