tattiescone69 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 What's the deal ? Is there public transport or just taxis ? Buses but they don't connect very well with the flights , we are taking a bus to Weeze or Kevelaer station and a train from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tam4ritchie Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I assume you mean dusseldorf and not weeze? If that's the case train. It only takes 15 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 If it's the main Dusseldorf airport you want the S7 or S11 train lines. From Wiki Düsseldorf International Airport (DUS). Düsseldorf International Airport is the third largest airport in Germany and offers connections to 175 destinations worldwide. The airport is one of the main hubs for Air Berlin. The main airport of Düsseldorf is located about 15 kilometers away from the main railway station. It takes 12 minutes by city railway S7 or S11 to the main railway station; by car, bus or taxi about 20 minutes. The costs are 2,50 for city railway or bus ("Preisstufe A"), about 20/22 for taxi: taxis are located in front of the airport terminals. Fixed Trip to the fairground is 13 with taxi. From Weeze Airport Weeze (NRN), [4]. Frequented by smaller, low-cost airlines flying into Düsseldorf. The airport is 80 km from Düsseldorf main railway station, by car or bus a 90 min drive (bus: 6-8 departures per day, 14 fare). If you need to travel from Düsseldorf main airport (DUS) to Weeze Airport (NRN), Deutsche Bahn is the easiest and fastest option. Just follow the DB signs at the DUS Airport. The train (S11 then RE10) gets you to Weeze or Kevelaer; then, change to a special bus, which takes you directly to Weeze Airport. Local bus fare is included in Deutsche Bahn tickets. The bus from Weeze train station leaves hourly for the airport until 9:20 p.m. The train goes every hour. It is also possible to get to Weeze airport walking from Weeze's train station. You will need to walk for a bit more than an hour (6 kms.), but is a very relaxed walk along the road (there is a walking line). Sometimes, it is cheaper to buy a SchönerTagTicket/Nice Day Ticket NRW (28.50), valid all day on all public transport in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. This ticket can be bought online on DB's website [5], from stations, DB counters (where it costs 2 extra), bus drivers, or ticket machines. If you want to travel from Duesseldorf city to Weeze Airport, you can also take a bus from the Busbahnhof, close to the Hauptbahnhof. The stop is only a 3 min walk from the Hauptbahnhof, behind the cinema at Worringer Strasse. The bus takes you straight to Weeze Airport. Tickets can be purchased from the driver (ca 13 Euro).The same bus takes you from Weeze to Duesseldorf Hauptbahnhof, the main train station in 1 h.

Fugitive Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys , that's really useful. I had to check as wasn't positive about the airport but I'm definitely flying to Dusseldorf (DUS) so we can take the train and the hotel is 2 minutes from the main station - sorted. Cheers Edited September 3, 2014 by Fugitive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronto1 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Apparently there are two train stations at the airport. Any idea. Which one is best for main Dusseldorf centre journey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Apparently there are two train stations at the airport. Any idea. Which one is best for main Dusseldorf centre journey? The one where you don't get a monorail to the station. Ie the one in the airport. Line s7 or s11, straight to the centre, 12 minutes. I presume the monorail train station is a trans Germany station and the S lines are local trains. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J for centre of Dusseldorf route S11 from terminal station called " Düsseldorf Flughafen Terminal" goes direct into town, avoiding the monorail http://www.dus.com/dus_en/bahn/ it goes every 20mins, at xx04 xx24 xx44, and takes 12mins times her http://www.bahn.de/p_en/view/index.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
