-====  Camerino ==== +=== Ghent === 
-Camerino is a small hilltop town in the Apennines, in Marche, a region in central-eastern Italy. The town is home to the University of Camerino (UniCam), founded in 1336 and officially recognised by the Pope in 1727. It is currently ranked as the best university in Italy among those with fewer than 10,000 students.+[[https://osm.org/go/0EjhYv|Ghent]] is one of the most beautiful cities in Belgium. Founded at the confluence of the rivers the Schelde and the Leie, it became one of the larges cities of northern Europe in the late Middle Ages. It has a port and houses a top 100 university, Ghent University. The people of Ghent, also known as the “stroppendragers”, are known to be stubborn but warm and kind :-)

-==== Travel ==== +=== Travel === 
-Camerino is located in a more rural area of Italy and is not particularly easy to +**Brussels National Airport**
-reach by public transportation. We will travel to Camerino together from Rome, which is a 3.5h train journey. We will take care of buying a group train ticket. You only need to take care of your travel to Rome.+
  
-Rome has two large airports, Fiumicino (FCO) and Ciampino (CIA). Ciampino is serviced by several budget airlines but a little further from the city and Fiumicino is closer but often more expensive to fly to. Both airports have reliable transport links directly to Roma Termini (Rome's central train station).+Ghent is only 60 minutes from the international airport of Zaventem "Brussels Airport", where flights to more than 70 destinations. There are two direct trains per hour between the airport railway station (Brussel-Nationaal-Luchthaven) and the railway station, Ghent-Sint-Pieters (Gent Sint-Pieters station). 
 +In the airport, follow the signs to the railway station. Buy a ticket for Ghent-Sint-Pieters station at the counter in the train station of the airport or [[http://www.belgianrail.be/en/|online]]. Booking online avoids long ques at the ticketing counters. 
 +Apart from direct trains to Ghent, you can take the shuttle train to Brussels Central Station from the airport (4 trains in each hour). There, you can change to a train to Ghent-Sint-Pieters.
