Venue
Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) - Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (LNS)
via S.Sofia 62, 95123 Catania, ITALY
Travel information
From Catania "Fontanarossa" Airport, the most convenient and fastest way to reach the venue is by taxi. The taxis which are waiting outside the airport terminal will charge you according to the taximeter. If you prefer a flat rate, please contact Radiotaxi, which offers a fixed-rate service to LNS for €30.
If you plan to go to your hotel first and are staying in downtown Catania, you can take the Alibus shuttle bus from the airport. It connects the airport with the city center and main train station. From the city center you can reach the LNS by public transportation, by using either the BRT bus or the metro.
Accomodations
The LNS guesthouse is currently unavailable. The recommendation is to book one of the countless hotels or B&Bs in the Villa Bellini area, which is fully downtown and conveniently connected to the LNS via the BRT bus and the metro.
