Venue Location

Easily Accessible

 

  • The congress venue, “La Nuvola”, is one of the most iconic buildings in the city of Rome, situated at a central destination, which is easily accessible by public transportation, and reduces the need for individual taxis or shuttle, which could help reduce CO2 emissions.
  • Located only a quick stroll from the EUR Fermi or EUR Palasport stops on metro line B, the city centre or main train station Termini can be reached just in 10 minutes.
  • Many local buses and trams also circulate the city.
