Getting to Rostock

Frankly: The travel to Rostock part is a bit exhausting. But it is worth the effort! Ask former speakers and they'll tell you how much fun it is there. Take the chance to visit a part of Germany you would hardly otherwise recognize.

By Plane

For the lucky once with access to a corporate jet: There is a nice airport in Rostock where even Air Force One has landed (G7 summit a couple of year ago). Have a look at www.rostock-airport.de

For those of us who still have to fly commercial (;-)): Don't look for flights to Rostock! Search for flights to Berlin (BER) or Hamburg (HAM) and take a train or a rental car (1-2 hour drive on the German Autobahn) to Rostock. You'll save yourself a lot of time and money. There are plenty of flights to Berlin and Hamburg.

By Train

Have a look at www.bahn.de and search for a connection to Rostock. Depending on your budget you can take different sorts of trains and maybe you have to change trains in Hamburg or Berlin. www.bahn.de is a good way of figuring out how to get there. Traveling by train is a good way of getting to know Germany.

By Car

Please have a look at Google Maps: http://maps.google.de/maps?f=q&hl=de&geocode=&q=Radisson+Rostock

Once you are in Rostock

Rostock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rostock) is an easy to navigate city. Have a look at Google Maps before your trip and bookmark the local suburban train homepage (www.verkehrsverbund-warnow.de) and save the address of the Radisson Blue Hotel on the mobil device of your choice.
