Unfortunately, the University of Augsburg and the Welcome Service cannot organize airport transfers, shuttle services, or individual pickups from airports. If needed, you will have to independently book such a service at your own expense through an external provider of your choice.

Train connections can best be checked on the website of Deutsche Bahn (DB). We recommend using the DB Navigator app, as it provides real-time connection information on your smartphone and allows you to purchase and display tickets directly within the app.
Alternatively, tickets can also be purchased with cash or card, either at ticket machines located on the platforms or at a Deutsche Bahn information counter (DB Reisezentrum), which can also be found at most airports. Check here to see which services are available at a specific train station.

If you are unable to look up current train connections online during your journey, you can ask the staff at a DB Reisezentrum to print out the available connections to Augsburg for you. 

 

 

The public transportation network within the Augsburg Transport Association (AVV) is well-developed. Numerous bus and tram lines operate throughout the city and mostly converge at Königsplatz, which is about a ten-minute walk from the main train station.
To find the easiest route from Augsburg Central Station to your accommodation, we recommend using Google Maps. Alternatively, you can use the AVV journey planner or the AVV app.
You find an overview of the network lines and the fare zones of the Augsburg Transport Association here. The city area is divided into several zones, with zones 10 and 20 covering almost the entire city center and the surrounding districts. If you travel within zones 10 and 20 (e.g., from the city center to the university), you will need a ticket for two zones, i.e., fare level 2 (zones 10 and 20).

Travel within the City-Zone (e.g., between the main station and Königsplatz) is free of charge. 

 

 

For regular use of public transportation, the Deutschland-Ticket is a convenient option. It is a monthly subscription that allows travel on all local and regional public transport services throughout Germany (long-distance trains such as ICE, IC, and EC are excluded).
The ticket can be purchased online via the Deutsche Bahn website, through the DB Navigator app, via the AVV, or through other providers.

Enrolled students at the University of Augsburg and Augsburg University of Applied Sciences can obtain the Deutschland-Ticket at a discounted price through the AVV.
