Göttingen is located on the important north - south route from Hamburg to Frankfurt/München and therefore also has very good connections with the ICE (a very comfortable high speed train). From Frankfurt and Hannover there is an ICE departure to Göttingen about twice every hour. From Frankfurt to Göttingen it will take you about 2 hours, from Hannover only 34 minutes. Make sure you book your ticket early (several weeks in advance) to get attractive discounts on ICE tickets (often more than 50% off). Scattered between the departures of the ICEs, "Regionalexpress" trains are slower but cheaper options. A Regionalexpress from Hannover to Göttingen takes about 1 hour 15 minutes. A Regionalexpress from Frankfurt a.M. to Göttingen takes about 3 hours 20 minutes.
On Saturdays and Sundays you can buy a so-called "Wochenendticket". This allows 5 persons to travel with "Regionalexpress" trains as far as they like. The price for 5 persons is 39 EUROS. This is a good choice if you travel with friends. When buying your ticket you should inquire about special fares, as there are always special offers.
