Travel – Getting Around In Europe
Most students will get around using the local regional train and bus system. The VRS and VRR public transportation system for both Bonn and Düsseldorf respectively, are exceptionally efficient and comfortable local transportation systems linked by a regional network that extends the entire Rhine Ruhr Area.

For more extensive travel outside of the region students may find flying relatively inexpensive. Low fare airlines have recently discovered the European tourism market and often one can find a great deal. While we do not advocate any one provider, nor can we list them all, students have had some success with some of the following airlines that can be reached easily in the Düsseldorf/Bonn/Cologne region:

- www.easyjet.com EasyJet has service from Bonn/Cologne and Dortmund.
- www.germanwings.com Germanwings has service from Bonn/Cologne.
- www.gexx.de Germania Express has service from Bonn/Cologne and Düsseldorf.
- www.hlx.com Hapag Lloyd Express has service from Bonn/Cologne.
- www.ryanair.com Ryanair has service from Frankfurt/Hahn

Also check out the website of the German railway company (Deutsche Bahn) at www.bahn.de. Besides offering the EURail Pass, they usually also cooperate with our neighboring countries on good ticket offers and show you all their train schedules as well.
