Travel & Accommodations
The SCSMI 2019 conference will take place at the main campus near the city center. The main campus is very well accessible by public transport: The airport is only a half hour ride away by local train and one of Hamburg’s three major train stations – “Dammtor” – is in walking distance from the conference venue. However, parking spaces are very limited and we recommend you take a car only if absolutely necessary.

Hamburg Airport (HAM) serves many European and several intercontinental destinations. Unfortunately, United Airlines have cancelled the nonstop connection Hamburg–New York just this fall, but transatlantic destinations may be reached quickly by connecting flights. If you’re on a tight budget, looking for nonstop flights or just planning to explore more of Germany anyway, it might be worth checking out other nearby airports and take the train to Hamburg: Bremen (BRE): from 80 min., Hannover (HAJ): from 90 min., Berlin Schönefeld (SXF): from 165 min., Berlin Tegel (TXL): from 120 min. (= train ride).
German Railways (Deutsche Bahn) also offer a number of international connections – e.g. from/to Amsterdam (5 hrs.), Copenhagen (5 hrs.), or Prague (6,5 hrs.) – that might be an alternative to flying. Check here: https://www.bahn.com/en/view/index.shtml
