How to get to the conference venue

How to get to TU Darmstadt

Darmstadt is located in southwest Germany in the federal state of Hesse and is part of the Rhein-Main metropolitan area. Frankfurt am Main is less than 20 miles away, and cities such as Mainz, Wiesbaden, Heidelberg and Mannheim are also nearby. Darmstadt and TU Darmstadt are well connected and easily accessible by train, or air.

From Frankfurt Airport

The international airport Frankfurt Rhein-Main is located 25 km (15.5 miles) from Darmstadt. At the airport, regional bus lines depart from arrivals area B at Terminal 1 and arrivals areas D+E at Terminal 2. We recommend the express bus AirLiner (Terminals 1 and 2), which offers a convenient and fast 30-minute connection from the airport to Darmstadt Hauptbahnhof (main station), Luisenplatz and darmstadtium Congress Centre. We recommend get off at “darmstadtium Congress Centre” which is only a few minutes’ walk away from the conference venue.

By Train

ICE, IC and EC trains stop at Darmstadt Hauptbahnhof (main station), which means it is very well con-nected with the German distance railway network. Darmstadt Hauptbahnhof (main station) is a hub for tram and bus lines to the Campus Stadtmitte of TU Darmstadt. You can take bus lines F (Oberwaldhaus), H (Kranichstein Kesselhutweg), K (Alfred-Messel-Weg) or tram lines 2 (TU Lichtwiese/Campus) and 3 (Lichtenbergschule). Get off at “Schloss”.
