Braunschweig Wolfsburg Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended…

Braunschweig-Wolfsburg is a small regional airport at Waggum, in the Wabe-Schunter-Beberbach district, about 8 km north of central Braunschweig. There are no real hotels around the terminal: the most verifiable options are apartments run by small operators, some in the same district as the airport, others in the historic centre near Dankwarderode Castle and the Schlossarkaden. Travellers with a car can stay closer to the airport; those who want to visit the medieval Magniviertel district find more restaurants and shops, but need to rely on a taxi, since there are no verified direct buses to the terminal.
