The best accommodation for visitors coming to the ICTP is the Galileo Guest House and the Adriatico Guest House. The Galileo Guest House is located on the hill behind the ICTP Main Building and close to the Enrico Fermi Building while the Adriatico Guest House overlooks the sea. If you are staying in either of these places, you are only a step away from the Centre, or practically "on campus".

In accordance with our administrative regulations, scientists whose expenses are covered by the ICTP receive priority for accommodation in our Guest Houses, particularly when there are several overlapping activities and will be booked with the type of accommodation specified in the Invitation Letter or in the Financial Annex.

Kindly note that accompanying family members can be accepted in our Guest House subject to availability. Any extra charges should be settled directly with the Reception. In case of unavailability of the Guest Houses, the Housing Office will help to arrange for accommodation in downtown Hotels.

Scientists visiting the Centre at their own expenses can be provided with accommodation in the ICTP Guest Houses if not fully booked, otherwise the Housing Office will help to arrange for accommodation in downtown Hotels.

In both categories, bookings are not automatic but made only upon receipt of the ACCOMMODATION FORM duly completed with all the necessary information.

Please note that the Guest Houses accept payments either in cash ( Euro currency ) or by Pos and by Credit Card (CARTASI MASTERCARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS,VISA BANKAMERICARD )
