Kassel's small but modern airport, 17km northwest of town, is mainly used for charter flights. In 2017 however, Aegean Airlines offers direct flights to Documenta partner city Athens twice per week.
The airport is about 25 minutes drive from central Kassel; a taxi costs around €25-30 and it's a good idea to prebook one for your arrival. Car rental at the airport is available via Avis, Europcar and Sixt. Free parking is available near the main terminal at P2.
NVV bus line 100 connects Kassel's Wilhelmshöhe station via Hauptbahnhof and Königsplatz; it runs every hour on weekdays between 06:13 and 17:33, and every two hours on weekends between 06:33 and 22:33. The ride takes 40 minutes and a single ticket costs €3.80.
