Travel information

Directions to Freiburg

General information on how to get to Freiburg can be found on the university's how to find us page. In a nutshell, there are high-speed train connections to Freiburg from Frankfurt airport (2 hours) and Zurich airport (2.5 hours), as well as a coach connection to Basle airport (1 hour). If coming from Zurich, make sure you take a train to Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany) and not Fribourg/Freiburg (Switzerland).

The conference locations are close to each other, and Freiburg is small enough, so that walking is probably the easiest solution to get from A to B. The city also has a pretty good public transport system, with four tram lines that serve the train station, the city centre, and the restaurant for Saturday's dinner.

The conference will take place at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS). It is located within easy walking distance from the city centre. Directions can be found on their website.
