Travel information

The university campus is a small town within a town which is why it has many stops for buses and trams. We suggest using the Rheinbahn's timetable enquiries to find the quickest way to reach your goal:

Arriving by plane

Düsseldorf Rhine-Ruhr airport is one of the biggest in Europe. There is a good connection to the main station by city train (S-Bahn) and from there to the university by tram (line 707 or U79 to the final stop “Uni-Ost / Botanischer Garten”= University east / botanical garden).

Arriving by train

Düsseldorf main station is connected to all international long-distance train routes. Both the U79 tram go from there directly to the university. The final

stop on both lines is “Uni-Ost / Botanischer Garten” = University east / botanical garden) (marked on the university map). Travel time from the station is around 10 or 20 minutes.

Arriving by bus

The university is on the route of the following bus lines: 731, 735, 827, 835 and 836. If you take line 731, 735 or 827 you can get out at “Universität Mensa” (University canteen), “Universität Mitte” (University centre) or “Universität Süd” (University south). If you take line 835 or 836 you can get out at “Universität West” (University west), “Universität Mitte” (University centre) or “Universität Süd” (University south).
