Travel and Public Transport

By Plane

While Bern International Airport (BRN) is closer, we recommend to also check for options via Zurich (ZRH) airport. A train in the underground of Zurich Airport will bring you to the main station in Bern within 1 ¼ hour.

By Train

A ticket for the train trip can be bought here. Train tickets in Switzerland are usually not bound to a certain train line and do not contain seat reservations, so you are flexible in selecting a train at no extra charge according to your ad-hoc needs. You can pre-order your ticket under this address, or buy it at the vending machines right at the train station itself:

Local Travel (in Bern)

Once you have arrived, the IBIS Styles will present you with the option for a day-pass for public transport. The Bus Line 28 and 19 will bring you directly to all three locations.

Hotel: Bus Stop Bern, Eigerplatz

National Library: Bus Stop Bern, Aegertenstrasse

BFH Marzili Campus: Bus Stop Bern, Monbijoubrücke

Evening Programme

Thursday

Friday

Given the long duration of the day, we will offer a relaxed dinner at the Kornhauskeller in Bern for those who have pre-booked it with their registration.

Saturday

The catering service of the BFH Marzilli Campus will prepare an Apero Riche for us directly at the venue, to enable further exchange and discussions for everyone who will not stay overnight in Bern.

Food Information

Of course, the reserved food options will be vegetarian by default and your registered food requirements have been duly noted.
