Directions
Getting to Girona
By car
The road network around Girona, which follows the ancient Roman roads, includes the main national motorways, connecting with France and the rest of the principality with the motorways AP-7 and A-2.
By train
Girona also has a good rail network. The high speed AVE line connects Girona with different cities in Spain and Europe, especially cities from France.
By air
Girona - Costa Brava Airport: This is the second most important in Barcelona area. It is located just 13 kilometers from Girona city, counting on regular bus and taxi service to the city center. There are many direct flights to Girona, particularly during the summer season (both domestic and international). However, the frequency is quite low compared to Barcelona.
Barcelona Airport: In the absence of flights to Girona Airport (or excessively time-consuming), traveling to Girona through Barcelona Airport is a very good option. Reaching Girona from Barcelona Airport is easy. From Barcelona Sants train station, high-speed rail (AVANT) can be taken to Girona train station, which takes about 38 minutes. There are also medium distance connections between Barcelona and Girona, though we strongly recommend prioritizing the high speed option since it is significantly faster and less prone to suffers from delays. Barcelona Sants station can be reached by metro from both Terminals 1 and 2 of the airport, and also by train from Terminal 2 (faster, but lower frequency).
Getting to the conference
Edifici Sant Domènec, Universitat de Girona, Plaça Ferrater i Móra, 1 Campus Barri Vell, 17004 Girona
Attenders should access the building from the entrance to the Faculty of Arts. The conference venue is at walking distane from the city center, e.g. 22 minutes from the train station, though most hotels are closer. The last metres to reach the campus are uphill and some straight routes from the city center to the faculty pass through stairs (about X steps). If conveninent, there are alternative routes to reach the destination by walking without stairs, and there is also a publicly available elevator here to skip the slope that will leave you next to the faculty.
There is also a local bus line with high frequency that stops next to the faculty.
