Travel information
The workshop will be held at the University of Bayreuth. Bayreuth can easily be reached by public transportation (train or bus) or by car.
By car
Bayreuth is directly located at the highway A9, connecting München and Berlin. The exit “Bayreuth Süd” (exit 42) is close to the University. Follow directions to “Universität”.
By train
Direct connections to Bayreuth are from Nürnberg twice an hour. Some of the trains are split on the way, so be careful that you are in the right segment of the train. Participants travelling from the Berlin or Leipzig area should consider connection through Lichtenfels or Hof: DB site (in English) to find connections (http://www.bahn.de/i/view/USA/en/index.shtml).
By long-distance bus
From the Berlin area the fastest way to get to Bayreuth is typically by long-distance bus. Connections can be found on bus radar (https://www.busradar.com/), for example.
By plane
The closest airport to Bayreuth is located in Nürnberg (NUE) which is served from many major European airports (Zürich, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris). Connection from NUE to Bayreuth is by subway to Nürnberg main station and then to Bayreuth (see above). The ticket to Bayreuth can be purchased directly at NUE at the vending machine (on the right hand side as you leave the arrival area). The ticket price is EUR 10.80.
Larger airports in München (MUC) and Frankfurt (FRA) are about equal train travel time (3.5 hours) to Bayreuth, again connecting through Nürnberg. Train tickets are in the EUR 70 (FRA) and EUR 80 (MUC) range.
Within Bayreuth
The University is on the Southern end of town, approximately 15-20 minutes walking distance from the downtown area. Two bus lines run from the central city bus stop (ZOH) to the University: 304 and 306. 306 is the faster route. Locations of the oral (Computer Science building, AI) and poster sessions (Bayerisches Geoinstitut, BGI) are both adjacent to the bus stop “Uni-Verwaltung”, but it is often more convenient to use the bus stop “Mensa” instead and walk across Campus (see attached map).
