I've only ever passed through by train before and I'm not familiar with the city. Any suggestions on what to check out? I arrive around 11AM so it's nice timing for the layover.

Nothing to contribute other than I am jealous of your layover. Germany is beautiful and a well planned layover is a good way to get a taste of a city.

You at the airport or the hauptbahnhof?
eta-if it's the hauptbahnhof you're right across the street from the red light.

there was some good info in a thread a few months ago about this, try to dig it up, I am usually in Mainz when I go to Frankfurt, but at the very least, you will have no trouble finding good food and beer. good luck

I'm lazy and the airline clubs in Frankfurt are self serve booze and decent food, so I'd probably hang out and get shitfaced.

I had a 9 hour layout in Frankfurt last year. Here is what I did.

1. Went to luftansa arrivals lounge and showered (was in b class),
2. left my carryon bags in a baggage holding place (it was near the same area as the arrival lounge, you handed them your bags, paid a small fee upon picking up baggage),
3. took a train to franfurt haupwatze (sp?) station which takes you to center of town. Smack dab in the center. Be sure to take the correct line which goes all the way to that station.
4. Walked around town and explored.
5. Had a beer and some grub in the town square (you'll know it when you see it).
6. Catch train back to airport with plenty of time for lufstansa lounge beers/drinks.

ETA, I really enjoyed my experience.
