By foot or bicycle
The simplest route is to come along the paths on the west bank of the
Rhine, until you reach Hermann Ehlers Strasse, which brings you to
UN Campus.
By underground (U-Bahn)
The nearest station is “Heussallee”, about 10 minutes walk
from the office, on Willy-Brandt-Allee. Walk down the Heussallee to Hermann
Ehlers Strasse. The entrance of the 29-story building with a UN logo
on top is located 50 meters down the road on the opposite side marked
by two signs saying UNITED NATIONS or (in German) VEREINTE NATIONEN.
By Bus
Take Bus 610 from Bonn city centre (Hauptbahnhof) or Bad Godesberg city
centre to a stop called Deutsche Welle. Walk down to Hermann Ehlers
Strasse (toward the Rhine river) for about 2 minutes.
Information on bus and train in Bonn and its surroundings in German
may be found on the web at http://www.vrsinfo.de, and http://www.verkehrsinfo.nrw.de/ort.asp?Ort=Bonn.
By rail
The closest railway station is Bonn main railway station (“Bonn
Hauptbahnhof”), which is in the centre of the city. The Bonn/Siegburg
station is further out, taking a taxi ride of about 25 minutes, but from
here the very fast train takes only about 40 minutes to Frankfurt Airport.
By Air
The closest airport is Cologne/Bonn (CGN). From the airport, bus No.
670 brings you to Bonn main railway station (“Hauptbahnhof”)
for a fare of about € 5.00 (cash required). A taxi to downtown
Bonn takes about 15 to 20 minutes and costs about € 35.00, subject
to traffic conditions. Alternatively, visitors can arrive at Frankfurt
(FRA) or Düsseldorf (DUS) airports and can proceed by rail directly
from the airport railway stations to Bonn. From Düsseldorf Airport
the train takes about 60 minutes, while from Frankfurt Airport one
can choose either the scenic route along the Rhine, which takes about
100 minutes, or the fast cross country train to the Bonn/Siegburg station,
which takes about 40 minutes.
