Düsseldorf Airport (DUS)
Take the regional train to Aachen, get off at Düsseldorf-Benrath. From there you can easily take the bus to Monheim.
Cologne/Bonn Airport (CGN)
Take the regional train (RB 27) in the direction of Minden or the S19 in direction of Düren, get off at Cologne Trade Fair (Köln Messe/Deutz). From there you can take the S6 to Essen and get off at Langenfeld. Here the bus is already waiting to take you to the city centre of Monheim.
Bicycle
Although all the venues are within walking distance, it can be practical, especially during a longer stay, to explore the most beautiful places in Monheim by bicycle or to take a bicycle tour along the Rhine promenade. Tip: Discover Monheim
