Since 9 June 2026, Terminal 2 has been closed to passengers for a refurbishment that Fraport plans to finish in the mid-2030s. Every airline that used it has moved to the new Terminal 3, so arrivals at FRA now come through Terminal 1 or Terminal 3. The SkyLine people mover and the links between the terminals stay in service during the works. Name your terminal in the request so the pickup is planned at the right building.5
Messe Frankfurt allows 15 minutes for the drive from the airport to the exhibition grounds. On the S-Bahn, ride the S8 or S9 to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, then change to the S3, S4, S5 or S6 for the Frankfurt (Main) Messe stop and walk to the Torhaus entrance; the main station is also a 10-minute walk from the grounds. The site has several entrances, among them City/Festhalle, Galleria and Portalhaus, and the Congress Center and Kap Europa have their own, so name the hall or entrance in your request.6
With a car and driver by the hour, you can spend a full day outside Frankfurt and keep the same car between stops. Wiesbaden's spa quarter, Heidelberg's old town and the Rhine valley are the usual choices. Rüdesheim and Bingen form the southern gateway to the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, a World Heritage landscape since 2002 that runs for about 65 km to Koblenz, with castles above vineyard slopes.7
