By Plane

The most convenient airports to reach Göttingen are Frankfurt am Main and Hannover Airport. Although Frankfurt a. M. is a little further from Göttingen than Hannover, airfares are often cheaper via this route. There are train connections from both airports to Göttingen. First take a train to the respective central station (Hauptbahnhof/Hbf) and from there a connection to Göttingen. There are also direct trains connecting Frankfurt Airport Fernbahnhof with Göttingen. For train times and fares check the website of the German Railway (Deutsche Bahn).

Upon arrival at Göttingen Station, take a taxi (15 min, approx. 15 euros) to the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry.
