All train connections and timetables can be found and the tickets be bought at the Deutsche Bahn website.

By plane. The following airports all have regular train connection to Jena:

By bus. The central bus station is located just next to the Jena Paradies train station. For tickets and timetables

Both train stations as well as the bus station are also served by Jena public transportation.

EXCURSION

On Wednesday 18 there will be a free afternoon. Those who are interested are invited to join us on an excursion
to the nearby city of Weimar, well known for its important role in the cultural and political history of Germany.

We will take the train at 14:06 from Jena West (5.80 EUR, 19 minutes) and have a guided city tour in Weimar.
After the tour the participants may of course continue exploring the city on their own.
