Travel Information
Website
of Leipzig-Halle Airport
Arrival by Airplane at Leipzig-Halle airport:
After your arrival with airplane at Leipzig-Halle airport, go to the
airport train service and take the express train (called "FlughafenExpress")
to the city center of Leipzig. There are two stops, one at the big exhibition
hall ("Neuwiederitzsch / Neue Messe") and the other (yours!) in the city
center at the main train station ("Leipzig Hbf - Hauptbahnhof"), which
will be reached after about 15 min.
Arrival by Train at Leipzig main station
:
Outside the main train station of Leipzig ("Leipzig Hbf - Hauptbahnhof"),
there is a major tram stop. Since you will travel only one stop, you can
buy a "short distance single ticket" ("Kurzstrecke", 1.50 EUR) at an automat.
Take tram no. 4, 7, 10, 11, 12, 15, or 16 to "Augustusplatz" at the city
center. (With the main train station in your back, the proper direction
of the tram is to your left.) At your target stop you see the opera, the
"Gewandthaus", the city tower, and the main building of the University
(see right map below). General information on the Leipzig public transportation
system and schedules of tram and bus lines can be found at www.lvb.de.
Since this is really a short ride (only 2-3 minutes), you may want
to walk (ca. 15 minutes) instead of using the tram. Just walk from the
tram stops along Goethestraße, Ritterstraße or Nikolaistraße
into the city center to the conference site (see right map below).
After your arrival at the "Augustusplatz" with the main building of
the University in front of you, use the map on the Location
page for your oriantation to find the right building and room.
Arrival by Car:
You can reach Leipzig by car via autobahn A9 (Berlin - Nürnberg)
or A14 (Halle - Dresden), see left map below. In case you are on A9 coming
either from north or south to the interchange "Schkeudizer Kreuz", change
to A14 in direction Dresden. Leave the autobahn at the exit "Leipzig-Mitte".
Follow the B2 to the city center to the "Augustusplatz". There is an entrance
for underground parking at the "Augustusplatz".
