Traffic Information & SIXT Tips

A hub for the Autobahn, you have plenty of access to move in and around Frankfurt. The Autobahn 5, or A5, is the main stretch of roadway that runs through Frankfurt while the main commuter route, the A661 starts in the south and runs through the east part of the city before ending in the north. Those heading to the Messe can use the A66 for a quick connection. A ring is formed around the inner city districts by the A5 in the west, the A3 in the south and the A661 in the north-east. This ring is a designated low emission zone but you don't have to worry as your Sixt car will be outfitted with the necessary sticker. While touring around be aware that parking in the city center is rather difficult and it is best to make use of the underground parking garages if planning to spend the day downtown.

Considered one of the top global cities, Frankfurt is not only a financial capital but has a lot of on offer regarding restaurants, culture, and history. The city has many events and festivals throughout the year, so be sure to check what's on before you arrive. From Nacht der Museen, when all the city's museums stay open until two and there are special concerts and performances, to the unique Wolkenkratzer Festival, which celebrates the city's skyscrapers and features public tours among other exciting events. In addition to visiting the many museums and galleries, many people make a point to visit the Goethe House, former home to Frankfurt's most famous German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Sightseeing Destinations

Another benefit to having a car rental in Frankfurt is that it is an excellent way to experience the Romantische Straße, or Romantic road, that runs 220 miles from Würzburg and Füssen. Many people start off in Frankfurt and make their way to Munich, stopping along the way to see the Black Forest. The Romantic road is one of the best ways to experience quintessential German landscapes, from small villages to historic castles and can make a great weekend trip.

Bad Homburg

Just North of Frankfurt is one of Germany's great natural settings, Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, or Bad Homburg. This city is known for its internationally famous spa and wellness center, which developed in the mid-19th century. Once the summer residence of Kaiser Wilhelm II of the German Empire, Bad Homburg is still fit for royalty. Spend a day or even the night soaking up the healing baths and serene surroundings, adding a bit of luxury to your trip.
