Travel Information

Airports

The closest airports to Trier are Luxemburg (LUX) and Frankfurt Hahn (HHN), which is almost exclusively served by Ryanair. Please note that the latter airport is in fact nowhere near Frankfurt - but it is relatively close to Trier. Two further suitable options are Cologne-Bonn (CGN) and of course Frankfurt/Main (FRA). Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) is slightly further away, but may still be attractive for some participants.

Other public transport options involve at least one change in Luxemburg.
