AIRPORT GETAWAY IN NEUSS

The Sky Train, a fully automated suspended rail system takes passengers from the terminal to the airport station on the mainline rail network. From there, local trains travel to the city as well as other regional destinations. High-speed ICE trains are also available to whisk passengers on their onward journey to other cities of the Rhine-Ruhr region and beyond.

Taxis queue patiently outside the lower level of the terminal at all hours. The fast ride of approximately twenty minutes to downtown Neuss or the exhibition grounds of Düsseldorf is fairly inexpensive.

Alternatives

Several bus routes operated by the local public transport company also offer a service on clean, efficient buses for journey to various destinations. An S-Bahn local train under the station connects to the railway network and runs directly onward to the station in Neuss.

Rental car operators are located on the ground floor level of the terminal towards the left; the Germanic system of small orientation icons is placed under the ceiling. The infamous highway system is directly accessible from the airport complex and the journey to the city is easy.

The nearest alternative airports are Cologne/Bonn, Dortmund and Weeze, all about an hour away, depending on traffic. They are relatively easy to get to and from but journey times can vary greatly in this densely populated and highly motorised region.
