Bridges 2025 Travel and Accommodations

Beware of scams! Scammers will look at websites for conferences and then attempt to send email messages to participants asking them for their itineraries or to book accommodations with them. The Bridges Organization and the hotels below will not send you unsolicited messages about accommodations; anything you receive of this type is spam.

Venue

Bridges 2025 takes place in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, on the main campus of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). The TU/e campus is located in the downtown area of Eindhoven, about a ten-minute walk to the north from the Central Bus & Train Station.

Travel to Eindhoven

Here are some suggestions for getting to Eindhoven from regional airports.

  • Intercontinental flights: You should fly into Schipol airport in Amsterdam, The Netherlands (AMS) and take Dutch Rail (NS) to Eindhoven. Travel time is about 1 hour, 45 minutes, and there are multiple trains per hour. Dutch Rail also has a mobile app to help you plan your travel and buy tickets.
  • It is also possible to fly into Brussels, Belgium (BRU) and travel by rail or bus (Flixbus) to Eindhoven. This is less convenient than Amsterdam, with a travel time of about 3hours.
  • Continental flights: From within Europe it is possible to fly into Eindhoven Airport (EIN). The Express Bus 400/401 will take you from the airport to the central bus and train station in Eindhoven in about 30 minutes.
  • There are also continental flights into Düsseldorf Airport in Germany (DUS). Buses and trains travel from there to Eindhoven in about 3 hours.
