Coming to Göttingen by car:How to find us
The nearest airport is Hannover, but you will often find cheaper tickets to fly into Frankfurt International Airport. Göttingen can also conveniently reached via other airports such as Berlin or Hamburg. Regular train connections to Göttingen are available from all major German airports, often including a shuttle transfer to the main central station (Hauptbahnhof, Hbf) of the respective city, where you then need to change from a local train (or bus) to a long-distance train. Frankfurt International Airport accommodates two train stations (Fernbahnhof: long distance trains, Regionalbahnhof: local trains). All trains to Göttingen will take you to Göttingen Hauptbahnhof. The quickest way to reach Göttingen is by Intercity Express trains (ICE).

At this website you will also be able to book online tickets. Additional information on the German train system and train travels from Frankfurt airport is also available here.
To get from the main station (Hauptbahnhof) to our Molecular Biology Office / GZMB (Justus-v.-Liebig-Weg 11) by public transportation (bus; approx. 2 Euros for single ticket), there are two options:
A taxi will take you from the train station to the GZMB new building in approx. 10-15 min (15-18 Euros)
