Airports
 Frankfurt International Airport is Germany's biggest hub for international travel. With an annual throughput exceeding 54 million passengers, this is the country's busiest airport (and one to rival leading airports throughout Europe and the world). Flights connect to virtually every corner of the earth, with most domestic connections taking little more than an hour to complete from here.
Flying into Frankfurt offers the added convenience of immediate access to the long-haul train network. Frankfurt is also the primary hub for Germany's national carrier, Lufthansa Airlines.
 Berlin Tegel is another important airport in Germany. This is a four-terminal facility frequented by a long list of international carriers serving most major destinations. There are several other regional international airports (such as in Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Stuttgart) that may receive service from your area as well.
All of these are modern facilities with excellent public transportation links and a full roster of facilities. Adequate parking and facilities for disabled passengers are also available on site.
Public Transport
 It is possible to reach Germany from other countries in the European Union by a number of means. A thorough rail network connects Germany to all of its neighbours, with more distant connections possible to popular tourist destinations like Italy. Service from Paris to Cologne takes 4 hours and there are regular lines running from Amsterdam to Cologne (2 hours, 30 minutes), Düsseldorf (2 hours, 15 minutes) and Frankfurt (3 hours, 15 minutes).
 Some also arrive at Germany by boat. A long-haul car ferry from Harwich, England docks three times weekly at Cuxhaven, Germany (20 hours). Ferry service is also possible to cities in Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Switzerland, Russia and the Baltic States. Cruises and transportation along the Rhine River can also be arranged, most of which can be booked through German Rail and Eurorail passes.
 Once you are on the ground in Germany, transportation between cities consists largely of trains and hired cars. Buses play a lesser role in public transportation, as they are often slower and less comfortable than their alternatives. InterCity Express (ICE) high-speed trains link all major cities in Germany. These trains are equipped will full facilities including a dining car; and all trains adhere to strict timetables.
 Germany is well-known for its excellent motorways (autobahn), and this efficient network of roads makes intercity transport by hire car a viable option. Speed limits are open-ended in some cases and German motorists may travel at very high speeds when covering long, open distances. Major hire car firms have desks at all the international airports and in most major cities.
 Within individual cities, transportation by bus is much more common and most major cities have excellent public transportation infrastructure. Taxis are on call at the airports to carry passengers to the city centre, and airports are also equipped with a shuttle service.
The minimum age to rent a vehicle in Germany is 21 and you must have held your licence for 1-3 years. Drivers under the age of 25 may incur a young driver surcharge. Insurance must be purchased. Germany drives on the right side of the road.
