Getting There

Situated 25 kilometers north-east of Zurich, Winterthur is Switzerland’s sixth largest city and offers a rich cultural life as well as excellent travel connections in all directions. It is located near Zurich’s international airport, which is only 13 minutes away by train or 20 minutes by car.

How Do I Travel To The Venue?

The main building of the university (the “Volkartgebäude”) is next to the train station and can be reached on foot in 2 minutes.

Arrival By Train

We recommend travelling by train to Winterthur train station. The venue can be reached via a direct connection from Zurich main station.

Arrival By Car

Thanks to the excellent public transportation network and limited public car parking in the city of Winterthur, we advise against travelling to the conference by private car. However, there are various public car parking spaces in the city of Winterthur.

Arrival By Plane

Winterthur can be reached from Zurich Airport in 13 minutes by train. We strongly recommend not to take a taxi, but to take one of the 10 trains per hour going from Zurich Airport to Winterthur.

Accommodation

We recommend you register as soon as possible and book your accommodation early, as rates tend to increase over time. There is a variety of hotels in Winterthur available. We can offer DAWO rates at two hotels conveniently located within walking distance of the venue.
