🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Frankfurt Airport (FRA) → Mainz Hauptbahnhof
💡 Take the S8 direct to Mainz Hbf. It's cheaper than the ICE and you don't need to change. From the station, it's a 10-minute walk or short tram ride to Hotel Adler.
Frankfurt Airport (Fernbahnhof or Regionalbahnhof) → Mainz Hauptbahnhof
💡 Take the S8 (direction Wiesbaden) from the regional station — it's cheaper than the ICE and runs more often. Validate your ticket at the blue machine before boarding.
Frankfurt Airport (Terminal 1) → Mainz Hauptbahnhof
💡 Buy a round-trip ticket at the airport machine to save about 2 euros. The bus stops right outside arrivals, no need to go downstairs to the train station.
Mainz Hauptbahnhof → Bürgerhaus, Hechtsheim (near Bs Apartments Mainz)
💡 Get off at 'Bürgerhaus' stop, then it's a 7-minute walk east. Avoid the late-night 51 — it takes a loop through Bretzenheim and adds 10 minutes.
Mainz Hauptbahnhof (tram stop 'Hauptbahnhof') → ibis Hotel Mainz City (stop 'Römerpassage' or 'Höfchen')
💡 Exit Hbf via the south tunnel and follow the tram signs at street level. Tram 50 stops closer – get off at 'Höfchen' for a 2-minute walk to the ibis. Buy a single from the machine at the stop – exact change helps.
Mainz Hauptbahnhof → Hotel Adler (Höfchen/Listmann)
💡 Trams 50 and 51 both stop right at Höfchen/Listmann, a five-minute walk from the Adler. Buy a single ticket from the machine on the platform – you can use cash or card, but avoid buying on board as it costs more.
Mainz Hauptbahnhof → Hotel Adler (Schillerplatz)
💡 Bus 6 drops you at Schillerplatz, barely a minute from the hotel entrance. It's slower than the tram but runs later on weekends. Buy a day pass if you're sightseeing – €5.60 for single zone covers unlimited trips and is cheaper than two singles.
Frankfurt Airport P36 bus stop → Mainz city (Hauptbahnhof or central stops)
💡 Book ahead for the €3.99 fare – walk-up price can be €8-10. Airport buses stop at Terminal 1, not all go to ibis directly – check final stop.
Frankfurt Airport (Flughafen Fernbahnhof) → Mainz Hauptbahnhof
💡 Buy a day ticket for €9.80 if you plan more than two trips within Mainz or Wiesbaden after arrival.
Frankfurt Airport → Bs Apartments Mainz (Hechtsheim)
💡 Use Uber or Free Now for airport pickups — taxis at the rank often charge a flat 70 euro fee. For a shorter hop from Mainz station, ride-sharing (like Blablar) is rarely available, so stick to the tram.
Frankfurt Airport taxi rank (Terminal 1 arrivals) → ibis Hotel Mainz City, Holzhofstraße 2
💡 Fixed price is possible – ask at rank for €70-80 flat to ibis. Avoid the 'luxury' drivers who linger near T1 exits; use the official rank.
Frankfurt Airport (FRA) → Hotel Adler, Mainz
💡 Fixed-price rides to Mainz are available from the official taxi rank outside arrivals. Ask for the set fare before starting – should be about €80. Uber runs too, but it's often similar cost and less reliable for airport pickups.
