Public transport

Leipzig has a very good system of public transport. On the website of the LVB (Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe) you can check which trams/buses you need to take to get to specific places or print out the schedule for the stop nearest to your house/hotel.
Tickets are sold from vending machines at some tram stops, and also from booths on the Augustusplatz and in front of the train station. Tickets need to be stamped in the little orange boxes on the trams/buses when you get on.
The tram stop closest to the Max Planck Institute is the "Deutsche Bücherei", and two tram lines pass: 16 and 2, though stopping on different corners.

 

Accommodation

Participants (with exception of the invited speakers) are asked to arrange for their accommodation themselves.
Participants of LSSLD can extend their stay in the guest houses for the duration of the Rara Conference.

We arranged special prices with four local Hotels. They offer a special price reduction for conference participants for the days between March 28 and April 2, 2006. All prices include breakfast. In order to get the price indicated, please mention the Booking Code we will give you.
