Travel information
The university campus is a small town within a town which is why it has many stops for buses and trams. A special offer for fresher, but also for all other students, is the undefinedCampus Timetable of the Rheinbahn. We suggest using the undefinedRheinbahn's timetable 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 and the 707 tram go from there directly to the university. The final stop on both lines is “Uni-Ost / Botanischer Garten” = University east / botanical garden) (marked in the Map HHU campus and UKD). Travel time from the station is around 10 or 20 minutes.

The stops “Uni-Kliniken” (University clinics), “Christophstraße” and “Südpark” (South park) are all within a few minutes’ walk from the university and can be reached using trams 701, 707 and 713.
