Frankfurt airport is a gigantic international airport located in Frankfurt, Germany. It is the busiest airport in Germany, the third busiest in Europe after London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. It is the ninth busiest airport in the world. Frankfurt city is not the largest city in Germany, it is in fact only the fifth largest city. But the airport has carved out a niche as an international transit hub, with countless international passengers transiting through Frankfurt. I myself have been to Frankfurt airport numerous times though I have never been to Frankfurt city. The airport serves 298 destinations in 110 countries, and carried 53 million passengers in 2010.
Despite the fact that Frankfurt city is not a massive city, the Frankfurt/Rhine-Main metropolitan region is the second largest in the country. And its central location in a densely populated megalopolis (basically an ongoing belt of cities and towns that blend into each other for a very long distance) means that numerous other metropolitan areas are within driving distance. Cologne, for example, is around 2 hours away by car, as are the Ruhr Area and Stuttgart.
