How to get there

The venue, MedCampus 1 of the JKU Linz Faculty of Medicine, is located near the city center of Linz. Linz has many different mobility options and we encourage you to take advantage of them.

By foot

You can reach the location on foot within half an hour from Linz main station.

Via public transport

The trolleybus number 12 (direction Karlhof) will take you to Gruberstraße station within 12 minutes, from where it is only a five-minute walk to the venue. When you leave the main building, you can reach the bus station Hauptbahnhof by walking straight across the crosswalk, through which two lion statues are walking straight out. After one minute you are directly at the bus station. Tickets are available from ticket machines or here.

Via bike or scooter

If you want to get around by bike during the workshop, there are more than 40 rental stations in the city center. Linz City Bikes can be rented and returned. The first 30 minutes of use are free of charge every day. Unlocking the bikes for use and billing the time used is very easy via an app. You can find more information here.

Like bikes, there is also a wide range of e-scooters in Linz. Use requires registration and usually the deposit of a credit card in the app. The app shows where free scooters are available. There are several providers and the costs vary.
