Frankfurt metro map
Frankfurt's U-Bahn runs underground in the centre and partly on the street in the outer districts. The two maps on this page show it together with the S-Bahn: the RMV rapid-transit plan for the whole region and the city network map for Frankfurt itself.
The U-Bahn opened in 1968 between Hauptwache and Nordweststadt. Today nine lines, U1 to U9, serve 86 stations over about 65 km, operated by the city-owned VGF. Lines U1, U2, U3 and U8 share the north–south tunnel through Hauptwache to Südbahnhof, U6 and U7 cross the city from west to east, and U4 and U5 serve the Hauptbahnhof and Konstablerwache.
The S-Bahn Rhein-Main is a separate network run by Deutsche Bahn: eight of its nine lines pass through the city tunnel between Hauptbahnhof, Hauptwache, Konstablerwache and Ostendstraße. Hauptwache and Konstablerwache are the main interchanges between the two systems. An extension of the U5 into the Europaviertel, west of the Hauptbahnhof, is under construction.

The RMV rapid-transit plan (Schnellbahnplan) valid from December 2018, showing Frankfurt's nine U-Bahn lines and the S-Bahn Rhein-Main lines S1 to S9, with regional trains and ICE stops.
The plan covers the whole S-Bahn network, from Wiesbaden and Mainz in the west to Hanau in the east and Darmstadt in the south. A box lists the departures from the long-distance platforms at the Hauptbahnhof. Note that U-Bahn and S-Bahn are separate systems with their own stations, even when they share a name such as Hauptwache.

The 2019 RMV network map of Frankfurt, used here as a U-Bahn map: the lines U1 to U9 are drawn in strong colours, together with the S-Bahn and trams.
To follow the U-Bahn, look for the blue U symbol and the line numbers in coloured boxes. The four trunk routes meet in the centre at Hauptwache, Konstablerwache, Willy-Brandt-Platz and the Hauptbahnhof. Outside the centre, several lines run at street level, as tram-style light rail with high platforms, especially in the northern districts.
