Arrival and getting around
Your journey starts at the quay
Boat services to Borkum depart from Emden and Eemshaven in the Netherlands. Compare current AG EMS services for your travel date and allow plenty of time to reach the quay. Check luggage, bicycles, pets and, if needed, vehicle transport before booking. At the island harbour, the Borkum narrow-gauge railway connects the quay with the town.
Plan your journey with AG EMSGetting around the island
Walking and cycling suit many island journeys. Buses, the railway and taxis offer further options. Cars face seasonal restrictions in designated zones. Check the current rules and ask your accommodation about access and luggage transport. If you have specific mobility needs, arrange the details before travelling.
Transport and traffic rulesPlan the final leg before sailing
Keep your accommodation address and agreed check-in handy. Ask for the best route from station or harbour and about luggage transport when travelling with children, heavy bags or limited mobility. Match both journeys to your ferry or catamaran booking, allow time between connections and check last-minute changes with the operator.
