Getting from Strasbourg Airport to the City Centre

Christos Koutsikopoulos

February 14, 2024

Strasbourg is a city with it all: cosmopolitan, vibrant, yet traditional and tranquil simultaneously. Home to many European Institutions and a large university town with thousands of students, it has managed to maintain a balance between a loud international presence and serene local charm.

Once you arrive at Strasbourg International Airport (SXB), you can get to the city centre by taxi or train. An airport taxi or private transfer will need around 20 minutes to commute to the city centre, for €35 more or less. Conversely, the train gets you to the Strasbourg-Ville train station in 9 minutes, and from there, you can continue via tram or bus to get anywhere in town.

Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Strasbourg at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.

What’s the cost of a taxi from Strasbourg Airport to the city centre?

Strasbourg taxis have a taximeter and calculate their fares based on distance. Although there aren’t fixed rates, the 20-min ride downtown will cost you around €35 in the daytime – if traffic is not horrible.

Where do I get a taxi from?

Strasbourg Airport is not a complicated facility; it’s a two-storey building. A long line of cars is waiting to board passengers outside the Arrivals Hall. When you exit the terminal after baggage claim, go to the front of the cab stand line and get in the first available cab.

Convenience

The convenience of a taxi ride to the city centre is, to a large extent, self-explanatory. There is virtually no waiting time when choosing a cab or private transfer. Just a few minutes after your plane lands, you make yourself comfortable in the back seat and admire the route on your way to your hotel or apartment without worrying about schedules and travel times.

Editor’s Note

The train alternative is a quick and reliable option if you are a solo traveller or a group on a tight budget.

Useful Tips

You can pay by card in all taxis.

There is a nighttime charge from 19:00 to 07:00.

Tipping is not necessary but at the passenger’s discretion.

Convenience

The train to Strasbourg-Ville is a quick and reasonably convenient option since the journey from the airport takes only 8 minutes, and the railway station is well connected with the city’s public transportation system. However, it involves a lot of carrying your luggage around, up and down stairs, which could make things uncomfortable if you have heavy baggage.
