Plan Your Visit
Please note: Registration for the Bernstein Conference is planned to open in mid-May 2025. To help you plan your visit in advance, we are already providing accommodation information and directions to the venues.
Reaching Frankfurt
Frankfurt am Main, with its almost 800 000 inhabitants, is one of the biggest cities in Germany. Due to its central location, it has developed into an infrastructural hub in Germany and Europe and can be easily reached by train via Frankfurt Central Station or plane via Frankfurt Airport (FRA).
Please note: „Frankfurt am Main“, often simply referred to as „Frankfurt“, is located in central Germany on the Main river. There is also a city called „Frankfurt (Oder)“ located on the Oder river in eastern Germany. When planning your trip, make sure you are heading for Frankfurt am Main.
