Traveling from the hotel to Vincent Hall
There is shuttle service between the hotel and the campus. For
information about this, please ask at the hotel lobby.
It is also possible to walk (about 15 minutes), but you should pick up
a map and directions at the hotel lobby.
Directions to Hotel and Math Department from Minneapolis St.
Paul Airport
To get between the Airport in Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota, it
is possible to take an airport shuttle (approx $15), a taxi (approx $35) or
Public transportation (approximately $2.) Depending on when you travel, it is
probably easiest to take public transport from the airport to the hotel. The
following is a description of how to do this trip from the airport. The
description makes the trip look much more difficult than it is since it is
written in (possibly annoying) detail.
Taking Public Transport from the Airport to the Hotel or
Conference
The trip from airport to
hotel involves a 20
minute train ride followed
by a short bus ride. Even
when the roads are clear of traffic, the following
public transport is almost certainly faster than taking an airport
shuttle.
Here are the steps by public transport, in (probably) annoying
detail:
- From the baggage claim level of the airport (one level lower than the
arrival level) go down one more level still and follow the signs to the Tram.
(This Tram will take you to the transit center. The transit center is the
location of the light rail station.)
- Get on the Tram. It goes in one direction only and does not
take long.
- When the tram stops you should get off, because you are in the transit
center. Follow signs to the light rail station. You go down one floor and buy
your ticket from one of the vending machines (it will be either $1.25 or $1.75,
depending on whether you are traveling in rush hour or not.)
- After you purchase your ticket, go down one more floor to the train
platform. You should wait on the side marked "to Minneapolis".
- Get on the train and take it to the stop marked "Cedar-Riverside"
This ride takes 20 Minutes. Your ticket does not need to be punched or turned
into anyone, but hold onto it as you will need it for the duration of your trip
to the hotel.
- When you get off the train at the Cedar-Riverside stop, walk away
from the train tracks along 16th Ave S, until it ends at a "T" intersection
at 6th St S. Turn righ and go one block to Cedar Ave S. Turn left and go north
on Cedar for about one half mile, until the road bends to the left and turns into
Washington Ave south. At this bend in the road, you can see the Holiday Inn Metrodome.
