The S-Bahn station Eschborn Süd offers direct connections to Frankfurt and is the main access point for visitors and commuters. The town center is walkable and has good paths for exploring the different neighborhoods.
The town today is home to major international corporations that settled here due to favorable business conditions and proximity to Frankfurt. This transformation from a small settlement to an important business hub shapes the town's current character.
