Cagliari is easily accessible via its International Airport, Cagliari Elmas (IATA: CAG), which offers frequent flights to major European cities. We recommend a stopover of at least two hours if you use the airports in Rome (Fiumicino) or Milan (Linate) due to possible delays, overcrowding, and/or re-checking of checked baggage.
The city center is conveniently reachable by train from the airport of Cagliari Elmas between 7 am to 10 pm. At other times, transportation is provided by taxis: there is a fixed fare for connections between the airport and various parts of the city (25-30 euros), but waiting times may be long. Taxis can be booked via call to one of the cooperatives or through the apps (itTaxi, appTaxi, or Uber).
For those arriving by train, Cagliari’s central train station is a short bus ride from the conference location (bus lines 5 and 8). If you prefer to drive, rental cars are available at the airport, and parking is available near the venue, subject to availability.
More details about public transport can be found on the apps of the train (Trenitalia) and bus (CTM BusFinder) companies.
