Getting There by Taxi:
Cabs normally wait in front of the train station and are the
easiest solution (about €15 one-way, 15 minutes), particularly if you have bags.
Getting There by Public Transit:
Allow 30 minutes for the one-way trip via tram
and bus. Take the tram right in front of the station; it's the first shelter after you leave the
train station—do not cross the tram tracks (line A, direction: Campus 2, or line B, direc-
