Public Transport operates well in Germany, allowing all visitors to get around easily and economically on buses, trams and trains. A Public transportation ticket for the Rhein Neckar region will be provided for free travel for all registered participants (show your tournament ID card). This will allow everyone to get around Heidelberg for free with ease without using your own vehicle.
