| Steigenberger Esplanade Carl-Zeiss-Platz 4 07743 Jena Phone: +49 (0) 36 41 / 8 00-0 Fax: +49 (0) 36 41 / 8 00-150 How to get
to Jena: | The city of
Jena is a situated in the
centre of Germany. The ICE train line from Munich to Berlin is going through
the city. The closest airports are Erfurt (45 km), Leipzig (100 km),
and Frankfurt/Main (310 km). Since a high-speed ICE link connects
Frankfurt/Main with Weimar, which is only 20 km from Jena, and
again connected by train, I personally always take flights from
Frankfurt/Main. Leipzig is also quite convenient, because it is
connected also via an ICE line with Jena. Here is the journey planer
of the train . You can also book the ticket for the train on the
same web page.
| How to get
to the hotel Esplanade: |
EC and ICE- connection Berlin-Munich arriving at the station
"Jena-Paradiesbahnhof". The distance from Jena-Paradies
to the hotel Esplanade is 700m. You can get a taxi at
the train station. If you like to walk, its is only 10 minutes.
The Esplanade is at the Zeiss Platz, next to the Goethegalerie
(shopping centre), or opposite of the "Volkshaus" and the optical
museum (top left corner in the map below).
| If you are coming from Frankfurt/Weimar you will arrive at the "Westbahnhof". You can also get a taxi but the distance to the Esplanade is only 500m! After leaving the train-station, just walk down Westbahnhofstrasse. turn left at the next crossing (Ernst Haeckel Platz), follow the Lutherstrasse for another 100m and then continue straight on to the Zeiss Platz (see map below).
