Once in Berlin, how do I get to the Congress?

The subway station "U Heinrich-Heine-Strasse" (U-Bahn line U8, bus no. 240, 265) is just a few meters away from the convention centre "Haus am Köllnischen Park" (HAKP). This should be your station of choice to reach the Congress comfortably.

The subway station "U Märkisches Museum" (U-Bahn line U2) and rapid metro station "S Jannowitzbrücke" are a bit further off, but definitely within walking distance.

Time-tables of the "BVG" (the Berlin public transport authority) are available online at http://www.fahrinfo-berlin.de/bin/query.exe/d?L=. Inner-urban connections are also listed in Deutsche Bahn's online timetables at http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/.

The precise wording of the station there is "Heinrich-Heine-Str. (U), Berlin". Yes, this web interface sucks.
