Pre- or post-conference tours

The conference follows the Easter vacations (or, for some universities, is held during vacations), which is a great opportunity to discover more than it is feasible within the conference schedule. If you want to team up with other participants to visit a specific place, or just to join others who do know what to visit, please contact us, and we will put you in contact with others, or will suggest a route, and also will put you in contact with a tour agency.

Later we may post here information on recommended tours and tour agencies.
