Then again, you don't have to make your way through a labyrinth of tunnels to get to the platforms going the opposite way, since the platforms are just one big room. I guess that works well.

It's pretty easy to figure out where you need to go and which platform to be on for a train in or out. I think there are 20-30 different platforms. We took a DB (Deutsche Bahn) to and from the Black Forest without any issue. The trains are clean, smooth, and FAST!

It was quite an amazing train station with two dozen railway ramps, so check and double check which…read moreplatform your train is coming on. Our ramp moved, but fortunately, we figured it out. There are lots of restaurants, amazing bakeries, and coffee shops to choose from and if you wait inside in the restaurant area, you must make a purchase. Unfortunately, the train schedule is quite different on Sunday and we ended up having to leave the bullet train and get on a smaller train at another platform, carrying luggage up and downstairs. Then we drove a while longer on the train and then had to change trains yet again. We are so grateful to the people who helped us finally get to our hotel!

One of the downtown stations on Frankfurt's metro, this station services both the S-Bahn and the…read moreU-Bahn. It's definitely a very busy station with commuters and it is well designed for lots of foot traffic and transitioning passengers from the platforms to the street level. Several exits. The station is served by EIGHT S-Bahn stations (S1-S6, S8, S9) and six U-Bahn lines (U1-U3, U6-U8) which must be some sort of record. On the S-Bahn, it's between Taunusanlage and Konstablerwache. There is a decent amount of underground shopping and the usual automated ticketing kiosks.

The Mainz train station is pretty standard for Europe. We had to catch a very early train to the…read moreairport for our flight home and overall I'd say we had an average experience here. The ticketing was fairly frustrating, but we'd grown accustomed to that as the electronic ticketing system in Germany, despite there being an English option, is not at all easy to navigate unless you are familiar with it. By this time in our trip we knew what to expect and had built in some time to navigate it and had a vague idea of what we needed so it went fairly well, but with the same little computer hiccups we'd come to expect from the system. The overall train station was, in my opinion, a bit grimy, and well loved, but it had some little cafes that were open early which was a win, and some fairly clean restrooms, though you had to go all the way to the basement for them. Overall, not a lot to report here. It could be modernized, cleaned up a bit, and improved, but it gets the job done.

There is food and even groceries in the basement area. WC is available as well. But this is so complicated to find your platform. We missed our train because we could not find platform 3.

Major train station in the heart of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It's the second busiest in the city…read moreafter the Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof. Served by -eight- S-bahn lines, four U-bahn lines and two tram lines, it's super crazy busy. Lots of signage, most of which is in German and in English but it's not that hard to find an "S5" train and wait for it to arrive. There are the usual automated ticket vending machines and at least the S-bahn station is handicap accessible with escalators and a lift from the street to the platform. The name of the station is Kobstablerwache, which translates to constable watch-house. This refers to the armory that was built here in 1544 and though the actual building is gone, the name has stayed.
