PRACTICAL INFORMATION
How to get to the University of Geneva?
From Gare Cornavin to Rue Jean-Daniel Colladon, 2
Note that you must buy a ticket from the vending machine at the stop before boarding the bus. Bus 5 departs from a stop that is directly in front of the station. Take Bus 5 (direction "Thonex Vallard") to the stop "Palais Eynard," which is on Rue de la Croix-Rouge. The large park, Parc des Bastions, will be on your right. When you get off the bus, cross the road at the traffic lights and walk to your right, taking the first street on your left; Rue Jean-Daniel Colladon is the first street on your right. Alternatively, from the bus stop "Palais Eynard" you can cross the road and walk to your right, taking the second street on your left which is Rue Jean-Daniel-Colladon (the roads meet in a circle). Take the stairs to the first floor to find the room in which we will meet.
