Hannover, the city of the EXPO 2000, is the capital of
Niedersachsen, one of the sixteen Federal States of Germany.
Germany itself is located in Central Europe.
If you come to the HAPTEX '05, why not stay some more
days to explore the city? There are many points of interest
in Hannover like the famous Herrenhäuser Gärten, the
Aegidienkirche, the old city hall, the
Hannover
Adventure Zoo and last but not least the
Welfenschloß (today the university), just to name a few. For
further information see
Hannover
Online.
Hannover has one of the most modern
international
airports in Europe.
The host of the HAPTEX '05 can be reached by direct
flight connections or via the international airport of
Frankfurt. Since Hannover is an important railroad junction
in Germany, you can easily reach us by train. Once you have
made it to Hannover, you can use the Üstra (public transport)
for comfortable transport within the city.
For your information we provide you with a map of the conference area in Hannover. You can also inform yourself about the public travel network plan which is available electronically.
After your arrival at Hannover airport, you may take a taxi to your hotel. The fee for the transfer should be about EUR 20.00 to EUR 25.00 if your hotel is located in the city centre, where the Leibnizhaus is located as well. Another possibility is to use the train line S5 from the airport directly to the central station.
In case your plane will arrive at another airport (e.g. Frankfurt), we recommend to take the high speed train ICE to Hannover central station. Please see your local travel agent for the best connections.
The Hannover Central Station is located in the city center, not far
away from the Leibnizhaus (about 10 minutes by foot).
Please take a look at the map
of the conference area. The german word for "Central Station"
is "Hauptbahnhof" (in the upper right corner).
If you travel by car, exit the highway A2 in Hannover-Herrenhausen and drive on B6 towards the city centre.
To help you finding a hotel, we prepared a small list of hotels which are either close to the conference area and/or have a reasonable pricing.
