Germany Tourism

If you plan on taking the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (Frankfurt Public Transportation System), you should make sure you check all of the local schedules beforehand. Because of the recent influx of visitors due to the 2006 FIFA World Cup being held in Germany, many extra trains and buses have been set up to help ease transportation needs. However, once the World Cup ends, many of these extra services will end and the regular schedule will come back. If you want to take the trains, you can buy tickets almost anywhere in the city for a pretty low cost. The trains are a great way to get around Frankfurt because they are fast, safe, and easy to use. The maps are very helpful and employees of the system are more than willing to help you if you can't find your way. Another option is to use the bus system, which is also a nice alternative. The bus system has its own route that is different from the train system, but the cost is about the same. You can also buy bus tickets in the same locations as the trains, but you can buy bus tickets on the buses as well. Depending on how long you are staying, you can buy tickets that will get you multiple uses, sometimes just a few, but sometimes for up to a week or more. This ends up saving you money in the long run if you will be in the city for a while.
