Campus map, how to reach AULA P1:
AIRPLANE
People will probably arrive by airplane either at Rome, Fiumicino Airport (FCO) [named “Leonardo Da Vinci”], or at Naples, Capodichino Airport.
In both case you will find hereafter the instructions [A or B, respectively] to reach by train the Salerno Railway Station (Salerno), unless you arrive in Capodichino and can profit from the direct bus Capodichino-Salerno [see B* below]. If you arrive by bus in Naples, you can directly read instruction B2.
There is also a Salerno Airport in Pontecagnano (distance from Salerno km 10). It is a small one, with just a few connections, yet there are direct flights from/to Munich.
More information are available on the web-site www.aeroportosalerno.it
Once in Salerno you may reach Grand Hotel Salerno on foot. The Hotel is actually located in Salerno, near Concordia Square, you have to walk some 200 meters to reach it. Another possibility is to take a taxi at the cost of about € 5 from Salerno Railway Station Square directly to the Hotel.
Form Salerno, the University Campus as well as Hotel S. Caterina and Hotel dei Principati could be reached by bus trips services operated by SITA or CSTP.
