Rent a bike

A Blue-bike point offering bicycle rental at affordable rates is available within walking distance of the station. For more information and to see the number of bikes available, take a look on the Blue-bike website.

Park your bike securely

Park your trusty steed at one of your (covered) bicycle parking facilities. Take a look at our digital city map to find the nearest parking spot. Tyre gone flat? Our city map also shows the locations of our public bicycle pumps!

On foot

Our car-free inner city is fully geared towards pedestrians (and cyclists), so exploring Halle on foot is a pleasure. The city centre is just 1.5 km across, which means walking from the edge to the heart of the city takes no more than ten minutes from any direction.
