Arrival information

By plane at Leipzig-Halle airport

After arrival at the airport, look for signs to the airport train station. If you feel it's a long walk - then you are on the right track! Direct trains to the main station ("Hauptbahnhof") in the city center run every 30 minutes.

You can buy your ticket either at a ticket counter (still in the airport building) just before you move down to the tracks, or downstairs at a ticket machine. Tickets for the regional trains ("RE") are also valid for changing to the tram at Hauptbahnhof (at least within the city limits). Long distance trains ("IC"), which also every now and then connect the airport with the main train station, require a special, much more expensive ticket (which furthermore is not valid on the trams from Hauptbahnhof).

For directions how to get from the main train station to the conference site, read on.

By train at Leipzig main station

From the main train station ("Hauptbahnhof", number 1 on the map below) take the tram no. 15 in direction "Meusdorf". After a 7 minutes ride get off at the fourth stop ("Ostplatz", number 1 on the map). From there it is a short walk to the conference site ("Linnéstr. 5", number 3 on the map).

With only four stops, you can take a "short-ride ticket" ("Kurzstrecke") or just use your RE train ticket from the airport. General information on the Leipzig public transportation system and schedules of tram and bus lines can be found here.
