There are two train stations serviced by long-distance routes (ICE, IC) in the vicinity.  

► Bonn Central Station: this station is closest to the city centre. It is serviced by a several bus lines that run from their to our main venue, Campus Poppelsdorf.

► Siegburg/Bonn: this station is technically not in Bonn but in a neighbouring city. Especially if you are travelling from Frankfurt or Munich this stop may be more convenient. There is a metro link connecting Siegburg and Bonn (line 66) that runs every 20 minutes. Unfortunately, there is currently construction work on this route, and it will take longer than the usual 25 minutes to reach Bonn's city centre. 

If possible, please use public transport to get to the conference as parking space is limited. Pay-and-display parking is provided on the campus.

Please let us know at least two weeks before the conference if you need a parking ticket, as we will need to mail you a paper pass.
