Traveling to Saarbrücken and getting to the Conference Venue
Travelling to the Capital of the Saarland is not hard. Most of you will arrive by plane at Frankfurt/Main Airport, which has its own train station right inside. From there you can take a direct regional train to Saarbrücken. But you should also consider a flight to Luxemburg Airport, which is even closer and has bus shuttles leaving for Saarbrücken as well.
The best way to get to the conference venue itselb is by bus, the destination stop is called Universität Campus. From the main railway station, lines 11, 112 and 124 go directly to the campus. There ist timetable SaarVV, where you can check departure times, and of course there is always Google Maps or Apple Maps on your mobile.
The conference venue is in building C7 4 on campus, a 5 minute walk from the Campus stop. Unfortunately, this is not the Language Centre.
Conference Hotel
We have prereserved rooms at the InterCity Hotel for all participants of the T4EU Language Conference 2024. The hotel is only a few minutes' walk (downhill :-) ) from Saarbrücken's main railway station. The city's main shopping street is close by the doorstep and the restaurant where we will meet on the day of arrival is only a few meters away.
When booking, be sure to mention the code "xxx" to obtain the special rate for this conference
Other accomodation options
We recommend to stay at the conference hotel because it's conveniently located and you will often run into colleagues even outside the official conference program. If for whatever reason, however, you want to stay somewhere else, we have a few recommendations.
If you don't want to book near the train station, you should take a look around in the the area around the St. Johanner Markt. This is Saarbrücken's living room, so to speak, and there are numerous bars and restaurants here as well as a few hotels. The castle and the Ludwigskirche church, which is well worth a look, are also very close.
If you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle, that's also possible. However, it is advisable to choose a hotel or room close to the Saarbahn, the city's tramway. Which stop is nearby doesn't matter, we only have one line ;-)
Further hotel suggestions
- Motel One, well situated across from the theater, almost on the river Saar
- Hotel Leidinger, a stylish traditional Saarbrücken Hotel not far from Sankt Johanner Markt
- B&B Saarbrücken, a cost saving option behind the main station

Cancellations
We recommend that you pay attention to the cancellation conditions when booking your trip and accommodation and, if in doubt, book with the option to cancel. This is particularly important for the conference hotel which accepts free cancellations 7 days prior to your expected arrival.
