ENTRY-REGULATIONS
Coming from abroad, please check with your travel agent or local
emigration authorities on whether a (valid) passport, tourist card
or visa is necessary for residents of your country to visit Germany.
COLOGNE
Cologne, a well-known city by the Rhine river in the western part of
Germany with 2000 years of history, offers a variety of attractions.
Besides the Romanesque churches, the Altstadt (Old Town), and the many
museums, the Cologne Cathedral is a perfect example of the High Gothic
style of all the world's large churches. Although the city conveys
the cosmopolitan touch, romantic nooks and crannies may be found at
every turn. The many pubs, bars, and ale-houses provide a friendly and
comfortable atmosphere.
GET-TOGETHER AND CHECK-IN
An informal get-together will take place on Sunday, June 16, from 7.00
to 9.00 p.m. at the Queens Hotel. The conference registration desk
will also be open at this time for participants to pick up their
conference material as well as helpful local information.
OTHER SOCIAL EVENTS
In the evening of Monday, June 17, there will be a reception for all
participants and accompanying persons in the city hall of Cologne.
On Wednesday afternoon, June 19, a guided tour through Cologne will be
organized, including a visit to the Cologne Cathedral and to one of the
city's famous museums. That evening the conference dinner will be held
at the Botanical Gardens, called Flora, for which all participants and
guests are invited to purchase tickets.
HOW TO TRAVEL TO COLOGNE
By air: - via Cologne/Bonn airport. From
the airport you may take a taxi to your hotel (fare about
DM 40). Buses to the city center leave every 20 minutes
(Bus No. 170, fare DM 3.60). From the city center, you should take
a taxi to your hotel (fare about DM 10).
- via Duesseldorf airport. The suggested and most convenient
way to Cologne Central Railway Station (in the city center)
is the Lufthansa Airport Express.
By train: There are direct train connections between Cologne and all
major European cities.
By car: Several motorways, namely A1, A3, and A4, run into the Cologne
motorway ring (see map). The
Queens Hotel, providing about 100 parking spaces, can be easily
reached by leaving the motorway A1 at exit 'Koeln-Loevenich'
(see map).
WEATHER
For the conference, we have ordered pleasant, sunny and dry weather with
average temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius during the day. But be
prepared in any case for our normal weather -- rain every other day.
