Karlsruhe Travel Forum

Hey guys,

What is the cheapest way to get from Paris to Karlsruhe? I know there is a train running between them but they are a little bit expensive. Are there other cheaper options like a overnight bus ride or something?

Cheers

Hello. I am going to be in Munich and should arrive at Karlruhe's airport, what's the easiest affordable way of doing it (i checked flights and they are above 250$ which is crazy for 260 km)

Hi,
I have been looking at possible day trips for 3-4 days we will be spending in Karlruhe at the beginning of July. One of the spots I'm interested in is Basel, Switzerland. Wondering what would be the easiest way to get there and if this is possible for a day trip? We also need housing for 2 of us for 4 nights. Any suggestions? Thanks

For the first 3 weeks of June my mother will visit me for the first time from New Zealand.
She's 63 years old, very able, physically sound, and a very chirpy woman, no hassle.

But I don't think she'll be very comfortable on the couch in my shared flat here in the südstadt of Karlsruhe..!

Hotels are expensive and not pleasant for that amount of time, so I'm a bit stuck on what to look for.
In-between renters usually offer their places for 3 months +, hostels are bunks and travelers.. & there doesn't seem to be things like holiday apartments here in Karlsruhe.

So I need to find an alternative, preferably not to far away, Rüppurr would be fine also, as she would really like a bit or grass near-by.

Any ideas anyone..?

Or better yet, anyone have room to rent for such a case?

Many thanks all

Hello, i will arrive in Karlsruhe Baden Airport at 10 pm, and i checked that ther normal shuttle(http://www.baden-airpark-express.de/) to go to Karlsruhe is before that!! so know i dont know how to go to Karlsruhe Hbf!! Could someone help me??
thank you!!

I'm just wondering if there are guided tours given at the stadium or even if the public are allowed access to have a look around?

Hi,
This may seem like a really silly question, but...

is the bus/coach station for eurolines coaches far from the main hauptbahnhof in Karlsruhe?

I'm planning on booking a coach from there to paris and have a half hour window from train arriving to bus leaving and wondered if it was easily do-able.

Thanks

Got all directions, etc - here are some last minute items:

weather.com lists Karlsruhe for the 28th and 29th as foggy, fluctuating from -2 to 4 C. I have seen these conditions fluctuate and it may change a bit from now to Thursday - but based on the current forecast ...

How cold is cold? I have looked at photos from last year, as well as other Christmas market photos to see how bundled up people were, and it's a tad inconclusive. I have a big "bear" coat I take to New York in January, when it's windy and snowing. It is a bear. I also have another coat I took to Madrid early December last year. I usually bring layers I can adjust.

Questions:

- (1) Where have we decided to go - (I did not vote, but the place close to France and the Black Forest are my favorite choices). Any decisions, or are we waiting on the weather?

Taking into consideration Friday and Saturday's activities:

- (2) Does the snow falling today stay on the ground?

- (3) Should I bring the big bear coat (below the knees and heavy, but nice and worm) ... or the lighter coat (still wool and lined, but above the knees and a tad lighter)? While I want to be prepared, I don't want to be overly done ...

- (4) Is PrincessEmily so far the only child coming?

Thx!

I was in Karlsruhe earlier this year ... but I am not too sure where is the meeting place for the Glühwein meeting. I think the marketplace is "marketplatz" ... yes? but not too sure about the big church.

Welcome any clarification.

I am looking for a restaurant where you can eat a simple meal. I mean a place where you can have a lunch or dinner that aren't too fat.

Thanks since now for your suggestions.

I've found a cheap bed and breakfast in Nordwestadt. Could you tell me if this area is easily reachable fro the train station or from the city center? If so, do trams operate until late in the evening?

Thanks!

Hello from Canada.

I am hoping to find train connections between Karlsruhe and Meinigen. As I am not familiar with the rail system in Germany, any help or contact suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Kindly

I am looking for a quite cheap hotel in Karlsruhe. Let's say I could pay around 45 euros per a single room per night. Breakfast included. Any idea?

Thanks!

What would be the cheapest way to get to Karlstuhe Baden airport from Strasbourg, France?

Thankyou to all who helped with information on vintage motorcycles
My husband had a delay getting to Karlsruhe after being off loaded by Qantas in Singapore for 5 days a disadvantage of staff travel so his time was cut short but he has been to one or two different museums each day.
He tells me he had plenty of photos and information so thank everyone

Are there any direct trains from Karls. to Brussels?

