Centrally located in the Allgäu, Kempten is the perfect starting point for excursions and exploration tours in the region. It doesn’t matter whether you prefer to use your own car, car sharing or a hire car, or even travel by public transport in Kempten to get to all the Allgäu’s sights. We show you the various different ways and how to use them.
Public transport & central bus stop
Public transport in Kempten is an environmentally friendly alternative to travelling by car. The bus connections within the boundaries of the Kempten town and the nearby hinterland are well-established. The ZUM – Kempten’s central bus station is easily reached on foot from the Tourist Information Centre.
It is the hub for all urban and regional buses that pass through Kempten. You can actually access almost all bus lines in Kempten at the ZUM. The customer service centre for questions related to public transport is also stationed here.
Bus connections & mona Allgäu
The ‘mona Allgäu (Mobilitätsgesellschaft Allgäu)’ website can inform you about bus connections and ticket costs. You can take a look at bus stops, bus connections and schedules online, and download them for free.
There is also a separate bus schedule for all connections from Kempten’s main station to the central bus station ZUM and also connections to the Kempten town centre available on the ‘mona Allgäu’ website.
If you don't want to travel directly to the city centre, you can use the R7 and R8 ring bus routes, which run every 20 minutes from Monday to Friday during the day.
