Frankfurt
If you have a layover in Frankfurt (and many people sometimes do have several hours layover here), here are a few suggestions for something to do so you will not have to stay inside of the airport.

There is a two-and-a-half hour bus tour (with English-speaking guides) which leaves from the outside of the main tourist information office at Romerberg 27 daily at 10 AM and 2 PM, March through October. The tour takes in all of the major sites and are offered throughout the year. The tour includes a visit to the Goethe Haus.

Grey Line (069/230-492) offers tours that last about two-hours that normally includes a snack.

Deutsche Touring (Am Romerhof 17 - 069/790-3268) also offers a pretty good variety of tours. You may be able to find one from them that fits your needs.

There are walking tours offered (069/2123-8849) with several different tours at various prices. You can even tailor the tour to suit your needs.

You can take the Ebbelwei Express (Cider Express) which is a brightly painted old-time streetcar from which you can see most of the major attractions. The ride lasts about 40 minutes and you can make notes on the areas you would like to come back to and visit them on your own. 069/2132-2425.

Although quite a bit higher priced, you can have a personalized tour arranged by the tourist office. Tours are led by English-speaking guides and cost from DM 125 to 150 per hour, plus tax. Call Mr. Wolf at 069/2123-8953.

You could rent a bike (at the Goetheturm, or Goethe Tower 069/49111 or at the Train Station, 069/265-4834) and do it on your own. 

You could also follow the walking tour in Fodor's Germany. It is very good. Follow the tour for the Old Town starting in Romerberg Square. To find the book, click on Book Shelf! and then Travel Books and type in Fodor's Germany in the search box.

Fly with KLM to Frankfurt with fares as low as $375

Schau ins Land is a monthly German audio magazine, published by Champs-Elysees, for the intermediate to advanced speaker and designed to take their speaking and listening comprehension to the next level. Every issue takes the form of an hour long radio broadcast featuring interviews with German celebrities as well as up to date news from the worlds of art, business, literature, politics etc. Previous guests on the programs include Boris Becker, Oskar Lafontaine and Helmut Kohl. Each magazine comes with a complete transcript and a comprehensive glossary together with optional linguistic exercises. Available on both CD and cassette.  I know from experience that it is always better to travel in a foreign country when you can at least speak a little of the language.
