Travelling to Braunschweig

Braunschweig is located about 250 km west from Berlin in the center of Northern Germany.

International travellers can easily reach Braunschweig by flying to Hannover, Berlin or Frankfurt. The ICE train connects Braunschweig to Hannover (45 minutes), Berlin (1:30 hours) and Frankfurt (2:45 hours). Frankfurt has excellent long-distant flight connections and is one of the most important hubs in Europe. Berlin is well-connected to the rest of Europe by air. The cost-conscious may appreciate that it is serviced by many low-cost airlines.

Hannover is also well-connected to the rest of Europe, e.g., to major airport hubs like London, Paris, and Amsterdam. From Hannover, besides train connections, also airport shuttle can be used to get to Braunschweig (wich is then even approximately comparable in cost and time with taxis between New York airports and Manhattan).

If you plan to participate in IWQoS as well as NOSSDAV, we propose that you consider using the train. IWQoS 2008 is held at the University of Twente from June 2-4, and there are 3.5-hour train connections from Braunschweig to Hengelo, with good sight-seeing opportunities at both ends of the trip as well as on the way. For the combined trip, you should consider Amsterdams airport Schipol.

The web pages of Deutsche Bahn allow searching for most train connections in Germany. For DB's own connections, online booking is possible.
