Travel Information
Getting To Geneva
By AirGeneva's international airport is located in the North-West of the city centre at a transfer time of only 15-20 minutes. Geneva is extremely well connected as you can see on the Geneva Airport network page.
If you land at Zurich Airport, to reach Geneva you can either take the train (duration: ~3 hours) or book a local flight (duration: ~45 min).
By TrainSwitzerland's train network is of excellent standard. Thanks to its central location, Geneva is easily accessible by train, e.g. Paris (~3h30) or Milan (~3h50). Cornavin is the central station in the heart of the city with a non-stop connection to Geneva airport (8 min). You can find train connections and timetables on the SBB-CFF page. By Road![]() Thanks to the efficient road network throughout Switzerland and Europe, it is easy to get to Geneva by car. Note that a tax sticker, the so-called "vignette", is compulsory to drive on Swiss highways and semi-highways. The "vignette" is sold at customs, post offices and garages at the prize of 40 CHF. It is valid for 1 calendar year.
Moving in Town
Public TransportsUnireso stands for a group of 8 transport companies in Geneva and its region, including Geneva's public transports (TPG). The circuits represent more than 450 kilometres all around Geneva and into the near borders of the canton of Vaud and of France. The agreement between these companies makes it possible to travel with the same ticket on all the different transports (bus, tram, boat, train).
Visa information
The conditions for entry to Switzerland vary according to nationality. Please check with the Swiss embassy in your country (see the list of Swiss representations), what specific papers you personally need in order to participate at EWASS 2014 in Geneva. Please note that we can only give further support if you are registered to the conference properly. EWASS 2014 organisers cannot take responsibility for unsuccessful visa applications or intervene versus any decision made by the embassies on behalf of any delegates. |
