For arrivals from Frankfurt airport, there are several options for you.

1. Take the Luftthansa shuttle van that takes you to the city centre, then take a taxi or public transport.

2. Take the train to Heidelberg. There is a train station within Frankfurt Airport, & a local station 3 blocks from us.

3. Take a taxi directly from the airport. Costly if alone but good value if there are 3 or 4 in your group.

4. Take a pre-arranged private shuttle. If you have the means then why not enjoy a luxurious ride.

It is recommend to reserve if you take the Luthansa shuttle. We can book for you, all we need is your travel itinerary. By train, it is very easy to buy a ticket from the counter or at any self-serve kiosk (English available)

 

Exit Autobahn 5 at junction no. 38 to Highway 535, Heidelberg/Schwetzingen, and go towards Heidelberg. You should be heading east toward the hills in front of you, then within 1 km take the first exit to Kirchheim/Sandhausen. Take the first offramp that ends with a traffic light - turn left. In 100 metres you come to the first set of traffic lights turn right and keep on going until you reach the next traffic lights (a Chinese restaurant, Mattress store, video store). Stay on that road as it turns right through the lights, you are now on Hegenich Strasse, then continue straight for 5 blocks until the road you are on ends at the train tracks. Turn right and go one block. You will now see our location on the right-hand side - just look for the BMW banner flying in front of the property.

 

From downtown Heidelberg, leave the city towards Schwetzingen and Autobahn 5- Karlsruhe/Basel. You will cross Montpellier-Bridge which leads over the railway tracks. Keep on going straight on this street, Speyerer Straße, for about 3.5 kilometers. On the right-hand side you will pass a Burger King and then an OMV gas station on your right. Make a left turn at the next set of traffic lights, where you will see an Esso and Holiday Inn. Go down to the first set of traffic lights (mattress store and suntanning salon on the corners) and make a left turn, then continue straight for 5 blocks until it ends at the train tracks. BE CAREFUL, cars coming from the right intersecting streets have right-of-way. Turn right and go one block. You will now see our location on the right-hand side - just look for the BMW banner flying in front of the property.

 

To our place to/from Heidelberg's pedestrian zone: Take tram no. 26 towards station Kirchheim Friedhof. The ride takes only a few minutes, the tram stop is called Odenwald Straße. You will have just past a Post Office on your left and at the stop you’ll see a Heidelberg Volksbank and a Riegeler bakery. Also this is a stop where you exit the doors on the left, not the right like all other stops. If you miss getting off, the next stop (Kirchheim Rathaus) is also okay. From there, walk back on the street that runs just next to but below the street of the tram, called Hegenich Strasse. Look for a restaurant called Pizza Europa at the start of the street. It is only 5 blocks and it ends at the train tracks. Turn right and go one block. You will now see our location on the right-hand side - just look for the BMW banner flying in front of the property.

 

1. Take bus no. 33 towards Emmertsgrund and get off at station S-Bahn Kirchheim/Rohrbach. The ride takes only 18 minutes. Hardtstrasse is the street running perpendicular right under the bridge on the west side. Come down the stairs or take the elevator and walk south 3 blocks. You will now see our location on the right-hand side - just look for the BMW banner flying in front of the property. Or, the other option is...

2. Take either the S3 or S4 train towards Karlsruhe. It is the first stop, called Heidelberg Kirchheim/Rohrbach and takes just 3 minutes. Once you exit the train, Hardtstrasse is right in front of you. Walk south 3 blocks. You will now see our location on the right-hand side - just look for the BMW banner flying in front of the property.

 

Public Transit Rates from January 1st, 2008:

Discounted ticket, available bought in packet of 5: 2.00 Euro each

 

The 24 hour tickets are valid for 24 hours from the time of validation, Monday through Friday. If the validation takes place on a Saturday, it is also valid on Sunday. If the following Monday is a holiday, it is also valid on Monday, e.g. on the Easter-weekend (a 24 hour ticket validated on Saturday is then also valid on Sunday + Monday). This is a good deal for visiting the city and/or if you are staying in the city for two days, as you can ride freely and hop on/hop off, and it is 24 hours from the time you first use it. For example, if you arrive in Heidelberg in the afternoon, you might want to take a lovely stroll in the historic centre and enjoy a dinner, but then you can use the ticket again the next morning to do more sightseeing or some shopping.
