Travel Information

Arriving by plane or train

The international airport code for Nuremberg is NUE. However, be aware of the fact that it isn't very well connected to the rest of the world, possbily making flights unneccessarily expensive. Frankfurt International (FRA) is probably a wiser option, as it has a much broader choice of airlines and flights than NUE does. There is a direct high-speed train connection between Frankfurt Airport and Nuremberg central station, allowing you to reach Eurofurence with a mere two stepovers, from plane to train and train to subway.

Nuernberg is, however, very good and afforadble connected to London-Stansted, which is probably quite interesting for our British guests.

Due to the central and easily reachable location, there will be no shuttle service for guests arriving by train or airplane. Please use public transport or take a taxi to the castle. A subway station as well as a city bus stop are in the immediate vicinity of the castle; an extensive description will follow in a while, as soon as we get to make pictures of the way to the convention site. For guests with excess luggage or disabilities, a limited-capacity shuttle will be made available. Please send your inquiries to shuttle@eurofurence.org.


Arriving by car

This year our location lies within the historic part of the city if Nuremberg. Because of that, we're in a special situation concerning parking space.

THERE ARE NO PARKING SPACES IN THE DIRECT VICINITY OF THE CON SITE.

We will provide you with a city map that shows you where you can safely park your car, so it will be very easy for you to find appropriate parking space. And you will of course be able to load and unload in front of the con site. However, For long-time parking, you must use a parking garage or otherwise legal parking space. Simply parking on the curb near the castle WILL get you towed, and we won't be able to help you if that happens. So please, follow our directions.

Here is a leaflet (PDF) for you about "Parking at Eurofurence" (English/German)

We are also currently working out the details of offering a Park and Ride solution. There is a Park and Ride lot in the vicinity where you could possibly park your car at affordable rates and transfer to the con site by a convention-operated shuttle. Details are to follow as soon as information becomes available.

There are public garages in the vicinity. See their official website for further information and pricing.


Finding the convention site

The official address of the con site is:

Jugendherberge Nürnberg
Burg 2
90402 Nürnberg

If you're feeling uneasy about finding your way to the consite, we suggest using the route planner provided by mapquest.

Directions to the Park and Ride locations and parking garages will be announced soon, we are currently working out the details.
