 Venue The 10th International Symposium on NeuroVirology will be held in beautiful and historic Milan, which is located in northern Italy. The meeting will be held on the grounds of the University of Milan. The Symposium and Conference will take place in the Main Hall (Aula Magna) on the campus of the University of Milan in via Festa del Perdono 7, 20122 Milan.
The meeting venue is very close to downtown Milan and is within walking distance of the Duomo (cathedral) in the heart of the city. The safe and clean public transportation system can be used to travel around the city. The Piazza Missori stop on the Yellow Line (Linea 3) is the closest subway stop to the University campus. The Piazza Duomo stop on the Red Line (Linea 1) is also convenient for travel around the city by subway. There are also several bus and trolley lines that have stops close to the meeting venue. Getting to Milan Arriving by air For meeting participants who will be arriving by air, three major airports serve the Milan area. Because of its proximity to Milan, Linate Airport is the recommended arrival point. Linate Airport is approximately 8 km (5 mi) east of Milan. Flights into Linate Airport from all major cities are available. Bus service from the airport to the city (approximately €1) is available as part of the ATM (public transportation system). Bus #73 leaves from just outside the arrival area and stops downtown at San Babila Square, which is within walking distance of the University and Duomo. The University and nearby hotels are also only 15-30 minutes away by taxi (approximately €25-30). Malpensa Airport, which is located 40 km (25 mi) northwest of Milan, is approximately one hour away. From Malpensa, two travel options are available. The Malpensa Shuttle bus departs Terminal 1 (the international terminal) every 20 minutes and arrives at the Milan Central Station (Stazione Centrale). A one-way ticket costs €7. The University can then be reached from the Central Station by the subway (€1) on the Yellow Line (Linea 3), or by taxi (approximately €20-25). Alternatively, the Malpensa Express (€11 for a one-way ticket) departs every 30 minutes from the train station inside Terminal 1 and arrives 40 minutes later at Milano Cadorna station. From the Caldorna station, the downtown area can be reached via the subway (€1) on the Red Line (Linea 1) or by taxi (approximately 15-20 €). Transportation to Milan from Malpensa Airport will be considerably more expensive (approximately €85). Orio al Serio Airport (Bergamo) is approximately 45 km (28 mi) northeast of Milan. The Orio Shuttle Bus departs the airport for the Milan Central Station, where transportation to the downtown area is available (see above). A taxi from the airport will cost approximately €40-50. Rental cars are available at all airports. Routes from each airport to Milan are clearly marked and easily followed. However, traffic congestion in Milan is frequently encountered, and parking in the downtown area is very limited. Arriving by train Meeting participants traveling by rail will arrive at the Milan Central Station (Stazione Centrale), where transportation to the downtown area is available (see above).
