Travel suggestions
As the conference is on an island, the means of getting there are limited to two primary options, airplane or ferry.
Ferry
The ferry can be reached by taking a bus or a train from Stockholm's central station to the Nynäshamn port. Tickets for the bus can be booked in combination with the tickets for the ferry here. A train ticket can be booked here. The bus/ferry combination will take approximately 5 hours total, with the ferry taking three and a half hours and the bus taking about an hour. Taking the train can add up to an hour of waiting depending on how it is booked and when you arrive. Once you arrive at the port in Visby it is a short walk to Campus Gotland and the above noted hotels.
Flights
Flights to the Gotland airport primarily depart from the Bromma airport in Stockholm and the Arlanda airport. If you are flying internationally, you will likely prefer to book your flight from the Arlanda airport. The flights take less than an hour.

Taxi
You can book a taxi from the airport by calling +46498-200 200 or by visiting their website.
If you feel you need a bit of a walk, the airport is only located a few kilometers (4-5 km) from Visby and Campus Gotland. The walking paths between the airport and town are paved and well maintained.
Night Trains
Night trains leaving from Germany (Berlin and Hamburg) are run by SJ and Snälltåget. Tickets are often sold out, so try to book early.