How can I do that?

How could I get to Karls. from Trento or Bolzano by train? Have I to go to Munich first and then take another train to Karls.?

Has anybody stayed there? What's your opinion about it.

On our Euromeet2008 website (in the accommodation travelogue) we have already introduced a couple of hotels in Karlsruhe that might be interesting for those of you attending the Euromeet!

However, we are aware of the fact that the closer the meeting comes, the more deals will be offered on various hotel booking websites.

So, please, be so kind and share your deals and hotel finds here on this thread - it will be highly appreciated by your fellow attendees!

Thanks a lot in advance!

Need suggestions as to the better logistics to visit the Koln Cathedral from Karlsruhe and return to Karlsruhe.

I have been looking at some of the train schedules (not in the diebahn site, for time purposes in the Raileurope site) as well as to the KD Boat schedule at http://www.kdrhine.com/

From Karlsruhe, it looks like there's no way to do a day trip and do both the visit to the cathedral and sailing down from Koln to about Koblenz. I had some notes from a response a couple of years back but can't find them. So it looks like I'll need to stay in Koln overnight. So take an early train out of Karlsruhe and see the cathedral that afternoon, then sleep in Koln and sail in the morning.

Any other suggestions - reverse circle? Should I ride from Karlsruhe to Koblenz, sail from Koblenz to Koln, see the cathedral the following morning and take the train from Koln to Karlsruhe. [The assumption is that maybe there's a good reason for doing the trip in reverse, like maybe the cathedral is better viewed in the morning than the afternoon].

Would you recommend one or two places to stop along the way?

Any comments/suggestions welcome! ... and one other thing to do in Cologne, and favorite place to eat. I sort of like potato dishes ;=)

Thanks.

I am wondering if any one can give me distance from baden airport to karlsruhe and what railway station station to use to get to stuttgart.

Hello,
I live in Brasil and have a trip to Germany early October. In Karlsruhe will have a car rent from Avis and need to return it to their location in Karlsruhe at Stuttgarter Strasse 27. Is an easy walk from there to Karlsruhe Hbf ?? Is there any tram that can use ?? Easy to get taxi if necessary ??
Thanks in advance

Greetings list,

Does anyone know of website or other resources where one can get information on renting an apartment for a vacation lasting a week or a bit longer? My wife and I will be in Germany visiting her relatives in the Berlin area for Xmas and we'd like to take the chance once we're there to go to the Karlsruhe region. Would an apartment in fact be more economical than a traditional hotel? Any ideas or information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Cristobal

Hi buddies,

Nice to visit this forum and postings ensured me to get proper and correct information about my doubts. I am about to visit Karlruhe in mid of May for some official work in 76032 Karlsruhe and would stay there for approximately 6-8 weeks or longer.
So can you please post your comments for following Qs.--

1. What would be best bet for accomodation for single room appartment(pref with Kitchen), and since I am alone so may I get it shared by students or working professionals near my office location(76032 Karlsruhe).

2. Would it be better to have initial accomodation in some hotel room or youth hostel for 5 days. What would be the nominal charges for the same.

3. How is weather condition nowadays? Should I bring some warm clothes, or normal jackets would be OK?

4. Somewhere I read that Traveler's Cheque are not accepted easily, so what would be the best way to carry amount... should I get some Debit Card, how ever I'd have the local bank's card anyway within some days.

5. Which is nearest International/Domestic Airport from Karlsruhe. If not Intl AirPort then which one would be the best route to follow Frankfurt or some other.

I would be grateful to you if you solve my queries...
Thanks in advance :)

Manish

Hello,

My brother and I are on our business trip to Germany in April from India. We are first visiting Hannover (Hannover Messe) then Karlsruhe (Resale 2007) and lastly Munich (BAUMA).

I am planning to leave Hannover by CityNightLine train on April 18 to reach Karlsruhe on April 19 morning. Most of the hotels offer 2PM check-in but we will be there at 5:30 AM. Is there any hotel with 6-7AM check-in which is also economical?

We will have 19th & 20th evenings to enjoy the town and nearby surroundings - any advice? I will love to try local breweries and German beer.

Any ideas for Black Forest trip? We will be going to Munich on April 21 by train and can take detour on that day.

Thanks in advance!
