Hahn is in the middle of nowhere! Typical for Ryanair to call it Frankfurt as it takes you a bit to get to Frankfurt.

Try www.hrs.de ... I always use them myself. Most half decent hotels are obviously gone by now, but the Stadthotel am Wasen (85 � for a double) looks good. It�s about a 10 minute walk to the stadium and a taxi to town won�t be more than 10-15 � ... there�s a tube station right at the hotel, as well.

If you�re still looking for tickets, try ebay. The prices are still face value + a tenner and I expect them shoot up any minute once people here realize there�s life after the WC.

Stanstead to baden-baden is �125stg return saturday to sunday, just another option, depends how long you want to go over there for and how much flights to stanstead are... and hotels can still be had for between 35 - 50 yoyo's per night

**Soko** · 03/07/2006, 10:34 PM

Half decent prices can still be had, just booked hotel for �60 each 2 nights and flights through Berlin - it is preferable for us - �160. Match tickets bring it to only �250+ and not done the early bird way.

Yeah you have to select a specific train and at the cheapest price avaliability is limited...but they are there.."sparpreis 50" is the cheap one..if its sold out try a later/earlier train

**galwayhoop** · 04/07/2006, 8:51 AM

does anyone know how much taxi's cost in germany.

we're arriving into baden-baden at about 8pm on friday - don't want to waste time gettin to train station and then paying for train. theres 4 of us so i reckon a taxi cant be mor than �60 each (250 for the trip.). i think it's about 60 miles to stuttgart from baden baden.

for paris we flew into chareoli (aka brusselles) and got train to paris but it ended up costing us about �100 ea and taxi quoted us �300 for 6 but we had already paid for train!!
