From Frankfurt Airport
The international airport Frankfurt Rhein-Main is located 25 km (15.5 miles) from Darmstadt. At the airport, regional bus lines depart from arrivals area B at Terminal 1 and arrivals areas D+E at Terminal 2. We recommend the express bus AirLiner (Terminals 1 and 2), which offers a convenient and fast 30-minute connection from the airport to Darmstadt Hauptbahnhof (main station), Luisenplatz and darmstadtium Congress Centre.
From the bus stop at the Frankfurt Airport:
It only takes 30 min to get from the airport to Darmstadt. Just take the yellow shuttle bus , called "Airliner", which you can find at Terminal 1 and 2. Please exit at the stop "Luisenplatz". Then take the Bus F/U , direction: "Oberwaldhaus", exit: stop " Fasanerie".
