Campus Location and Transportation: Easy Access to a Medieval Old Town
Landshut University of Applied Sciences is located in the medieval old town of Landshut on the banks of the Isar River—a city founded in 1204 and known for St. Martin’s Church, Trausnitz Castle, and the medieval festival “Landshut Wedding,” which takes place every four years. The campus is located on the outskirts of the city and is extremely well-served by public transportation: Take bus No. 3 or 4 from Landshut’s main train station or the Old Town—buses run approximately every 30 minutes—for a direct ride to the “Hochschule” stop. The campus is also about a 10-minute walk from the train station. With the countryside and mountains just a short distance away, the campus offers both the conveniences of city life and the joys of nature.
