VENUE: Hotel Eger & Park (1-3 Szalloda St, Eger H-3300 Hungary)

Transport:
The hotel is located 142 km away from Budapest airport. Coaches are arranged on the first and last days of the meeting (3-4 buses with a capacity of 50+ passengers) to transport all participants in a 90-minute ride that will not incur extra costs for attendees. We encourage the use of trains instead of airplanes to get to Budapest/Eger (note that the same international train terminal in Budapest serves both the meeting location Eger and foreign countries including Austria and Germany, so transfer is easy). Regular bus connections are also available.

About the area:
Eger is a small medieval town with an attractive atmosphere, situated in a traditional vine region in Hungary. Participants can enjoy sightseeing (for example Eger Castle, Valley of the Beautiful Woman, Dobo Square, Basilica, Minaret), walking or running in Archbishop’s Garden, and hiking the nearby North Hungarian Mountains of the Inner Western Carpathians.
