Accommodation

The University of Halmstad is situated at 1.9 km from the city center, and the train station is in between. Suggested hotels are either in the city center or near the train station. Therefore, the main places of interest for ICB attendees can be reached even by walk. The University is also communicated to the city center directly by bus (4 stops), and there is also taxi services around the clock which can also be booked online. Please visit the Venue section for more information on local transport.
