On Saturday, May 4, over 40 cultural institutions in Frankfurt, Offenbach and Eschborn will open their doors for the Night of the Museums. Buses and trains are recommended for the journey there and back home. Frankfurt city center and the Museumsufer in particular are easily accessible by S-Bahn, U-Bahn, streetcar and bus.
S-Bahn, underground and streetcars: more space, more journeys
The space available on the subway lines U4, U6 and U7 will be significantly increased. Most lines will run into the night with longer trains. Streetcar line 15 (currently Niederrad Haardtwaldplatz - Louisa Bahnhof) will run longer, i.e. until 2 a.m., and every quarter of an hour until around 1 a.m. On streetcar line 16 (currently Ginnheim - Südbahnhof/Bruchstraße), additional trains will run every 15 minutes between the main station and Südbahnhof until around 2.30 am.
To make it easier to travel to and from Frankfurt, RMV will also run longer trains on the S-Bahn lines S1 to S6, S8 and S9 until 2.30 am.
Frankfurt's trains and buses run around the clock
