Strasbourg is well-served by its own international airport, Strasbourg International Airport (SXB), a central train station, Gare de Strasbourg, and a primary bus station located at Place de l'Étoile.
By Air:
Strasbourg International Airport (SXB) offers direct flights connecting to various European cities, including London Gatwick, Barcelona, and Nice.
A dedicated shuttle train service connects SXB to Strasbourg-Ville station every 7 to 12 minutes, with a journey time of about 7-12 minutes. A combined train and city tram ticket for this route costs approximately €4.10.
For broader international travel, connecting via Frankfurt Airport, which offers bus shuttles to Strasbourg, or Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Europairport, about an hour away by train, may be considered.
By Train:
High-speed TGV INOUI trains provide frequent connections from Paris Est to Strasbourg, with travel times around 1 hour 46 minutes and fares typically ranging from €50 to €130.
Direct TGV services link Strasbourg with major German cities like Stuttgart and Frankfurt, as well as Basel in Switzerland.
Travel from London to Strasbourg by Eurostar, including one change in Paris, takes just over 5 hours.
By Bus:
Long-distance bus operators such as FlixBus and BlaBlaCar Bus run services from Strasbourg's Central Bus Station at Place de l'Étoile to numerous cities across France and Europe.
A bus journey from Paris to Strasbourg generally takes about 5 hours 40 minutes, with fares varying between €19 and €50.
By Car:
Car rental is a suitable option for those planning to explore the surrounding Alsace region.
Park-and-ride (P+R) facilities are available on the city's outskirts, where a 24-hour ticket, priced around €7.20, includes public transport for up to seven people into the city center.
