  • using ÖPNV (public transportation system):

    There's a very good public transportation system in Karlsruhe but you can of course also take a taxi. If you're living in downtown using trams is highly recommended. During the day trams are going every 2 to 10 minutes. Public transportation system im Karlsruhe is supported by Karlsruher Verkehrsverbund . So you can use the same ticket for trams and busses.
