How to reach the University

By public transport from Frankfurt Airport

■ After picking up your luggage walk to the regional train station at Terminal 1 of Frankfurt Airport. Please note that Frankfurt Airport has 2 train stations (the regional and the long distance train station)!

■ Purchase your ticket for the train and bus at the ticket machines in the regional train station choosing as your destination. Please select ‘via Rüsselsheim’ when purchasing your ticket at the ticket machine (ticket is at the moment 4,25 Euro).

■ Then take "S-Bahn" (direction Wiesbaden Hbf) from platform 103 and get off at stop (approx. 30 min ride). Note that your ticket will also be valid for an immediate bus ride to Mainz University and that you do not need to purchase a new ticket!

■ Exit the main exit of the train station. Please note that the train station has two exits which lie on opposite ends of the tracks. The main exit lies at the end where McDonalds is located.

■ From Mainz Hauptbahnhof you have two options (option 1 is quicker but bus no.69 operates less frequently than busses of option 2)

1. Take bus no. 69 (schedule check here: http://www.mvg- mainz.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Downloads/Linienfahrplan_aktuell/TFP_69.PDF) towards Fachhochschule from bus stop ‘F’ and exit at bus stop “Staudinger Weg”. (Please check the location in the attached map)

2. Alternatively, take bus no. 9, 54, 55, 58 or 68 which also service Mainz University from the main railway station (bus stop ‘G’ in front of the main entrance of Mainz Hauptbahnhof). Exit at Friedrich-von-Pfeiffer-Weg, cross the main road using the bridge and walk across the campus for approx. 7 minutes to the Institute of physics (venue marked on map).
