For graduate students, we have reserved twin, triple and quadruple rooms in the hotel "Center Don Orione Artigianelli" and in the "Foresteria Valdese" .
Group Travel to Venice by Train
We have made reservations for a direct train to and from Venice, so that all participants from Munich can travel together to Venice. The train (EuroCity) leaves Munich Main Station on Sunday, September 22 at 11:33 am and will arrive in Venezia Santa Lucia at 6:25 pm.
The return train will leave Venice on Friday, September 27 at 1:35 pm and will reach Munich at 8:26 pm.
Travelling by Air
Several airlines offer flights to Marco Polo International Airport at Venice. Regular boats (e.g. ALILAGUNA) and shared watertaxis connect the airport to the city of Venice.
The nearest boat stops to the hotel "Don Orione Artigianelli" are Zattere and Accademia. From there, it is a 3 minute walk. The conference location San Servolo is reached by boat No. 20 from the stop San Zaccaria, close to the Piazza San Marco.
