If you arrive at Terminal 1, board the AirLiner bus from bus stop, outside the terminal, across the road. At Terminal 2, the bus stops just outside the terminal entrance. Get off the bus at the terminal station (Darmstadt Kongresszentrum/Convention Center). From there you can reach the Campus Botanical Garden via the Bus L (Stop Botanical Garden/ Vivarium).

A taxi from Frankfurt airport to the Venue costs approximately 65 € and takes around 30 minutes.

By train via Darmstadt HBf

Darmstadt is a sizable railway hub, with many trains stopping at Darmstadt Hauptbahnhof (main station). Public transport (buses and light rail) from Darmstadt HBf to the Venue is available.
