Arrival

By plane to Cologne/Bonn:

Most of our young guests arrive unaccompanied by plane. We offer a bus transfer service to the GJD guesthouse for students arriving between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. on the arrival date (A wait may be necessary.) Students will be met by a staff member at the airport Meeting Point. He/she will be easy to spot, wearing a yellow T-shirt and holding up the Goethe Institute sign. Please inform us in writing of your arrival time and your flight number no later than three weeks before the start of your course. For the bus transfer from the airport to the school and back, there is a one-off fee of € 25. Please have this amount ready on arrival. On your departure date, the Goethe Institute staff will accompany you until you check in at the airport.

If you book a flight that arrives after 6 p.m., you will have to pay approximately € 30 for a taxi.

By train:

Train connections to Bonn are good. The railway station is in the city centre. From the station there is a convenient tram connection to the guesthouse (Line 61 bound for Auerberg. Get off at the Innenministerium station.) You can also take a taxi straight from the train station.

By car:

The guesthouse is right at the Bonn-Nord/Auerberg exit of the A565 from Meckenheim to Siegburg, so that it is easy to reach by car.

Please note

Should students be unable to arrive or depart on the specified dates, please plan to arrive the following day or to depart one day before the end of the course, respectively. Our staff cannot guarantee transfer, or supervision on days outside the course dates. Also, we cannot provide food in the boarding school outside course dates
