-From Frankfurt Central Station-
Take the S8 or S9 suburban line bound for Mainz or Wiesbaden from the lower level of Frankfurt Central Station and get off at "Stadion" station. This will be the nearest station.
On the day of the match, a temporary tram (line 21) will depart every 3 minutes from Central Station to "Stadion". The tram is more convenient for those who are watching the game with tickets for the main block or eastern block of the stadium.

Follow the signs marked with "Football" and you will be directed to one of the four parking lots. If you are coming from Frankfurt city center, pass through the city center and enter Sachsenhausen. From there, take Kennedyallee to Oberforsthaus. You will then see signs for the parking lot.

The stadium will arrive in about 3 minutes at the first stop "Stadion".
