Accommodation

Venice in March is particularly attractive and the situation concerning hotel accommodation is always very tight. As usual, a number of rooms have been reserved for the Workshop participants at reduced rates at the Hotel Europa & Regina - San Marco 2159, Venice, a top class comfortable Hotel on the Grand Canal, at a walking distance (about 5 minutes) from Piazza San Marco and close to the "Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti".
We apologize if it would turn out to be impossible to satisfy all applications. Those wishing to stay at the Hotel Europa & Regina are urged to reserve their accommodation.
