For the journey to Greifswald we recommend the train: https://www.bahn.com/en
With this link you can see your personal train connection and book online tickets. Most people will arrive via Berlin-Brandenburg Airport (BER). This (new) airport has a rail connection in the basement. Usually, for the route Berlin Airport - Greifswald, you have to change trains once at the main station in Berlin.
Tickets can be purchased online. A flexible fare ticket allows one to take any train on a specific day or a “Flexpreis Plus” ticket, which gives a three-day window for the travel. Regional trains may be busy because of people going from Berlin to the beach.
Some trains, but not all, make two Greifswald stops, "Greifswald Süd" and "Greifswald". Please get off at the latter stop.
Participants leaving by morning flights may need to stay overnight in Berlin.
For the use of a Greifswald cab, it is currently recommended to book in advance by phone: +49 3834 811811 or +49 3834 500166
Greifswald has developed its own city app. You can find the free app with lots of information and contact details in every download portal.

In Germany there is currently the possibility to buy a ticket for regional trains and public bus transport for one month. You then only need to show this together with a picture ID (passport, identity card, driving licence).

To get to the IPP guesthouse by bus, you can use the 9-euro ticket.
