Getting to Vaeshartelt Hotel and Conference Centre from Maastricht
The conference takes place at the conference centre Vaeshartelt, which is located just outside Maastricht [1]. Vaeshartelt is a hotel as well as a conference centre. Unless you specifically requested otherwise, you are located in the Vaeshartelt hotel.
When you arrive with luggage, we advise taking a taxi. Taxi Blue offers a fixed price of 15 euro (one-way). You can call them at +31 43 3264747, and they need about 15 minutes response time. Please mention that you wish to use their fixed price for Vaeshartelt. Other taxi services (e.g., taxis waiting at the train station) may charge you more. If you plan using them, ask for a price indication before boarding.
Maastricht locals or those with light luggage may choose to take the bus, line 59 in the direction of Sittard. The bus leaves from the bus station at the back of the railway station in Maastricht (not from the front side where city busses leave), at Meersenerweg. Check www.9292.nl for bus schedules. It takes about 6 minutes to reach bus station Vaeshartelt (make sure you press the button so the driver knows you want to exit, or tell the driver in advance where you want to exit). Station Vaeshartelt lies on a road called Mariënwaard (there is also a bus station with this name, but you don’t want that one). When you exit the bus, walk towards the side-road (“Weert”, but this is not well indicated) and follow the signs to Vaeshartelt (follow the side road until you reach the conference centre). The walk from the bus station to the conference centre is about 650 m.
For those arriving by car, Vaeshartelt has private parking facilities.
A final option is to take the train to Station Maastricht Noord (this is on the line to Kerkrade). When exiting the train, walk toward the parking lot (indicated by P+R), and take the path through the forest called Beukenlaan. The path will lead you to Vaeshartelt in about 10 minutes.
A map of the Vaeshartelt area can be found here.
On Wednesday, a bus to Vaeshartelt will be arranged for those who are staying at the Mabi Hotel in Maastricht city centre (this is a select group who arrives early, and who have been contacted about Hotel Mabi before).
