### Getting to PyCon India 2019 | ||
|
||
<br> | ||
|
||
#### **By Plane** | ||
<br> | ||
|
||
Chennai has an international airport that is well connected to Europe, the Middle East, US, | ||
and South East Asia. It is also well connected by domestic flights. | ||
|
||
**Chennai Trade Center(Conference)** | ||
|
||
The easiest option is to take a metro from Chennai Airport towards Washermenpet Metro and alight | ||
at Guindy Metro. From the metro station, you can board one of these buses - 49, 54, 54D and | ||
get down at Contonment Cemetery. The venue is 200 meters from here. Alternatively, you can hail | ||
a cab from ride sharing services like Uber or Ola. Please **do not** try to get an autorickshaw | ||
as they usually rip off outsiders. Same goes for rental cabs at the airport as well. | ||
|
||
**IITM Research Park(Workshops and Dev Sprints)** | ||
|
||
Again, the easiest option is to take a metro towards Washermenpet and alight at Little Mount Metro. | ||
From there, you can take a bus towards Thiruporur(570x) and alight at Pillaiyar Koil Stop. | ||
|
||

||
#### **By Train** | ||
<br> | ||
|
||
Chennai's Central Railway Station is where you will most probably arrive. | ||
|
||
**Chennai Trade Center(Conference)** | ||
|
||
The simplest way is to take a bus towards Poonamallee(bus route 54) and alight at Contonment | ||
Cemetery(or ask for Chennai Trade Center itself). It's an hour's ride and the venue is about 200 | ||
meters from the bus stop. | ||
|
||
**IITM Research Park(Workshops and Dev Sprints)** | ||
|
||
From Chennai Central, you can take a metro ride to Saidapet Metro and catch a bus | ||
towards Besant Nagar and alight at IIT-M or CLRI. The bus routes are 19B, 5C, 5E, 23C and 47. | ||
|
||
You can also use MRTS and get down at Thiruvanmiyur MRTS Stop. Ramanujam IT Park is close to this | ||
station and the entrance to IIT is just behind this. | ||
|
||

|
||
#### **By Bus** | ||
<br> | ||
|
||
Chennai CMBT is the central bus stand where all buses arrive. This has two bus stands - one | ||
for government and one for private buses. The directions are given from the government bus stand. | ||
|
||
**From CMBT to the venues** | ||
|
||
**Chennai Trade Center(Conference)** | ||
|
||
You can catch a metro to Guindy Metro Station and board one of these buses - 49, 54, 54D and | ||
get down at Contonment Cemetery. The venue is 200 meters from here. | ||
|
||
**IITM Research Park(Workshops and Dev Sprints)** | ||
|
||
You can reach IIT-M using the bus route 570 or 570S and get down at IIT-M bus stop(also referred | ||
to as CLRI) just opposite the entrance of IIT-M. | ||
|

#### **Please note** | ||
|
||
* Autorickshaws in Chennai **do not** use meters. Prefer using Uber or Ola in their place. Chennai | ||
has a good coverage in terms of public transport and you can easily reach any part of the city | ||
by using buses and trains. | ||
|
||
* If you are travelling by cabs, it's a better idea to get down at IIT Madras Research Park Entrance | ||
rather than the regular IIT-M Entrance. |
