Getting There
By Air
The nearest major airport, at Stuttgart, has good connections to Tübingen, including a direct bus link.
By Train
The Stuttgart-Tübingen rail line offers frequent service. Tübingen also has good rail ties to other major cities in Germany, including Frankfurt (trip time: 2 1/2 hr.), Berlin (trip time: 6 1/2 hr.), and Hamburg (trip time: 8 1/2 hr.). For information, call tel. 01805/996633 or visit www.bahn.de.
By Bus
Because of Tübingen's position astride some of the major rail lines of central Europe, most visitors get here from other parts of Germany by train. But if you're committed to the idea of bus transport in and out of town, contact Deutsche Touring GmbH in Frankfurt (tel. 069/7903501; www.touring.de) for information about the buses that service Tübingen and its surrounding region.
By Car
Access is via Rte. 27 south from the A8 Autobahn running east and west, or via Rte. 28 east from the A81 Autobahn running north and south.
