How to reach Konstanz

See German railway pages for info and online reservation, see billiger-reisen.de for flight search and reservation.


A nice possibility to travel over night while sleeping well: take the citynightline.ch to Basel (not too expensive, good special offers), then take a regional train to Konstanz.


The nearest airports are Zürich (Switzerland) and Stuttgart. (You can also reach Konstanz via Frankfurt and Munich, although this is less convenient). Lufthansa flys daily from Frankfurt to Friedrichshafen, a small local airport on the north shore of Lake Konstanz. There are also flights (Tuesdays to Fridays) from Munich to Friedrichshafen. (If you plan to arrive via Friedrichshafen, do not hesitate to contact us for further information.)


From Zürich you can easily reach Konstanz by train. The train station at Zürich airport is in the basement of the terminal. The journey takes about one hour with one change in Weinfelden, for travel information see Swiss Railway. Your destination in Konstanz is not "Hauptbahnhof" but "Schweizerbahnhof" (Swiss station), which is located 10 meters near the main station.


From the airport in Stuttgart you take a local train (S-Bahn) to Stuttgart central station and from there a train to Konstanz. With just one change the journey takes about two-and-a-half hours. For travel information see Deutsche Bahn.


How to reach your hotel

Hotel 'Centro' is easy to be found: you leave the station at its main entrance. just in front of you, you will find McDonald's -- and hotel centro is just in the same building. The entrance is at the right back side of the buiding.


How to reach the University.

The Universität Konstanz is a campus university: you have to take the bus (or the car).



Bus Line 9A / B:
The Line 9 bus stops just in front of the University. (On Saturdays it only starts from Zähringerplatz, where you can get with each of the lines 2, 3, 12, 14. There's no Line 9 service at all on public holiday.)
