By Airplane
You arrive at Rhein-Main-Airport in Terminal 1 or Terminal 2. If you arrive in Terminal 2 take the "Sky Line" (free of charge) to Terminal 1.
There are two train stations at the airport. The S-Bahn trains (regional trains) depart from the underground railway station (follow the signs "Regionalbahnhof/regional trains"). Take any train of line S8 or S9 from platform 1 or 2 (direction Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof or Offenbach or Hanau); all trains go to the central railway station (Hauptbahnhof). At peak times trains run in 10-15 minute intervals. Tickets for all trains must be purchased from the blue-turquoise RMV vending machines. If you travel without a valid ticket you risk a fine of € 40. Key in the destination number 5000 and press the button "Einzelfahrt Frankfurt" for adult passengers (single ticket to Frankfurt). Taking the S-Bahn from the Regionalbahnhof is the quickest and most inexpensive way to get from the airport to Frankfurt central station.
A taxi from the Airport to the VCI building costs € 30 to € 35. The ride takes 30 to 40 minutes.
