The XVIIth International Congress of Celtic Studies – Utrecht 2023

Accommodation

Utrecht University does not offer on-campus accommodation. Hence delegates of ICCS 2023 are advised to book their own accommodation in Utrecht or the surrounding areas. Public transport from most suburbs and towns is quite good (although the additional cost should be taken into account), and it is generally very easy to rent a bike to get around as well. For this, see the section ‘Travel to and from Utrecht’.

The conference locations are centered around the Janskerkhof, with the official opening of ICCS taking place at the medieval Janskerk, and papers to be given at various locations along the Drift.

It is possible to book a hotel room through the block booking provided by Hotel Services Utrecht for our conference. Note that the quoted prices are of the flexible rate (i.e. can be cancelled) and include breakfast. Depending on your preferences (breakfast, cancellation, etc), booking as an individual traveller may be cheaper. Booking through Hotel Services may be done here.

Note that, unfortunately, tourist accommodation in the Netherlands is relatively expensive. This page provides you with a list of hotels, sorted based on their price range. More information may also be found on the website of Visit Utrecht.
