Chauffeur's tipThe old town is largely closed to traffic; your chauffeur will drop you at the closest accessible point, often just a few steps from your hotel.
The route to the Danube
From Geneva Airport, your chauffeur heads along Lake Geneva on the Swiss A1 and across the plateau via Bern and Zurich. Near Schaffhausen the route crosses the border into Germany and continues on the A81 past Stuttgart, then the A6 east to Nuremberg. From there, the A3 crosses the Upper Palatinate hills to Regensburg, where you first see the cathedral towers above the Danube.
Arriving in Regensburg
Typical drop-offs are hotels in and around the old town, the main station, the university and the hospital campus to the south, industrial sites and business parks on the city outskirts, and private addresses in the surrounding districts. Hotels on the north bank in Stadtamhof, across the Stone Bridge, are reached by road from the other side, which the chauffeur knows. If you are continuing to Walhalla or Kelheim on the Danube, simply give that address instead and the transfer goes all the way.
Practical advice
With over six and a half hours of driving, a break around Nuremberg makes a good halfway point.
- Start early to arrive before the evening rush on the A3.
- Students arriving for a semester can use the van for up to 10 bags.
- Child seats are available on request.
- A chauffeur by the hour (minimum 2 h) can follow a schedule of local visits.
AirportsTransfers.ch meets you at Geneva arrivals with a name sign, and your return can be booked with the same order.
