Travel Information

Accommodation Options

The Citrix office is about 3.5km (a bit more than 2 miles) from Cambridge City centre. The map below gives a rough overview, showing the event location, railway stations and a number of popular hotels. CamHotels.jpg

Orchard Park

There are a number of hotels in the Orchard Park area. This is a residential suburb of Cambridge. Hotels are usually less than GBP 50-120 a night. By taxi, it will take you about 8-10 minutes to the office. Walking is possible. If you plan to stay in this area, the best options are

Arbury Road/Chesterton Road

There are a number of smaller Bed and Breakfasts and Guest houses in the area, most costing around 80 GBP a night. Some of these are very good (look for ratings above 4.5) and are close enough to the city centre as well as the Citrix office. By taxi, it will take you about 8-10 minutes to the office. Walking is possible.

City Centre

There are a number of options in the City Centre. You are looking at around GBP 120-150 per night and a 10-15 minute taxi ride to Citrix. If you have not been to Cambridge before, we highly recommend to stay in the city centre.
