Due to expensive plane tickets, our flight times are were less than ideal. However, we turned our 9 hour layover in Frankfurt into an excursion in the city. I hadn't even considered it, but then Drake pointed out that the train ride from the airport to downtown was only 15 minutes. Of course, getting out of the airport was our biggest challenge.
We got off at the main train station (ended up not being the "right" stop), but we did a nice little loop around the downtown area. We were able to see the commercial section of the city as well as the rebuilt historic area along the river. We grabbed some German food and beer near the historic church and walked back to the train station along the river. A much better way to pass the time than sitting in the airport - and easier to stay awake as well!
