Directions for local travel
The easiest way to reach the Physikzentrum is by (local) train and tramway. The best way to find your connection is to use the query web page of Deutsche Bahn (German Railways):
http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/e.
This page is available in English.
In the "Start" field enter e.g. "Köln/Bonn Flughafen" or "Frankfurt(Main)Flugh" for the airports in Cologne or Frankfurt, or any other city.
In the "Destination" field you should enter either→ "Rhöndorf Bahnhof, Bad Honnef",
→ "Bad Honnef(Rhein)" or
→ "Bad Honnef Am Spitzenbach".
The latter is a station of the Cologne/Bonn tram/metro. This is a good option if you travel e.g. through Bonn main station. Mostly "Rhöndorf..." or "Bad Honnef(Rhein)" will be the better options as they are directly connected to Cologne airport and the German long-distance railway system (both stations are along the same local train line).
From Cologne airport to "Rhöndorf..." or "Bad Honnef(Rhein)" it takes between 1/2 hour and 1 hour (depending on the connection. From Frankfurt airport it is about 2 hours.
From the tram station "Bad Honnef Am Spitzenbach" it is a 5 minutes walk to the Physikzentrum.
From "Rhöndorf Bahnhof, Bad Honnef" (a bit more than 1 km north of the Physikzentrum) you can also walk to the Physikzentrum. This takes some 10 minutes.
If you cannot or do not want to walk it is probably the best option to take "Bad Honnef(Rhein)" as your destination. This is about 1.5 km South of the Phsyikzentrum). At that station you will find taxis which should take you to the Physikzentrum in some 5 minutes (for some 5-10 EUR).
For those of you who stay in the Hotel Avendi, it is just a 5 minutes walk along the Hauptstrasse to the Physikzentrum.
