Expo Hotel Valencia

It's placed in Nuevo Centro, one of the most crowded comercial zones of the city, and near the historic center. It counts with easy acces to the airport, Recinto Ferial, Palacio de Congresos and to the road net. It's next to the Bus Station. The Expo Hotel room where the tournament will be held, called Gran Salón, has 600m2, so it has a high seating capacity. We recommend you to stay in one of the 378 rooms of the hotel where we do the tournament, as you will save money on travel expenses. This is the web page of the hotel: http://www.expogrupo.com/hotel/expo-valencia/index.html


¿How to arrive?

Valencia is a city with very good connections, so you have lots of posibilities to arrive easily from very different places.

You can travel by train from any spanish city, arriving to the North Station. From there, you can get the line 3 (to Mislata-Almassil) of the underground in the Xativa stop. Get out in the next stop, called Angel Guimerá, where you have to get the line 1 (to Bétera or Lliria) and get off in the next stop, Turia. You will be next to the Expo Hotel. In the next link you have a Metro de Valencia (the underground) map: http://www.indiweb.net/imagenes/metro-valencia.gif

You can get to Valencia by plane. The Manises Airport is at 8km from the place of the tournament. You can get to the hotel by bus or taxi (it would cost about 20 euros). In this link you can see how to arrive from the airport: http://www.aena.es/csee/Satellite?cid=1048790574465&pagename=Estandar%2FPage%2FAeropuerto&SMO=1&SiteName=VLC&c=Page&MO=1

Another good way would be coming by bus, as the Bus Station is very near to the Hotel.
