The Cidade da Cultura is located on Monte Gaiás, a small hill on the eastern side of Santiago de Compostela. There are several alternatives for getting between the conference venue and the city center (please take them into account before booking your accommodation):

• Official PROPOR shuttles: The organization will provide buses to go to the conference in the morning and return at the end of each day. The buses will leave from the Hotel Exe Peregrino, and will stop at Praza de Galicia, and at the hotels located in the San Lázaro area (Hotel Eurostars San Lázaro, and Hotel Puerta del Camino).
• Public transportation: The only way to get to the Cidade da Cultura by public transportation is to get the city bus nº 9. It leaves from Casas Novas, and passes through Rúa das Galeras, Rúa da Senra and Praza da Galiza, Rúa Virxe da Cerca, Rúa de San Roque, Avenida de Lugo, and Barrio das Fontiñas before arriving at the Cidade da Cultura. More information and schedules can be found here: http://tussa.org/web/linas.php?id=28&lg=gal
• Walking / Biking: The Cidade da Cultura is just over 2 kilometers from the city center, so depending on the weather, walking may be an option (note that because it’s on a hill, there are some slightly steep slopes).

Taxi: You can check the rates per kilometer (as of 2023, not yet updated) here: https://radiotaxicompostela.com/tarifas/
