An inter-city train runs directly from the airport to Heidelberg Hauptbahnhof (main railway station) and takes about 45 minutes.

Getting Around Heidelberg

A taxi from the airports to Heidelberg will cost in excess of 150 DM and also take about an hour. There are a number of car rental agencies located at the airport, but parking in central Heidelberg can be problematic. Permits are required in many areas, the rest are metered and hotel parking can be expensive. Heidelberg is relatively small with a large pedestrianized zone and most attractions are within easy walking distance.
