Traveler reviews

  • Thomas Koch

    ★★★★★Edited 5 years ago

    A dream for commercial aviation enthusiasts, especially photographers. Many airlines, many aircraft models in open space and outdoors. There is a free parking lot approximately 500 meters away, you walk through a forest until you reach the site which is near the runway approach. Near you can also see the construction of terminal 3 of the airport, a very big construction. You can go with the family and enjoy watching the airplanes landing and taking off.

    Best place for Airplane spotting in Frankfurt. Easily reachable by Bus X77 from gateway gardens or from Terminal 3. Other buses don't stop here. 5 mins walk from the Bus stop. We went on a weekend and good amount of people for plane spotting. Better to check what time of the day the airport is most active and plan accordingly. Also better to track flights on flightradar so you are well prepared for which plane is landing next.
