Travelling to Mannheim

Traveling by Bus and Train
Mannheim Hauptbahnhof is in the immediate vicinity of the University of Mannheim. Walking from the station to the Schloss takes around ten minutes. 

To get to the venue by public transport, you can take tram lines 1, 2, 4a, 5, 5a, 6, 6a, and 15, or bus route 60 to the stations, Schloss or Universität. The Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr GmbH (rnv) runs the local public transport system. Visit their website here.

Please keep in mind when planning your trip that the service of Deutsche Bahn is not always reliable, and that delays and cancellations occur frequently, so allow enough time for connections.

Traveling by Plane
Mannheim has a regional airport, which has direct flights to and from Berlin and Hamburg. The nearest international airport is in Frankfurt. High-speed train connections from the airport take you to Mannheim in 30 minutes.

Traveling by Car
You can reach the university by taking the A6 motor way, and exiting at Mannheim Mitte. Take the B37 and follow it past the Planetarium and then turn left following the sign indicating Universität. Once you have passed Mannheim main station, you are on Bismarckstrasse, which leads you directly past the Schloss. Unfortunately, the University of Mannheim does not have a visitor's car park. We recommend using the parking lot underneath the Mensa, which is located next to the Schloss' west wing.
