Frankfurt streets map
Two maps on this page cover Frankfurt's streets. The first is an indexed plan of the inner city with a grid and an alphabetical street list, the second a detailed map of the central districts showing individual buildings, main roads and rail lines.
Many central street names end in -straße (street), -gasse (lane), -allee (avenue) or -anlage, the name given to sections of the park ring that replaced the city walls. The Zeil, a pedestrian shopping street between Hauptwache and Konstablerwache, and the Fressgass, lined with restaurants, are the two best-known addresses in the centre.
For drivers, Frankfurt is surrounded by motorways: the A5 and A3 meet at the Frankfurter Kreuz near the airport, and the A66 and A661 lead into the city. Parking in the centre is limited and expensive, so park-and-ride sites on the edge of town and public transport are often the better choice.

Map of Frankfurt streets
An inner-city street plan divided into a grid (A to D, 1 to 4), covering the Bahnhofsviertel, Innenstadt, Altstadt, Westend and the southern Nordend.
An alphabetical street index beside the map gives the grid square for each street, from Adlerflychtstraße to Zeil. Major sights such as the Alte Oper, the Börse, the Römer, the Paulskirche and the cathedral are named, and a 250 m scale bar shows how short the distances in the centre are.
Frankfurt roads map
Map of Frankfurt roads
A detailed map of central Frankfurt showing every street and building footprint, from the Messe and the Gallus district in the west to the Ostend and the Osthafen in the east.
Main roads are drawn in yellow, railway lines in grey, and the large track fields of the Hauptbahnhof stand out west of the centre. The map is handy for locating an exact address or hotel, but for driving routes into the city use it alongside a satnav, as it does not show the motorway ring.
