How to get to the city
Frankfurt's airport is the largest in continental Europe and offers direct
flights to many European and North American cities and other parts of the
world. Also, you may take the train which is fast and efficient in Germany.
The airport Hahn is quite remote like two hours by bus, served by Ryanair.
The best way to get to the stadium is by train. The Commerzbank Arena is 2
stops away from the main train station (6 minute ride) or, coming from the
opposite direction one stop away from Frankfurt airport (4 minute ride).
There are trains a least every 15 min. See www.rmv.de
The normal ticket price from the main station is 2,20 EUR.
If you come by car from outside Frankfurt follow A3 or A5 to motorway
intersection "Frankfurter Kreuz", go east on A3 to exit "Frankfurt Süd",
follow signs (with football) to stadium. It has 4 parking lots.

Recommended hotels
Frankfurt is a fair city and has many hotels from 0 to 5 stars. The part of
town called Niederrad lies between stadium and city centre and offers some
reasonably priced hotels. Fastest to reach after concert, one train stop.
One stop further is the city centre where you can chose hotel according to
the size of your wallet. There is Sheraton in the airport. You can walk
right into it from Terminal 1. Not cheap. Find hotels www.hrs.de,
www.hotel.de.
There is a new small designer Hotel calles Goldmann 25 Hours with prices about Euro 60,- to 100,-
and you can check in 24 hours.
The hotel is located in the Hanauer Landstrasse , where the Frankfurter Club and Bar scene has his place.
Recommended bars/restaurants
The tradisionell Restaurants and Bars are in Sachsenhausen the old style distrikt of Frankfurt in the center of the city.
On the Hanauer Landstrasse are the modern scene clubs and designer Bars. Recomended: The Coccon Club - got last year the titel: Best Club in the World 2006.
And also the King Kamehameha Club is good for a visit.
This place looks great and traditional and you get to see the local stuff and also the area. Inside and oustide both works fine in case of unstable weather. And they have plenty of food as it seems. Plus access by S-bahn which is the tram, then you see the city as you travel around.
