Travel and Accommodation

There are many hotels in walking distance.
We have not reserved rooms in any particular hotel. But for everybody who wants to stay in the same hotel, we recommend the Novotel Erlangen.
It is within walking distance of the train station (1 km), but can also easily reached by bus.

We recommend arrival at Erlangen train station.
The closest airport is Nuremberg (NUE). If you arrive between roughly 5:00 AM and 11:00 PM, you can take bus 30 to Erlangen, which takes about 30 minutes. Otherwise, a taxi / Uber / Bolt is the best option.

If you arrive by car, you can use the small parking lot right in front of the building.
Access is restricted - so please call Florian (+4915205321277, phone or WhatsApp) a few minutes before you arrive to be let in.
