<h3>Getting around</h3>
<p><b>Busses, trams and ferries:</b> The best
way to get around Gothenburg is to use the local busses, trams and
ferries. These are run by <a
href="http://www.vasttrafik.se/">V&auml;sttrafik</a>. On their
webpage, you'll find a handy <a
href="http://www.vasttrafik.se/">travel planner</a>, which you can
also get on your phone by searching from the V&auml;sttrafik
App. <i>Note that you need to buy a V&auml;sttrafik card/ticket before
traveling. V&auml;sttrafik cards can be bought at practically any
kiosk in town, e.g. Pressbyrån or 7-Eleven</i>.
</p>
<p>
We recommend obtaining
the 3-day ticket (SEK 170) at the airport. More details regarding
traffic passes can be found <a href="https://www.vasttrafik.se/#!/en/tickets-and-prices/">here</a>.

Alternatively, you can also get the tickets (ranging from 90 minutes
single ticket to 3 days short term ticket) via V&auml;sttrafik mobile
app <a href="http://www.vasttrafik.se/#!/biljetter-priser/biljett-i-appen-vasttrafik-to-go/">ToGo</a>.

Gothenburg has spruced up its once rundown neighbourhoods and reinvented itself to show off the best of cutting-edge Swedish design, food and music. &mdash; The Guardian, Aug 2015
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
Ferries trundling round the beautiful, car-free southern archipelago are a tram ride from the city centre. In short, this is as much Scandinavia as you can get. &mdash; Lonely Planet, Oct 2012

<h2>Getting to Gothenburg</h2>

<p><b>Flights:</b> Gothenburg is served by an international airport
G&ouml;teborg Landvetter Airport (code: GOT). It is Sweden's second
largest airport with many daily flights from all of the major hubs in
Europe.  </p>

<p><b>From airport to hotel by taxi:</b> Such a taxi ride is likely to
cost around 500-600 SEK, which is currently 51-61 EUR or 56-70
USD. All taxis accept card payments. Taxi prices can vary
significantly between taxi companies, so <i>check the price with your
driver before entering the taxi!</i> Reputable taxi companies in
Gothenburg include: <a href="http://www.taxigoteborg.se/En/Home">Taxi
Göteborg</a> and <a href="https://www.taxikurir.se/">Taxi
Kurir</a></p>

<p><b>From airport to hotel by bus:</b> One can catch the <a
href="https://www.swedavia.com/landvetter/bus/#gref">Flygbuss Airport
coach</a> from outside the check-in hall of the airport. This coach
takes you to central Gothenburg &mdash; more specifically to Nils
Ericson terminal. From central Gothenburg one can catch the local bus
16 to the conference hotel in Lindholmen (the name of the bus stop is
<i>Lindholmen</i>).</p>
