By air
Frankfurt Airport is a hub for numerous airlines. From Frankfurt
Airport an Intercity Express (ICE)
train
leaves at least once an hour to Mannheim (travel time about 32
minutes). Taxis are available in front of the airport.
By rail and
public transport
Mannheim's
main train station (Mannheim Hauptbahnhof) is a well-connected ICE junction.
You
can take the following bus/tram lines to GESIS:
- Bus
line 60 (direction Pfeifferswörth), exit: Universität West
- Bus
line 65 (direction Popakademie), exit: Universität West
- Tram line 1 (direction Schönau), 5 (direction
Heidelberg), exit: Schloss
You can find
information on the timetables here or on Google Maps. If you don’t mind a little walk, GESIS is also about 20
minutes walking distance from the main station.
Next
to the main station, you will also find a VRN-Nextbike
rental station. Here you can rent a bicycle via app. A drop-off station is
right next to GESIS in B6 at the building of the Faculty of Social Sciences of
the University of Mannheim in A5. It's another minute's walk from here.
Around
the main station you will also usually find e-scooters from the companies Bolt and Tier.
