Arriving by car

Bad Homburg is directly connected to the Bad Homburg motorway interchange (A661/A5). Frankfurt Airport and Frankfurt Main Train Station are both only 20 minutes away, while it’s no more than a 35-minute drive to the cities of Darmstadt, Mainz and Wiesbaden.

Arriving by train

Bad Homburg lies directly on the S5 commuter train (S-Bahn) route, which runs from Friedrichsdorf/Bad Homburg to Frankfurt and beyond. Trains generally run every 15 minutes. It’s a mere 17 minutes from Bad Homburg Station to the Frankfurt Fair & Exhibition Centre (Messe Frankfurt), and only 21 minutes to Frankfurt Main Train Station (Hauptbahnhof). Commuters also have direct subway (U-Bahn) connections available to them, which run from Bad Homburg-Gonzenheim and Bad Homburg Ober-Eschbach to Frankfurt. These subways run frequently throughout the week as well as on the weekend. A subway ride to Frankfurt City takes approx. 30 minutes. Bad Homburg itself disposes over a well-developed bus network, connecting all local areas including the train and subway stations, the city centre and various commercial zones.

Currently in planning:

U-Bahn extension from Bad Homburg-Gonzenheim to Bad Homburg Station
Regional Route West: Direct, transfer-free rail connection from Bad Homburg to Frankfurt Airport Station via Frankfurt-Eschborn
