How to get to the workshop venue
The closest stops are the bus stations "Staudtstraße" or equivalently "Stuadtstr." (~1 minute walk) and "Sebaldussiedlung" (~5 minutes walk). From the hotels, the trip takes, depending on the connection, between 20 and 30 minutes. As there are several different busses that run between the hotels and the workshop venue, you can look for a suitable connection on https://www.vgn.de/en/. You can enter your hotel ("Holiday Inn Express, Erlangen", "Creativhotel Luise, Erlangen" for Hotel Luise or "A. B. Hotel, Erlangen") as departure point and "Nikolaus-Fiebiger-Straße 2, Erlangen" for the workshop venue. Then the website shows different connections, also including short walks to one of the closest bus stops. When picking one connection, you can click on the map symbol to see the exact route.
To walk the entire distance takes ~45 minutes (Holiday Inn Express, AB Hotel) and ~30 minutes (Hotel Luise).
Busses run in Erlangen roughly until 11:30pm, some also until midnight. However, the later it gets, the lower the frequency and you might also need to walk longer distances.
