Please review the latest official regulations here.

Arrival

  • Your destination will be Frankfurt Airport (FRA), please check the official website for more information. Pick up your luggage and pass through the security.
  • Make your way towards “Frankfurt Flughafen Fernbahnhof” (Frankfurt Airport long-distance station).
  • Shortly before you enter the station, which is made out of glass, you pass the so called “AIRail Terminal” on your left side. Go there and get yourself a ticket for the train to “Heidelberg Hbf“.
  • Note: There are direct train connections to Heidelberg. Ask the staff at the AIRail Terminal for these. If you get one that needs a single change in “Mannheim Hbf”, you are still fine. It’s still easy to get to Heidelberg.
  • Go into the station, orientate yourself, choose the right track and use the escalator to get to the trains.
  • If you took the direct connection sit back and relax. It will take around 45 minutes to Heidelberg main station.
  • If you took the connection via “Mannheim”, exit the train after ~30 minutes at “Mannheim Hbf” (Mannheim main station) and change tracks/trains according to your ticket. It will take another 15 minutes to reach Heidelberg main station.
  • Congratulations: You arrived at “Heidelberg Hbf”. Find the way to your hotel or the conference. The conference venue is close to the train station.
