How to get to the Conference Site
Karlsruhe has an excellent public transportation network. You can also get around by taxi or car (see below), however.
If you stay in the city centre, taking the streetcar (tram) is highly recommended. During regular business hours a streetcar passes by every 2 to 10 minutes. Public transportation in Karlsruhe is managed by the local transport authority “Karlsruhe Verkehrsverbund KVV”, which means you can use the same kind of ticket for streetcars and buses. For more information, contact the KVV.
How to get from the Airports to Karlsruhe by train or car see here. More information and maps you will find at “Links” and “Downloads”.
