Be sure to follow these essential tips on the road from Nuremberg to Frankfurt.
You’ll most likely use the Autobahn if you’re going by car, so you must know the rules and any construction work schedules that may affect your travel time. If you're riding with Daytrip, your driver will know the best detours to take!
Keep some snacks and water in a day bag, as service areas are far apart in Germany. Also, keep cash handy since some establishments and toll stations might not accept credit cards.
Over 55% of Germans speak English, but throwing in a couple of German words goes a long way. Not only will it make interactions and transactions smoother, but everyone will appreciate the extra effort!
Lastly, and most importantly, always check the weather forecast! Brief and unexpected rain showers happen, and you don’t want to get caught unprepared while you’re out exploring.
There are various options to get from Nuremberg to Frankfurt: by train, bus, flight, or private car with an English-speaking driver.
A train ride takes only about two hours, as Frankfurt isn’t too far a distance from Nuremberg. The best trains are from Deutsche Bahn, whose ticket cost is also one of the cheapest, starting from around $49 (53 euros). However, while this option is convenient, you must always be mindful of the schedule and possible delays.
A flight between these cities takes just about an hour, exclusive of check-in times and transfer processes. When you factor these in, it turns into a four-hour trip. The cost of the cheapest ticket is around $165 (152 euros). That's more expensive per person than a private car, which will get you to Frankfurt faster and with better service.
A bus ride usually takes four hours and ticket prices start at $21 (19 euros). Since this is the cheapest option, buses are often crowded with backpackers, and there are fewer amenities than the train.
Embrace the ultimate convenience, where you don’t have to tire yourself out behind the steering wheel or go through crowded stations. Daytrip’s private car service gives you a customizable travel experience from your desired pickup point in Nuremberg to your final destination in Frankfurt. Along the way, you can talk with your English-speaking driver about local culture, or stop for sightseeing to experience even more German history and culture.
Choosing to drive a car is for those who want more freedom. It gives you the chance to make sightseeing detours at your leisure, but there are some drawbacks. The travel time by car only takes two to three hours, but unfortunately, you might not be able to enjoy the ride since you’ll be paying close attention to your GPS. If you're not used to the Autobahn, cars flying past you can be a bit unnerving. And then there's dealing with parking when you get to Frankfurt.
After your trip from Nuremberg, you'll find plenty of things to do as soon as you get to Frankfurt. Make sure you have these on your itinerary!
