    Getting TO/AROUND: If you travel in and around Darmstadt, Darmstadt Card is what you should get to buy. From one of my "Warnings & Danger" tips, you might already have gotten the idea that the city traffic planners are not necessarily the most intelligent ones, and cause much traffic jams and constant stops at any traffic light in any direction.

    So you better take tram and busses, which are covering the city really very good.
    Darmstadt Card is offered at a price of 9 € p.p. for two days, and covers all trams and busses within the city and some of its outskirts.
    In addition, it includes either free entry of reduced entry to most of Darmstadt's museums, exhibitions and other points of interest, such as Hessen State Museum, Museum on Mathildenhöhe, Residential Castle Museum, Jagdschloss Kranichstein (hunting castle Kranichstein), Railway Museum, Wedding Tower, and even Cinemaxx (the cinema complex) and the ice stadium.

    In the past, it was also available as a 1 day card only for 5 €. However, I don’t find this mentioned anymore. Maybe they are just too self confident and believe that everyone craves to do 2 days of sightseeing ???

    As a comparison: one single tram ticket is 1,50 Euro.

    Here is a route plan, in German, but well, the route numbers are important :-)

    Getting TO/AROUND: Darmstadt offers a very quick and efficient transportation to and from Frankfurt International Airport - Airliner (bus).
    The bus departs at Darmstadt Main Train Station nearly every half hour, and drops off the passengers at Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 at Frankfurt International Airport and takes approx. 30 min.

    (Please note that the earliest bus leaves at 4:20 resp. 4:44 and the latest at 22:35 resp. 22:59 from Darmstadt resp. Airport).

    Costs are 7,10 € (as of 2008) one way.

    It is not allowed to take bicycles on board (which I recently have heard of).

    For orientation, I have added photos of where the bus leaves from.

     Really enjoyed your home page of Darmstadt. It's not really so bad. My favourites are the Wedding Tower, Ernst-Ludwig Haus, the oldest part - Ressungen, St. Ludwig Church & the art nouveau house - Moosberstrasse No. 60

     Hallo Ingrid! Nice Darmstadt tips - I went there for a business trip, but other than the ESOC buildings, I didn't see much! Bummer - looks like I missed a lot. Viele Grüße aus Los Angeles, Eve

     Hi Ingrid! What a fantastic page on Darmstadt! My sister-in-law lives there so I have visited once, and I see that I missed out on a lot of interesting things. Thanks to your tips I will have a lot more places to see next time I visit. Regína from Iceland

     I've never imagined Darmstadt to be such an interesting city!! Loved the gardens, Art Nouveau Houses, architectural details and mosaics. But I can understand that visiting or living in one city is not same thing :) Wonderful page Ingrid :))
