[[Enschede railway station|Enschede]] is a terminus [[railway station|station]] of the [[Nederlandse Spoorwegen]] (NS) [[railway]] lines from the west. Trains operate to [[Hengelo railway station|Hengelo]], [[Almelo railway station|Almelo]], [[Zwolle railway station|Zwolle]], [[Deventer railway station|Deventer]], [[Apeldoorn railway station|Apeldoorn]], [[Amersfoort Centraal railway station|Amersfoort Centraal]], [[Hilversum railway station|Hilversum]], [[Amsterdam Zuid railway station|Amsterdam Zuid]], [[Schiphol Airport railway station|Schiphol Airport]], [[Utrecht Centraal railway station|Utrecht Centraal]] and [[Den Haag Centraal railway station|Den Haag Centraal]].

To the east there is a line to [[Gronau, North Rhine-Westphalia|Gronau]], [[Germany]], which has two more stations in the Netherlands: [[Enschede De Eschmarke railway station|Enschede De Eschmarke]] and [[Glanerbrug railway station|Glanerbrug]]. The latter two have low ridership.{{citation needed|date=September 2019}} The line is served by [[DB Regionalbahn Westfalen]] (part of the [[Germany|German]] [[Deutsche Bahn]]), to [[Münster]] and to [[Dortmund]], each on an hourly interval and alternating half-hours in the service to [[Gronau, North Rhine-Westphalia|Gronau]].

There is no track connection between the two systems. The through line had been retained for eventual [[NATO]] use during the [[Cold War]] even after through passenger service was ended (September 1981), although it was in serious disrepair in later years. With the renewal of service to Germany (May 2001) the track was severed; there is a gap of about 30 centimeters between them<ref>[http://www.et.fh-muenster.de/eisenbahn/Gronau_Enschede.html] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080622042942/http://www.et.fh-muenster.de/eisenbahn/Gronau_Enschede.html|date=22 June 2008}}</ref> which means that Enschede is now a "double terminus station" with tracks to the West (the Netherlands) and to the East (Germany) but with no connection between them.

There is also [[Enschede Kennispark railway station]], near the football stadium.

There is a network of bus lines connecting nearly every part of the city with the centre. Enschede also has bus connections to nearby towns and cities, like [[Hengelo]], [[Oldenzaal]] and south towards [[Haaksbergen]], [[Neede]] and [[Eibergen]]. Since 10 December 2023 the bus lines are operated by [[Arriva]], under the [[RRReis]] brand.

=== Air ===
Previously, Enschede had a combined regional civil airport, [[Enschede Airport Twente|Enschede Airport]], and Airbase Twenthe of the [[Royal Netherlands Air Force]]. The latter was closed in 2007; the former was closed in 2008. However, it remains in operation for business air traffic flying via a charter or private jet, and recreational flights.<ref>{{cite web |title=Vliegen |url=https://www.twente-airport.nl/vliegen/ |access-date=2022-01-28 |website=www.twente-airport.nl |archive-date=2022-01-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220128133120/https://www.twente-airport.nl/vliegen/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Roads ===
Around the center districts of Enschede is a complete ring road with a length of approximately 8&nbsp;km, which is popularly called "de singel". This was constructed in the period between 1916 and 1929.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-10-31 |title=Singels van Enschede – Architectuurgids Enschede – Enschede, stad van nu |url=http://www.architectuurgidsenschede.nl/objects/object00000056/ |access-date=2022-05-18 |website=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181031005324/http://www.architectuurgidsenschede.nl/objects/object00000056/ |archive-date=31 October 2018 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Most major arterial roads connect to the canal. Enschede is connected to the national road network by means of the [[Rijksweg 35|A/N35]] and the [[A15 motorway (Netherlands)|N18]]. Below and on the edge of the center are various parking facilities, the most famous and largest of which is the Van Heekgarage, which is located under the Van Heekplein. At the end of 2012, construction of an additional entrance and exit at Kuipersdijk was started as the South entrance. Van Heekgarage is the largest underground parking garage in the Netherlands with a capacity of 1650 cars.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2008-04-20 |title=Enschede – Van Heekgarage |url=http://www.parkereninenschede.nl/parkeergarages/00002/ |access-date=2022-05-18 |website=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080420194231/http://www.parkereninenschede.nl/parkeergarages/00002/ |archive-date=20 April 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
