HOW TO GET TO ESO & EUROfusion
The school venue can be easily reached with the U-Bahn (subway) U6. The U6 brings you directly to the centre of Garching (stop Garching) and to the School venue, (last stop, Forschungszentrum). Most of the hotels in Garching are centrally located near the U-Bahn, indicated with a large blue "U"-sign.
If you leave from Garching, please take the U6 destination "Garching Forschungszentrum" (Garching Research campus) to the last stop at either 07:46, 07:56 or 08:06 to reach ESO & EUROfusion on time. Exit the station at the rear end of the train and follow the sign for ESO.
