💡 Catch any S3 or S4 towards Heidelberg or Wiesloch. Get off at 'Mannheim ARL' stop. Pension Münch is a 2-min walk south across the square. Don't take the S1/S2 — they run a different route and miss ARL. Buy a single ticket from the vending machine at the station (cash or card).
Mannheim Hauptbahnhof (Bushaltestelle) → Mannheim, Wasserturm
💡 Bus 50 or 60 runs from the Hauptbahnhof's eastern exit (across from the station building) to Wasserturm stop. Pension Münch is 4-min walk north-east from there.
