At Kiel Main Railway Station (Hauptbahnhof) take the bus Number 41 (to Tannenberg) or Number 42 (to Suchsdorf) and get off at the bus stop named Institut für Weltwirtschaft (Institute for the World Economy). The ride will take about 12 minutes.
Follow the street for 50m keeping the fjord to your right until you see the front of the ZBW building.
By taxi
A taxi ride from Kiel Main Railway Station (Hauptbahnhof)
to the ZBW takes around 7 minutes.
By foot
You can reach the ZBW by foot from the Main Railway Station (Hauptbahnhof) in around 45 minutes. Essentially, you exit the station towards the waterfront (fjord), turn left and keep walking along the fjord until you reach the ZBW.
By car
The autobahn A215 Hamburg-Kiel ends at Westring (1st traffic light). Drive straight ahead (on Schützenwall) and follow the signs saying Zentrum-Fähren. After approx. 2.3km (6th traffic light, you are at the Exerzierplatz parking lot), turn right and drive to the waterfront (0.6km). Turn left into Kaistrasse and keep going. It changes its name to Düsternbrooker Weg. Continue straight ahead until you reach the ZBW.
