Transportation to Airport from Erfurt City Center

Erfurt - Weimar Airport

Erfurt is a city in central Germany that is served by Erfurt Airport, which is located in very close proximity to the city center. One of the most convenient and easiest ways of getting to the airport, which is located just 5 km away, is by tram. The tram departs from the central railway station and provides direct transportation to the airport terminal.

The airport is also easily accessible by road via buses that depart from the city center, taxis that are readily available in every part of the city, or by rental car. Private transportation services in the city are another convenient transportation alternative, especially for those traveling in large groups.

Tram

Tram line 4 is one of the most economical and fastest options available that provides direct transportation from the city center to the airport. The tram departs from the central train station and takes about 25 minutes to get to the airport. Compared to other methods of transportation, the tram is very reasonably priced. You can buy tickets for the tram at the station. If your location in the city is far from the station you can always take a bus or taxi to the station.

Taxi

The fact that the airport is so easily accessible by tram reduces the need for taxis and other vehicles by a significant amount. Nevertheless, passengers traveling with young children or heavy luggage may prefer taking a taxi to the airport. The taxi fare to the airport is reasonable due to its close proximity to the city center. However, you can also find out what the fare to the airport will be from your exact location in the city and decide accordingly. Taxis are a convenient alternative because they offer door-to-door service and provide direct transportation to the airport.

Car

The airport is easily accessible from Erfurt via the A71 motorway. We recommend following the signposts to the airport and having a GPS device with you to better navigate your way.

Bus

Buses are another affordable transportation alternative to get to the airport from the city center. Buses 894 and 891 pass through the most important parts of the city and provide affordable transportation to the airport. As an alternative, bus 895 also provides transportation to the airport from the city center for a reasonable price and in a short amount of time.

Rental Car

Renting a car is not a highly preferred means of transportation in Erfurt. The main reason for this is because the airport is located in such close proximity to the city center. Also, public transportation or taxis provide such convenient and affordable transportation along this considerably short route that there is almost no need to rent a car. Nevertheless, there are rental car offices located in the city center. You can rent a vehicle in Erfurt and explore the city and its surroundings without any difficulty. You can evaluate the option of dropping your rental car off at the airport before your departure by arranging it with the rental car company in advance.

Shuttle Services

There are some hotels in the city center that offer shuttle services to the airport. You can make a reservation for a shuttle service by contacting your hotel. If your hotel does not offer this service then you can find private companies online that offer shuttle services to the airport. Shuttle services provide quick and convenient transportation to the airport, which is located very close to the city center.

Passengers traveling to Erfurt for special events or business tend to prefer airport shuttle services. Therefore the prices for shuttle services are more expensive than public transportation, especially the tram. However, shuttle services to the airport stand out for providing door-to-door service and direct transportation.
