Lattice 2017, the 35th International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory will take place in Granada, Spain, from Sunday, 18 June 2017, to Saturday, 24 June 2017.

The conference will be held on the Granada Exhibition and Conference Centre, which is conveniently situated in the centre of the city. All plenary and parallel sessions will take place in the same floor of the Conference Centre.

The conference scientific programme will start in the morning of Monday, 19 June 2017, and end at lunchtime on Saturday, 24 June. Registration and reception will be held on the evening of Sunday, 18 June 2017, in the terrace of the Granada Exhibition and Conference Centre (La Nube).

Granada is located in the southeast of Spain at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains and less than one hour from the Mediterranean coast.

Excursions and Sightseeing

Granada is a city that has always fascinated visitors. They are spellbound by the beauty of the architecture and design of the Moorish citadel and palaces of the Alhambra (UNESCO world heritage site) and the sensual harmony of water and gardens in the Generalife, and equally enchanted by unforgettable sounds and dances of flamenco in the caves of the Sacromonte. Above all, Granada is a city of majestic buildings and small squares, streets and old houses. Attendees will enjoy spectacular sights such as the sunset from the old Albayzin quarter (UNESCO world heritage site), with its picturesque and narrow streets and in the Christian city the splendid Cathedral and Royal Chapel.

The afternoon of Wednesday 21 June has been allocated for excursions, and we are currently in the process of organising a selection of options.

In addition, on Monday 19 June there will be a private night visit to Alhambra palaces from 20:30 to 22:00, included in the registration fee.

There are plenty of opportunities for sightseeing and cultural as well as recreational activities in Granada. More information with links to tourism official sites, including the on-line Alhambra ticket office, and cultural guides can be found on the conference web site
