By subway and bus

Three subway lines stop within five minutes' walk of the office (indicative). City buses also serve the district at high frequency.

A travel pass can be bought at the stations; check the current conditions before your journey.

On Foot and by Bicycle

The district is dense and easy to explore on foot. Public bike-share stations are nearby, as well as a protected cycle route along the river.

For visitors coming from a hotel in the centre, walking is often the quickest option.

Accessibility

The building is accessible to people with reduced mobility: step-free entrance, lifts, accessible toilets. A reception officer can accompany visitors on request.

If you need specific assistance, notify the office before your visit so that the reception can be prepared.
