🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Düsseldorf Airport (Arrival B) → Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof (ZOB bus station)
💡 The bus drops you at the central bus station (ZOB), a 5-minute walk from the hotel. Buy a return ticket if you're flying back within a week—it's cheaper than two singles.
Vohwinkel station (western terminus) → Oberbarmen station (eastern terminus) — stops near Spark by Hilton at 'Döppersberg' stop
💡 The Schwebebahn runs directly above the city. Get off at 'Döppersberg' stop — the hotel is a 3-minute walk. Buy a day ticket (7.50 EUR) if you plan to use it for sightseeing.
Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof (main station) → Spark by Hilton, Düsseldorf city centre or Cologne
💡 From Düsseldorf airport, take the SkyTrain to Düsseldorf Flughafen station, then S1 to Wuppertal Hbf. From there it’s a 10-minute walk or a short taxi ride to the hotel.
Düsseldorf Airport (Arrival exit) → Spark by Hilton Wuppertal
💡 Pre-book with Taxi Wuppertal (phone +49 202 444044) for a fixed rate. Avoid unmarked cabs at the airport—they charge up to 120 EUR.
Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) → Wuppertal Central Station (Hbf)
💡 Cheapest direct option from DUS. Book online in advance for the best price; standbys are pricier. The bus drops you directly at Hbf, then take a 5-minute tram ride on line 619 towards Vohwinkel to Hotel zur Post's nearest stop: Alter Markt.
Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) → Wuppertal Central Station (Hbf)
💡 Faster than the bus and more frequent. From DUS airport station (via the SkyTrain), catch the S8 toward Hagen or S28 toward Wuppertal. At Wuppertal Hbf, switch to Schwebebahn (line 60) heading towards Vohwinkel; get off at Werther Brücke, then a 3-minute walk to the hotel.
Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) → Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof
💡 Buy a VRR day ticket for €24.50 if you're doing local travel that day. Your Holiday Inn Express is a 5-minute flat walk from the Hauptbahnhof – exit north (Berliner Platz side).
Düsseldorf Airport Station → Auf dem Heiligen Berg
💡 Take S9 (via Düsseldorf Hbf) to Wuppertal Hbf, then bus 620 towards 'Am Kriegermal' – get off at 'Auf dem Heiligen Berg' stop. Avoid the Schwebebahn from the station as it doesn't run up the hill.
Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof (Kluse station) → Holiday Inn Express (Ohligsmühle station)
💡 The Schwebebahn is your best bet for local trips, but don't use it with heavy luggage – stairs and no lifts at Ohligsmühle. Walk from Hauptbahnhof instead: 7 minutes on foot, no hills.
Wuppertal Hbf (train station) → Hotel zur Post (Werther Brücke stop)
💡 The Schwebebahn is Wuppertal's iconic suspended monorail—worth riding even for a short trip. From Hbf, take line 60 toward Vohwinkel. Get off at Werther Brücke, cross the square, and you'll see Hotel zur Post on your right. Use the 'meinVRS' app for tickets; a single costs €3.20 but a day ticket (€8.40) is better if you're exploring.
Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof (Hbf) → Auf dem Heiligen Berg
💡 Ride the Schwebebahn one stop east to 'Vohwinkel' direction, then change to bus 640. But it's quicker to walk the 12 mins from Hbf to bus stop 'Rathaus Barmen' where you can catch bus 640 directly. Only use this route if you want the novelty of the hanging train.
Wuppertal Hbf (stop 'Hauptbahnhof') → Auf dem Heiligen Berg
💡 This is the most practical local option. The bus drops you right at the hotel entrance. Buy a BST-Ticket from the driver or the app. Late evening buses run only every 45 mins, so check the timetable in advance.
