How to get here
The city of Mainz has a main station and a number of other rail stations. The easiest way to get to the Campus of JGU is to alight at the main station and to then take a bus or tram.
The following lines serve the university from the main station:
- 6 (towards Münchfeld/Gonsenheim)
- 51 (towards Lerchenberg)
- 53 (towards Lerchenberg)
- 54 (towards Klein-Winternheim)
- 55 (towards Finthen)
- 56 (towards Finthen/Wackernheim)
- 57 (towards Bretzenheim)
- 59 (towards Hochschule Mainz)
- 64 (towards Hartenberg)
- 65 (towards Hartenberg)
- 68 (towards Budenheim)
- 75 (towards Schwabenheim/Ingelheim)
- 90 (towards Finthen)
- 91 (towards Lerchenberg)
- 650 (towards Sprendlingen)
We would recommend using the tram lines 51, 53, and 59, all of which stop directly at the main entrance to the campus (see "Universität I" bus stop). Public transportation can also be accessed via Google Maps.
For the journey from the Mainz main station to the Universität stop, you can buy a short hop ticket known as a "Kurzstrecken-Ticket" in German. It is cheaper than a normal ticket and can be purchased from a ticket machine at the bus stop or a ticket machine in the tram (bus drivers do not sell tickets). Please note that you can only buy tickets cashless with EC card, credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or via the MVG ticket app. You can find additional information online on the website of the Mainz public transport operator, the Mainzer Verkehrsgesellschaft.

Entrance is only possible at the main gate of the university (on the map called "Zufahrt zur Hauptpforte" via Ackermannweg on the left side).
