Useful information

1. HOW TO GET TO CERN USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Coming from Geneva’s main train station (Cornavin)

Take the tram number 14 or 16 in the direction of Meyrin-Graviere, get off the tram at Vaudagne. From Vaudagne, take the number 56 bus marked with its terminus as CERN. The ticket costs 3.00CHF or  2.00EUR (Ticket "Tout Genève" on the ticket machine). See Transport Publics Genevois web site for full details.

Coming from Geneva airport

The easiest (i.e. direct) way is to take the bus letter Y from outside the airport in the direction Val Thoiry. The stop to get off at is CERN.

Unfortunately, the bus Y is not the most regular of services. If there seems to be a long wait, then the best option is to take the number 10 bus from the airport to Bouchet and change for either tram number 14 or 16. Then continue as above, changing at Vaudagne for the bus 56 to CERN.

NOTE: The International Airport of Geneva is offering all arriving passengers a free "Tout Geneve" ticket, which is valid for 80 minutes. This ticket is available from the automatic ticket machine situated in the baggage reclaim area and permits you to use public transport in the city of Geneva on the day of your arrival only, and must be accompanied by your boarding pass.

More information on this can be found at the airport website, including a pdf containing all you need to know about the free ticket.

In addition, if you are staying in a Geneva Hotel (not the CERN hostel) you are entitled to a Geneva Transport card which will guarantee you free public transport in Geneva for the duration of your stay.

Some further indications about coming to CERN can be found at:

 
It is also possible to take a taxi from Geneva airport to CERN (Gate B).  Cost is about 50 CHF (depending on the time and the number of luggage).
