I arrived for another visit with my mom and family in Germany. There are two different train stations under the Frankfurt Airport. The "Fernbahnhof" is the new station with the fast trains. It is easy to take the ICE (Inter-City Express) to your destination. I get off in Göttingen, an old University town two hours north of Frankfurt. My brother picks me up and I'm at my childhood home 15 minutes later.
There is a second train station for local trains. If you have a long lay over in Frankfurt you can take the local train, the S-Bahn Nr. 8 or 9 and visit the town. When I take the S-Bahn into town I always get out at the "Hauptwache" instead of the main station "Hauptbahnhof. It is a safer part of town and has a lot of shops and restaurants.

Downtown Frankfurt

On a hot day you go to an italian ice cafe and enjoy a special treat.
If you don't have time for downtown Frankfurt enjoy a quiet moment at the airport and go to the Paulaner restaurant . This restaurant is located above the "Fernbahnhof", away rom all the hussle and bussle of the airport. It is on the opposite end of the Hilton Hotel. The Paulaner offers authentic Bavarian food. The food is good and don't forget to order a beer.

The airport also has a German version of Whole Foods called Tegut. I often get a snack or fresh fruit there. This store is located near the parking garage.
