Internet connection is accessible on campus via Eduroam.
The most convenient way to reach the campus is the metro: indeed the metro stop Palermo Palazzo Reale Orleans is located at Ingresso Orleans on the map above.
The metro stops in the urban area are the following ones:
Palermo Centrale – Guadagna – Vespri (city hospital ) – Palazzo Reale Orleans (Campus, Viale delle Scienze) – Palermo Lolli – Palermo Notarbartolo – Francia – Palermo La Malfa
It is also possible to reach the campus by bus: for information on the schedule and the routes see Google Maps.
The registration fee includes a weekly pass, which is valid only on city buses and the metro in the urban area of Palermo (not valid to get to the airport or to take a taxi). The weekly pass need not be validated because it has your name and birthdate on it. It is valid from July 22 to July 28 but we can hand it to you when you register on campus starting from 8 am on July 23 in Building 7. The registration desk will be open during the whole conference.
We cannot offer you the first trip to the meeting. You can buy a single-ride metro ticket at vending machines in train stations, from the Trenitalia website (available also in English) or from the Trenitalia app. As for buses, you can purchase one ticket at tobacconists and newsstands, or from the App PalerMobilita.
You can ask your attendance certificate beginning the afternoon of July 24 unless you are leaving earlier.
