By plane and train

The closest airport is Maastricht in The Netherlands, but it is a small airport with only few incoming flights, most with KLM from Amsterdam. From this airport, you can take a taxi.

The closest airports in Germany are Cologne-Bonn (CGN) and Düsseldorf (DUS). DUS has more direct flights with traditional airlines, CGN more discount airlines. From both airports, you should take a rental car. The trip will take about 45-60 minutes. Another option is to take the train:

  • From Cologne-Bonn Airport, take a train (e.g. RE 11330) to Cologne Central Station; from there, take a train (e.g. RE 11434) to Aachen Central Station (trip will take about 60-75 minutes). There are several connections per hour. Try to find a conncection by ICE/Thalys trains, as they are much faster.
  • From Düsseldorf Airport, use the "Skytrain" to get to the train station of the airport; from there, take a train (e.g. RE 10132) to Aachen Central Station (trip will take about 90 minutes)

Another option is to fly to Frankfurt (FRA). From there, you can take a high speed train that brings you in 90 mins directly from FRA to Aachen. This trains starts in FRA 07:43, 13:43, 18:43.

With changing trains in Cologne airport, you have an option every 20 mins from FRA, but the trip may take 2 hours.

A final option is to fly to Brussels. From there, Aachen is about 60 mins by rental car, or about 90 mins by train.

From Aachen Central Station:

  • Either try to find a train to Aachen-West and then follow directions from there, as described below; or: At Aachen Central Station, find bus stop H.2 and get on bus line 13B towards Ponttor
  • Leave the bus (after about 12 minutes) at bus stop "Ponttor"
  • Get on bus line 37 towards AC Orsbach Lemiers
  • Leave the bus (after about 5 minutes) at bus stop "Wildbach"
  • From there, it is 5 minute walk: follow Roermonderstraße (southbound), then turn right into Kackertstraße
  • Find us on the left hand side after about 200 m.

If possible, try to find a train connection to Aachen-West, as it is much closer (especially advantageous when using regional trains from Düsseldorf).

From Aachen West:

  • Walk across the Republikplatz to Bus Stop "Westbahnhof" and get on bus line 24 towards Laurensberg-Rahe (bus leaves once every 30 minutes in the daytime). (note: as there are bus stops called "Westbahnhof" in several different spots, make sure you find the one in Süsterfeldstraße; look at this map)
  • Leave the bus (after about 3 minutes) at bus stop "Süsterau"
  • From there, it is a walk of 5 to 7 minutes: follow Süsterfeldstraße (northbound), then turn right into Kackertstraße.
  • Find us on the right hand side after about 100 m.
