(either student accommodation or lecturer accommodation), please contact us immediately at
esslli2008@science.uva.nl.
Arrival at the airport.
Taxi. The easiest, but most expensive way to get to the ESSLLI site from the airport is
the taxi. There is a taxi rank right in front of the terminal building, and the trip should cost about € 20.
When you enter the taxi, tell the taxi driver that you want to go to the main building of the university
("Universitätshauptgebäude"). The street address is Edmund-Siemers-Allee 1. The trip takes
between 15 and 25 minutes, depending on traffic.
Public Transport. Right next to the taxi rank, there is a bus
stop. Take the bus of the line 110 and ask for a ticket to
Dammtor. The ticket is € 2.60. Line 110 buses run every
10 minutes until 11pm, and much less frequently after that. You take the
bus to its final stop, called U Ohlsdorf (about 10 minutes) and
enter the station. Look for the S-Bahn lines S1 and S11. S11 goes
directly to Dammtor, if you catch an S1, you'll have to change at
Hauptbahnhof into an S11, S21, or S31 train.
At Dammtor, follow the signs to the university. In front of the
station, turn left and walk about 200 m along Edmund-Siemers-Allee.
Then you'll see a large university building
on your right with an ESSLLI banner. This is the ESSLLI site.
Arrival by train.
The central railway station of Hamburg is called Hauptbahnhof,
the one closest to the ESSLLI site is Bahnhof Dammtor. Most trains
stop at both stations, so it would be convient to buy your ticket to
Dammtor which is the next stop after Hauptbahnhof. In case
your train does not stop at Dammtor, you can take a suburban train
("S-Bahn") from Hauptbahnhof to Dammtor, but you need
an extra ticket for this (€ 1.30, to be bought at a machine before
you go on the platform).
At Dammtor, follow the signs to the university. In front of the
station, turn left and walk about 200 m along Edmund-Siemers-Allee.
Then you'll see a large university building
on your right with an ESSLLI banner. This is the ESSLLI site.
Arrival by bus.
You'll for instance arrive by bus if you fly to Lübeck Airport and take the shuttle bus for € 8. Bus
arrival is at the central bus station (ZOB) which is located across the street from the central railway station
(Hauptbahnhof). If you arrive here, you have two options: either you walk across the street to
Hauptbahnhof and follow the above directions (i.e., buy a € 1.30 ticket for the S-Bahn and go
to Dammtor station; or you take the bus number 5 (pay € 1.30 to the driver) to Dammtor station.
The bus will drop you off right in front of the station building and takes about 14 minutes.
