HOW TO REACH TRENTO
By Plane
There is no airport in Trento, so if you come by plane, you should
fly either to Verona (90 Km from Trento) or Venice (160 Km). The
airports in Milan , Innsbruck or perhaps also Munich are
other sensible options.
From Verona Catullo Airport it takes about 10 minutes
by bus to reach the train station Verona Porta Nuova. There is a bus
approximately every 20 minutes.
From Verona to Trento it takes about 1 hour and there
are more than 20 trains per day.
If you rent a car at the airport,
you can drive to Trento along the Autostrada (highway) A22, arriving
in less than an hour.
From Venezia
Marco Polo Airport there are buses to the train station
Venezia-Mestre. From Mestre to Trento it takes from 2h 15m to 3h,
depending on the type of trains (either via Verona or
via Valsugana) and there are approximately 20 trains per day.
At the Milano Malpensa Airport there is a bus every 30 minutes to
Milano Centrale. It takes about 45 minutes, and then about 3 hours by train
to Trento.
By train
Trento is one of the main stations along the south-north connection
from Verona
to Innsbruck and Munich. See the official web sites of
FS-Trenitalia
or Deutsche
Bahn . If the train you are going to travel with is an IC
(Intercity) or EC (Eurocity) an extra-charge,
called "supplemento rapido", is due in addition to the price of
the ticket. For ES (Eurostar) trains you must
also reserve a place in advance.
By car
Traveling by car you might find convenient to drive through highway
A22 ("Autostrada del Brennero"). This is the highway from Modena to
Brennero. The two exits Trento Centro and Trento Nord are both OK. A
toll is due on the Autostrada. Just outside the highway follow the
indications for "Trento centro".
Once you're in town
The conference site and all hotels, except Hotel Adige, are in
Trento downtown. If you have a car, just park it at your hotel. Then
walk or use public buses. The town has an efficient urban travel
system run by Trentino
Trasporti. If you visit the Trentino Trasporti
office at the main railway station, you can pick up a free timetable
"Guida ai trasporti del Trentino". Bus tickets cost 0.80 euro each and
can be bought at the railway station or at any "Tabacchi" or newspaper
shops. Taxis can
be hailed from anywhere in town or booked through the phone (+39 0461 930002).
