GETTING THERE TRAVEL GUIDE

Picture choosen by: MissCinidi Getting into Germany By plane
The most important airports are Frankfurt (IATA: FRA), Munich (IATA: MUC) and Düsseldorf (IATA: DUS). are Berlin Schönefield Airport (IATA: SXF)
and Tegel Airport (IATA: TXL), Cologne (IATA: CGN)andHamburg (IATA: HAM) have some international flights as well.
Frankfurt is Germany's main hub and one of Europe's four major hubs, and the destination of most intercontinental flights. Munich is a secondary hub. Travellers can easily fly in from most places of the world and then connect with Germany's biggest and most respected airline Lufthansa which is a member of the Star Alliance.
Some German airports are connected to the InterCityExpress and other rail lines, as are most international airports (except Berlin-Tegel Airport). The others all feature some sort of connection to the nearest rail station as well as public transport to the central station of the respective cities. Passengers travelling from Frankfurt Airport have the option to check in their luggage in Cologne or Stuttgart train stations and connect to the airport by ICE.
Budget Air Travel
There are budget flights to almost every city in Europe from Germany. Examples of budget airline hubs are Berlin Schönefeld and Dortmund for easyJet , Germanwings and tuifly (formerly Hapag-Lloyd-Express and HapagFly), Air Berlin and WizzAir offer budget flights
from many assorted airports across Germany and Europe.

By train
Almost all neighbouring countries (especially Switzerland, Poland, Denmark, Czech Republic and Austria) and even some non-neighbouring countries (e. g. Italy) are quite well connected with "EuroCity" trains. They are a little bit slower than the European high speed trains but
reach nevertheless up to 200 km/h. They are a worthwhile way to travel--not only for budget travellers (although budget airlines might be cheaper) or landscape viewers (especially the Rhine valley lines).
There are also several European high speed trains to cross into or get out of Germany:
The Thalys brings you from Cologne (Köln) to Paris in approximately four hours and to Brussels in about two hours.
The ICE brings you at 330 km/h top speed from Frankfurt (3h 15), Cologne (2h 30) or Düsseldorf (2h 15) to Amsterdam. The train journey from Frankfurt to Paris using the ICE will take about four hours; going from Hamburg to Paris can take eight and a half hours.
There is also an ICE line from Frankfurt to Brussels via Cologne.
Between Stuttgart and Milan (via Zurich) the Cisalpino offers several connections and is at the moment the only direct trans alpine train connection. Standard rail fares are quite high and in 2005 Deutsche Bahn introduced discount return tickets. You must buy them three or seven days in advance (e. g. online and print your ticket at home).. The Bahncard (see Train Fares) is a discount card for the standard fare. If your travel starts or ends in Germany, you are still eligible for a reduction on the whole journey.
Another option for cheap rail travel are the so-called Ländertickets and the Schöne-Wochenende-Ticket. The most well-known of these Ländertickets is the Bayern-Ticket. With Schöne-Wochenende-Ticket it is possible to travel in a group of 5 people from Amsterdam to
Berlin for less than 14 EUR one-way per person when the normal train fare is 100 EUR. If you arrive at a train station early on a Saturday or Sunday, you might be invited to join a group travelling on Schöne-Wochenende-Ticket or look for fellow travellers yourself.
Lander Tickets cost approximately 28 Eur for two people per day (Monday to Sunday). Schone Wochenende costs approximately €40 for unlimited travel throughout Germany over the weekend for up to 5 people. When booking on the bahn.de website or looking for schedules remember that you are not allowed to travel on the ICE or IC with these tickets.
In-city transport is approximately 10 - 15 Eur for two people for a day pass. Most cities have their own transport authority and the pass allows travel on trams, buses, trains and ferries. Obviously it is better to pay for in-city transport through these tickets thatn through Lander-Ticket.

By Boat
International ferry services exist, notably to Scandinavia. Some of the most popular connections are listed below:
Lübeck and Sassnitz are connected to Kaliningrad, Saint Petersburg, Russia. Sassnitz is also connected to Riga, Latvia and Trelleborg, Sweden.
Kiel has connections to Gothenburg, Sweden, Klaipeda, Lithuania and Oslo, Norway.
Rostock has connections to Helsinki (Finland), Trelleborg (Sweden), Liepaja (Latvia), and Gedser (Denmark).
Travemuende has connections to Helsinki (Finland), Malmo (Sweden) and Trelleborg (Sweden).
Puttgarden is connected to Rødby, Denmark.
