For face-to-face events: Participants of the Intercultural Trainer Academy are responsible for booking their own accommodation.
In the following, you will find a list of recommendations for accommodation to consider for your stay for the duration of the Intercultural Trainer Academy in summer 2021 as well as some useful information on HVV, the public transportation system in Hamburg.
