By train

You can find the best connection for you via the  DB Navigator.

You can also enter the bus/train stop "Universität Süd" here; of course, you can also enter any of the other 5 public transport stops on campus. Since the names of the stops also occur in other cities, you should add ", Ulm" to the stop name.

Ulm main station - OSM-location - is a point of intersection

  • for numerous train lines (see above: Details on transport connections). It is
  • frequented by several bus lines and
  • currently one tram and tram lines and
  • serves as central bus station (ZOB) for regional bus lines.

This makes it the most important public transport hub in the city.

Tram line 2 and bus line 5 both connect the main station with the campus.

  • Travel time is approx. 10 to 20 minutes. Your specific destination on the ca. 1.5 km long campus determines which of the 5 stops is best for you, and thus your travel time.
  • Both lines serve all stops.
  • Both lines run every 10 minutes on workdays; during lecture periods tram line 2 even runs every 3-5 minutes during peak hours.
