Airports
Göttingen does not have its own airport. The nearest regional airport is Hannover (HAJ), which is about 1.5–2 hours from Göttingen by train, but Hannover offers relatively few international connections. For most international travelers, Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is the most convenient option, as it is a major hub with frequent, direct high-speed trains to Göttingen taking around 2 hours and offering a comfortable journey.Trains
Trains are a convenient and comfortable way to travel long distances in Germany. High-speed ICE trains stop in Göttingen, providing easy connections to major cities such as Frankfurt, Berlin, Hamburg and Munich, and the station is only a short walk from the historic city center, conference venues and several hotels. Rail tickets can be booked via the German Rail (DB) website, and early booking can yield substantial discounts; installing the “DB Navigator” app is highly recommended, as it provides real-time information and alternative connections in case of delays.Buses
Long-distance buses, in particular FlixBus, connect Göttingen with various German and some international cities and are often significantly cheaper than train tickets, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious travelers.Getting around within Göttingen
The historic city center has a diameter of roughly 1 km, so most destinations can be reached easily on foot. Local bus lines connect the center with other parts of town, including several hotel areas, and routes suggested by common map services are generally reliable; tickets can, for example, be purchased via the FAIRTIQ app. E-scooters (e.g. Lime, Bolt) are widely available and offer another quick way to get around. Parking in the city center is limited and relatively expensive, so if you arrive by car it is advisable to leave it at your hotel and use walking, public transport or e-scooters for the “last mile.”
