Hockenheim is a town in Northern Baden-Württemberg. It also lies on the Bertha Benz Memorial Route.

Understand

The town is most well known for the nearby Hockenheimring motor racing circuit.

Get in

By train

• 1 Hockenheim station. Served by regional trains. This 1980s construction replaced the 19th century station when the Neubaustrecke was built.  

By car

Autobahn A6 passes just out of town.

Get around

You'll probably get around on foot. There are buses but they have few stops inside the town, don't come very frequent and only travel along the main street anyways, meaning that they aren't worth it for the regular traveller.

See

• 1 Hockenheimring. Motor racing course and motor sport museum  

Eat

There are plenty of local restaurants and shops here ranging from traditional German food to Italian food. There are also Döner Kebap stores. There's some fast food chains here as well.
