Darmstadt is only about 30 minutes away from Frankfurt/Main International Airport (FRA).

You have the option of taking the shuttle bus ("Airliner") from Frankfurt/Main Airport directly to the central train station in Darmstadt ("Darmstadt Hauptbahnhof"). You can search for connections via the pages of the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV).

There is an Airliner stop at both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
Arrival at Terminal 1

•  The baggage claim is located in the arrivals area in the basement.
•  The stop for the Airliner is on street level, arrivals area B, gate 14 on the other side of the street.

Arrival in Terminal 2

•   The baggage claim is located in the arrivals area.
•   The stop for the airliner is on street level, arrivals area D+E directly in front of the door.

Important to note! The bus ticket/ticket can only be bought directly from the bus driver and must be paid in cash. Costs approx. 9 euros.

The regional airport Frankfurt-Hahn is about 120 km away from Darmstadt.
There is no direct bus connection to Darmstadt. It is possible to take the bus to Frankfurt train station or Frankfurt/Main International Airport and change there.

Its very central location makes Darmstadt easily accessible. If you travel to Darmstadt by train, please get off at Darmstadt Hauptbahnhof (abbreviated HBF), Darmstadt's central train station. During peak hours the train from Frankfurt Hbf to Darmstadt runs at least every 30 mins. The schedule is available from the Deutsche Bahn.

Important: Please make sure to purchase a ticket online or at a ticket office/machine before boarding the train.

After getting off the train please follow the signs pointing you to the busses and trams.

Take the H Bus (in the direction of "Anne-Frank-Straße“; price category 1) and get off at the second stop, called "Hochschule“.

The university buildings are located on both sides of Berliner Allee, the main street you're standing on once you got off the bus. In order to reach the International Office (Studierendenhaus building, C23), please cross the street and walk to the right until you reach a red building, number 36. Once you've passed this building, turn left and take the footpath to the h_da main campus. Cross the parking area and go in the direction of the white building straight ahead of you (C12 building, part of the Department of Mechanical and Plasctics Engineering). Keep walking straight ahead (and pass the building either on your right-hand or left-hand side) until you reach Schöfferstraße street. Turn left and walk down the street to Schöfferstraße 3: we are located right next to the high-rise building (C10). You will find us on the second floor.

Please go to the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund for local bus, trams, and train schedules.
