Train from Airport to Baden-Baden

I am arriving at Frankfurt Airport (am Main )and need to get a train direct to Baden-Baden. I am told the train station is in the airport. Do I need to prebook my train ticket. How long is the journey. How much will train fare cost. How often do they leave for Baden-Baden. Where do I find the Station in the airport as the airport is so big !!

%26gt;Where do I find the Station in the airport%26lt;

The station is opposite terminal 1, just follow the signs to %26quot;Fernbahnhof%26quot;.

%26gt;Do I need to prebook my train ticket%26lt;

No, but if you buy an online-ticket at least 3 days in advance, it might be a lot cheaper.

If you are heading for Baden-Baden%26#39;s town center, (Leopoldsplatz) you%26#39;ll have to change at Baden-Baden%26#39;s station for a bus, as the station is in a suburb 5km out of the town center.

Hi, I realise this is a relativly old forum but I was about to post the same question! Out plane arrives in FRA about 3.30pm and we were going to get the train that afternoon for Baden-baden. I did not realise the station was out of town. Given that the following afternoon we will get a train towards Strasbourg where would you suggest we get a hotel? We want to sightsee, have a cheap meal and sight see again before catching the train 4ish in the afternoon. generally we stay in B%26amp;B type establishments.

Hi NZMike57,

%26gt;where would you suggest we get a hotel?%26lt;

In Baden-Baden town center. There%26#39;s a bus to the train station every few minutes, travel time is 15 minutes.

thank you Huwe. We feel more confident in our decision to visit here now!

Mike, I can really recommend the Hotel am Markt. It is right in the town centre and very good value (a short but steep climb from the bus stop, but fine when you don%26#39;t have bags to carry.)

|||

How short and how steep? we will have a case + backpack each each? (It%26#39;s within our buget)

Honestly, I am a bit lazy and I would take a cab from the train station (a few euros I guess but I drove my own car). I stayed there Friday to Monday and walked everywhere when I wasn%26#39;t carrying luggage - it%26#39;s maybe 40 steps uphill or a zigzag along the road of 150 metres. Go on, take the cab then have a beer - you it%26#39;s good for you.

Just realised my above post may not read right, huwe is the real expert so hopefully he will correct any other mistakes but I meant to say the uphill part is about 40 steps etc, but in total (using the steps) from the bus stop at Leopoldplatz (?) it%26#39;s maybe 300 metres to the am Markt and a bit longer if you follow the road round (to the Friedrichsbad then cut back uphill to the hotel). There are very good signs around the town pointing to hotels and attractions so you shouldn%26#39;t get lost.

For 10 odd euros I would still take the cab from the train station but for a 1.50 euro bus ticket you are almost there.
