Traveling to Göttingen

By plane
The nearest airport is Hannover, but you will often find cheaper tickets to fly into Frankfurt International Airport.
Hannover Airport has regular train connections to Göttingen (with transfer at Hannover central train station).
Frankfurt Airport has its own train station with direct train connections to Göttingen (however some train connections require a transfer at Frankfurt central train station).
Travelling by plane within Germany is not generally practical, as this often takes more time than taking the train.
