Strasbourg airport transfers to the station and center
Strasbourg airport has a short rail connection to the main station, making the train practical for most central stays. Your onward walk or tram ride matters more than the time spent on the airport train. Compare that final connection with a taxi or booked car if you have bulky luggage, limited mobility or a late arrival.

How each one works
Train: TER from Entzheim-Aéroport
Follow signs from the terminal to Entzheim-Aéroport station using the pedestrian link. Take a TER service toward Strasbourg and buy the appropriate ticket through the official rail sales channels before boarding. Check the departure display and any validation instructions.
Taxi: Taxi from the airport rank
Follow terminal signs to the taxi rank and give the driver your accommodation's full address. Ask about payment methods before departure. If central access is restricted, confirm the closest accessible drop-off point and the remaining walk.
Private transfer: Prebooked airport car
Book with a licensed operator and provide your flight number, accommodation address and passenger count. Confirm the meeting point, payment arrangements and waiting policy in writing. Request any child seats or additional luggage space when booking.
Arriving late or leaving early
Check the last airport train for your arrival day on the official rail planner. If your flight arrives after services finish, arrange a car or use the taxi rank. For an early flight, compare the first train with your airline's required check-in time.
Before you land
- Search for Entzheim-Aéroport when planning the rail journey, and include time to walk between the terminal and station.
- For cathedral or Petite France accommodation, check the final walking route from Strasbourg station before deciding whether you need a tram.
- Keep your accommodation address available offline, especially if your booking uses a property name that a driver may not recognize.
Strasbourg airport transfers to the station and center
Does the airport train stop beside the cathedral?
No. It reaches Strasbourg's main station. Continue on foot or by tram, choosing your final stop according to your accommodation's address.
How often do airport trains run?
There are generally several services an hour, but frequency varies. Check the official rail planner for your arrival day and allow for a missed connection.
Can I use a city tram ticket on the airport train?
Do not assume an ordinary tram ticket covers the airport train. Check the current rail and combined ticket conditions before buying your ticket.
Is a taxi better for a late arrival?
It can be, especially after the last train. Confirm availability or book a transfer ahead if you need a guaranteed meeting arrangement.
