How to get from Düsseldorf Weeze Airport to Düsseldorf City Centre

Düsseldorf is Germany’s art and fashion hub and one of the country’s leading university towns. Packed with trendy boutiques, green parks, and stunning historical architecture, the city has it all. 

The glorious town serves two airports; Düsseldorf International Airport, the main airport, and Weeze International Airport (NRN), a small airport that caters to low-cost airlines. If landing at NRN, you have two transportation options to get to Düsseldorf’s main city centre; you can take a taxi or a train.
