Frankfurt to Prague (and Krakow) by train - DB info is confusing
Posted: Thu October 8, 2009 06:58 PM UTC

Based on replies to other similar questions, I've gone to the Deutsche Bahn site and found tickets from Frankfurt Hbf to Prague Autobusova (I assume that's the main bus station there). The fare is 59 Euro and all looks fine, but I'm confused by the "Products" info, where it tells which types of transport are used - it says ICE and bus. And that the travel time is 6 hours. There are no connections listed (I was expecting to see a connection in Nurnburg), and no indication of when the bus part comes in - I would think that bus travel would lengthen the time, not shorten it from 8 hrs to 6 hrs. What am I missing here?

I'll be traveling with 3 children under age 8, so would like to avoid bus travel in general and reduce my connections.

Following a couple of days in Prague, we'll be heading on to Krakow, so any train travel tips for that end are also welcome.

Parking in Park and Ride
Posted: Tue September 1, 2009 04:39 AM UTC

Dear all.. Would like to know if overnight parking is possible at park and rides? I am thinking of parking in the Kalbach P+R as I do not have an emission sticker yet, and take train to city to spend a few days at the hotel in center.

So the questions are
- is this is a secure parking? can I leave car for a couple of days there with peace of mind?
- is there a maximum time limit or so for this location?
- would you recommend a better option for parking without killing the wallet as I would be coming from Dresden
- any challenges you see by using the above option?

If proven successful, I think this can be a useful tip for others driving to frankfurt.

What is the best way to get from Frankfurt to Venice? Or, does it make more sense to skip Venice and go directly from Frankfurt to Rome?

Auto/racing store for shoes
Posted: Mon August 10, 2009 12:10 AM UTC

Hey everyone,
I'll be in Frankfurt for a morning before I head to the Nurburgring. I was wanting to pick up some decent driving shoes before I head to the track. I don't need anything fire retardant, but just something a little more suited to performance driving. Does anyone know of some stores in the city centre that would carry some sort of driving shoes? Any websites would be very helpful!
Thanks!

Frankfurt HBF lockers
Posted: Fri August 7, 2009 06:00 AM UTC

My husband and I will be traveling through Germany and we'll have just a few hours to explore Frankfurt Am Main. We'll have luggage that is on the larger side and I'm wondering if locking up our luggage in Frankfurt HBF is a reasonable idea. Are there ample lockers? Most importantly, are they secure? How does it work — is there an attendant that helps you or is it self-serve?

Also how close is the train station from the city centre? What's the best way to get there? Walk? We won't have much time, so we were considering dropping off our bags and seeing as much as we can.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Using a Eurail Pass for the first time
Posted: Tue August 4, 2009 06:45 PM UTC

Hello VTs: I may have made a mistake, but I purchased a eurail pass and my plane arrives in Frankfurt airport at 7:20 am. on a Friday morning. I made a reservation for the 8:54 am train to Munich. My question is; do I have to stand in line at the DB ticket counter to validate my eurail pass or can I somehow do this on the train? And if, I have to go to a counter first, is there a special line just for eurail validations? Thanks, SH

train from airport to amsterdam
Posted: Tue June 30, 2009 02:20 AM UTC

My 22 y.o. son will be traveling alone to Frankfurt (FRA) and taking a train to Amsterdam. I've learned from reading posts that there is a train station at the airport. I'm assuming that he will be able to catch his train there. Will that trip be direct to Amsterdam or will he need to change trains? He has already purchased a Eurail Pass. I know that some tickets require a surcharge for a reservation. Will this be one of those situations? If not, does that change once in the Netherlands? Thanks in advance for any help in this matter. This trip has come up quickly and he will be leaving in a few days. We plan on doing as much research as we can, but I have found that VT is always the best source for info.

Hunting for an Old restaurant
Posted: Wed May 6, 2009 04:43 PM UTC

We were stationed in Germany in the 70's and often went to a restaurant in Frankfurt Nied, but can't remember where it was. They served a huge grillplatte( about 36 inches long ) which could feed 4 people easily. It was served with a sword down the middle, the meat covering the sword, and flaming. They always turned off the lights when bringing it to the table. Realizing that this a "looooong" time ago, we wondered if it is still around and has anyone ever heard of it? We will be in that area in early October and would love to go back there.

Frankfurt airport connection to france please help!
Posted: Mon May 4, 2009 03:29 AM UTC

i booked tickets to paris through three different airlines, (it was cheaper)

I realized i may have made a bit of a blunder and i am wondering if i can make this all work out or if i am screwed.

I am getting to frankfurt at 9:35 AM from NYC on a Sunday. I am not checking in any bags and I walk/move quickly. I have a connection on Air France at 10:40 AM to paris CDG

I read that I can check in 30 hrs prior to departure on their air france website

So my question, do you think I can make this flight? Do I have to go through customs? How long will it get from my flight from nyc(DELTA) to paris (Air France)

thank you

Frankfurt main airport things to do ...
Posted: Mon April 20, 2009 03:57 AM UTC

Hi
In the not too distant future, i will find myself at Frankfurt Airport, in town on business and have one day. Is the city center far from the main airport? Is it easy to get to the city center from airport without too much hassle? If the city center is too far, is there any area closer to airport easy to get to worth going to ( nothing in particular would like to see, just explore the area).

thanks
