journey there
The drive, trip, or flight to a specific destination, for example on holiday or to an event.
Die Anreise zum Hotel dauerte wegen des Staus länger als geplant.
The journey to the hotel took longer than planned because of the traffic jam.
'Anreise' consists of the prefix 'an-' and the noun 'Reise' (journey). The prefix 'an-' here expresses movement toward a destination. So it is the journey to the place of arrival.
Bitte teilen Sie uns Ihre geplante Zeit für die Anreise mit.
Please let us know your planned time for the journey there.
'Die Anreise' is the corresponding noun for the separable verb 'anreisen' (to arrive / to travel there). When people 'anreisen', they make the 'Anreise'.
Die meisten Gäste reisen am Samstag an.
Most guests arrive on Saturday.
This word is used very often in tourism and when organizing travel. A typical piece of information in hotels is, for example: 'Anreise ab 15:00 Uhr möglich' (check-in / arrival possible from 3:00 p.m.).
Die Anreise mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln wird empfohlen.
Traveling there by public transport is recommended.
The prefix 'an-' (toward) often forms an opposite to the prefix 'ab-' (away from). The corresponding counterpart to 'die Anreise' (arrival journey) is therefore 'die Abreise' (departure).
Die Anreise war unkompliziert, aber die Abreise war chaotisch.
The journey there was uncomplicated, but the departure was chaotic.
journey / approach
Anreise covers the journey to a destination, including travel over a longer distance or by plane. Anfahrt focuses more on the route or drive to a specific place. Anreise is therefore suitable for the entire journey, while Anfahrt is usually used for the local drive there.

The journey to the hotel took almost ten hours because of the long flight.
Die Anfahrt vom Flughafen zum Hotel dauerte wegen des Verkehrs fast eine Stunde.
