Accommodation
Milan is a city that caters to a wide range of visitors and it is relatively easy to find accommodation to suit your needs and budget. Milan’s public transportation system is also efficient and makes getting around the city a breeze.
While there are many options for accommodation, there is a huge computer vision conference (ECCV) happening the same week as our annual meeting, so we recommend booking your accommodation as soon as possible.
However, it is recommended that you choose a hotel or apartment close to the University of Milano Bicocca to reduce your commuting time. Staying within walking distance of the University or close to a stop of the metro line M5 is probably the most convenient.
