Getting there
Getting to Ravensburg: airports and arrival
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Bodensee Airport Friedrichshafen (FDH), about 15 km from the city centre in a straight line; Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport (ACH, 33 km) and Memmingen Allgau Airport (FMM, 52 km) are also within reach.

Most major European airlines offer regular scheduled flights to Stuttgart, Munich and Zurich airports, all of which are approximately 3 hours away by train. There are many intercontinental flights to Munich and Stuttgart has a direct connection to Atlanta in the USA. Ravensburg has fast road connections to Ulm and Friedrichshafen.
Getting around
Being a small city, Ravensburg's public transport network consists solely of an excellent bus network and a regional train (Bodensee Oberschwaben Bahn). The main bus station is next to the train station, however, most bus routes also travel across the main square ("arienplatz). As most of the sites and places to stay are found in the city centre and the public transport network serves the city's suburbs, visitors to the city should be able to see everything without having to use the network. The centre of the city is mainly pedestrianised.
