Practical and access information about the CERN Open Days
A new system for tracking visitors to CERN’s underground sites has been successfully tested by CMS and is ready for use at all targeted locations
Certain roads around CERN’s two main sites will be closed to traffic and a system of free car parks and shuttles will be available
Check out all the activities – above and below ground – that you can visit at the CERN Open Days
Remember: There are many ways for CERN people to explore the laboratory, even for those not lucky enough to get an underground visit ticket
From today, CERN will be taking bookings for visits of its underground facilities during the Open Days. Tickets are free of charge so book now!
Plan your visit now for the CERN Open Days in September. Tickets will be available to book from late August
