Frankfurt tram map
Frankfurt has kept and modernised its trams, which complement the U-Bahn on routes along the river, through Sachsenhausen and out to the suburbs. The RMV network plan on this page shows the tram lines in red tones alongside the U-Bahn and S-Bahn.
The first horse-drawn trams ran in Frankfurt in 1872, and electric trams followed in 1884. The network now has ten regular lines, numbered 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21, on almost 69 km of track, run by VGF. Line 11 links Höchst in the west to Fechenheim in the east through the centre, and line 17 runs south to Neu-Isenburg.
At weekends and on public holidays, a vintage tram called the Ebbelwei-Expreß runs a sightseeing circuit through the centre and Sachsenhausen, with apple wine and pretzels on board. It requires its own ticket.

Trams serve areas that the U-Bahn does not reach, such as Sachsenhausen, the riverside routes along the Main, Höchst, Fechenheim and Neu-Isenburg. Tram and U-Bahn stops can share a name but be in different places, so look carefully at the map before changing between them.
