U-Bahn line U2 connects Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof (Main Station) and Nürnberg Flughafen (Airport) in 12 minutes. The U-Bahn runs up to 6 times per hour from around 4 am to past midnight. Tarifstufe 2 (Tariff Zone 2) tickets are required – currently €1.90 (US$ 2.80).
- Long distance trains do not stop at Nürnberg Airport – change at the Hauptbahnhof to U-Bahn U2.

- Taxis from the Hauptbahnhof and old town area take around 15 minutes (€16 / US$24).
Alternative German airports to Nürnberg include Frankfurt International Airport (FRA) and Munich Airport (MUC). When entering Germany at one of these airports, it is generally better to continue by train to Nuremberg unless the connecting flight is included in the original ticket.
