How to get to the venue

Bus and light rail 

To get to the conference venue by bus travel with Bus 200, Bus 18 or Bus 5A. All three busses stop near the conference venue. Tickets for travel within the city limits (Municipality of Aarhus limits) cost 22 DKK, but the special ECREA transport ticket covers travels with the light rail and bus during all conference days for 180 DKK. The special ticket does not cover transportation to/from the airport.  

The bus stops are located throughout Aarhus, making it easy to experience the city and get to the conference venue. To get to the conference venue’s west or south area stop at “Universitetsparken”. To get to the north or east area stop at “Aarhus Universitet (Ringgaden)”.  Remember to buy your ticket before entering Letbanen because you cannot buy tickets in the light rail train.

By walking  

To walk from the centre of the city to the university takes approximately 30 minutes. The entire city is clean, compact and well-organised, which makes walking an excellent and enjoyable way to get around. 
 

By cycling  

Denmark is an ideal country for cycling. There are not many (very) steep hills and there are many safe cycling paths. The trip up the hillside from Aarhus centre to the University might be a bit of a challenge. Urban conditions for cyclists are one of the best in the world and are constantly being improved. Look out for the special cyclists’ routes (cykelruter) and cycle paths (cykelstier). Rent a bike at e.g. Donkey Republic, a hotel or rent a recycled bike at Refurbish Bike. 
 

By taxi 

To book a taxi, please call this telephone number (+45) 8948 4848 or ask your hotel receptionist. There is also a taxi stand right outside the main exit of the train station and conveniently located taxi stands all over the city.
