The lecture hall is located at a distance of about 3 km from the city centre of San Cristóbal de La Laguna (usually just called 'La Laguna') and is about a 1 km from the headquarters of the IAC. The venue is 5 km away from the island's capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
How to reach the venue
The address of the venue is:
By public transport
The tram is most convenient for transport. It connects La Laguna and Santa Cruz and runs every 5 - 10 minutes in the mornings. Reaching the venue takes 10 minutes from La Laguna, and approximately 30 minutes from Santa Cruz downtown.
- Tram: line 1. Stop: "Las Mantecas"
Additionally, Titsa buses connect all the other cities and villages of Tenerife.
We recommend you to buy your tickets through the app ten+movil. Once installed and registered, it allows one to add money to a virtual wallet by credit card or by buying credit at ticket machines. It offers 20% discount on tram and bus tickets. You also buy the tickets in the vending machines available in all the stops validating them as you get in the tram.
Walking
The venue can also be reached on foot from the center of La Laguna city, but it would take around 40 minutes. Walking from Santa Cruz to the venue can take a very long time and is not recommended.
Welcome Cocktail
The welcome cocktail will take place on Tuesday, November 7th at 18h00 in the Sala Microcosmos of the Museo de la Ciencia y del Cosmos of La Laguna (MCC).
