"Main train station (Hauptbahnhof)" Karlsruhe Transportation Tip by ATLC

Karlsruhe has an excellent train station with a Service Point where you can ask any question. Everything is clearly signed and there are some nice shops and kiosks to browse, such as a bookstore, a restaurant, a bakery, flowers and fruits/vegs, etc.

The nice thing in Germany is that you can buy 1 ticket for 5 people at once, at a good price. For instance a 5-persons ticket to Speyer (30 mins ride) comes down to €3,90 per person for a return trip.

On Sunday morning as we walked into the station, we clearly heard an old train hooting its horn. Globetrott went to ask at the Service Point where the old engine was stationed. There isn't one, the curt answer was. So I suppose we hadn't washed out our ears properly because we both heard it...
