Arrival by car
From the north: Take the A3 via Heumarer Dreieck, then the A59, which continues as the B42 to Bad Honnef. Take the Rhöndorf exit, and follow Rhöndorfer Straße, which becomes Hauptstraße (approx. 2 km). The Physikzentrum is located on the left-hand side, at the corner of Meßbeuel.
From the south: Take the A3 Frankfurt–Cologne, exit at Bad Honnef–Linz, and drive through Schmelztal to Bad Honnef. Follow the main road until you reach a sharp left turn, then immediately turn right (onto Am Saynschen Hof). Follow this priority road for approximately 1.5 km. The Physikzentrum Bad Honnef will be on the right-hand side.

From Cologne or from the direction of Koblenz (right side of the Rhine), take a train to the stop Rhöndorf.
From Frankfurt, you can either take an ICE train to Siegburg, then transfer in Troisdorf and continue to Rhöndorf (right side of the Rhine), or travel via Koblenz to Rhöndorf — often a cheaper option with a similar journey time.
