You can reach Strasbourg by plane (Strasbourg-Entzheim airport) or by train.
There are additional possibilities via Karlsruhe-Baden Baden Airpark which is 50 km away from
Strasbourg: http://www.badenairpark.de (Ryanair, Air Berlin, Hamburg International) or via Francfort
airport (there are Lufthansa buses to Strasbourg and train connections from the airport) or via BâleMulhouse airport.
Access to Strasbourg centre:
If you travel by train, you will arrive at Strasbourg Central Station. From there you can either walk
(10mn) to Hotel Le Grillon and to Comfort Hotel and Hotel de France or, if you prefer, you can take the
tramway (line A or D) and get off at “Place de l'Homme de Fer” (2 stops). The Hotel is 5 mn away.
If you travel by plane, the connection between Strasbourg airport (Entzheim) and the city centre will be
through a shuttle train which leaves the airport/Strasbourg station up to 4 times per hour. The train
journey takes 9 mn between the airport and Strasbourg station. A covered pedestrian bridge connects
the airport to the train station.
The ticket costs 3.50 € and includes the tram fare in town. Taxis are also available for a cost of
approximately 40 € (weekdays).
For those of you staying in hotels in the centre of town (such as Comfort Hotel Center and Hotel de
France), you can either walk from the station (cross the station square, walk down the rue du Maire
Kuss and across the bridge; make a left turn after the bridge: Comfort Hotel is at the corner of the next
bridge and Hotel de France is a few meters farther on the right). You can also take the tram at the
station (Lines A, direction Illkirch or D direction Aristide Briand) and get off at Homme de Fer.
