Kiel Travel Guide

Kiel Travel Guide - Germany

Since Kiel is a port city, many visitors come in from Scandinavia and other northern European countries. Once landed, they can avail themselves of the very efficient trains and buses etc to get around the capital.

Kiel Railway Station (Hauptbahnhof), the main train station, stands next to the main bus terminus and is situated right in the middle of the shopping center. Travelers can ride into Hamburg or beyond by picking up connections on this line.

Buses take travelers as far as Poland and on to Estonia if they so wish or, for those coming into Kiel, take a bus from Berlin which takes around six hours. The nearest major airport is situated in Hamburg – about 100 kms away, but charters do fly on an irregular basis.

Buses and ferries in this port city ensure that the populace gets to where they should be. Taxis are expensive so many people opt to hire bicycles to get around.
