Arriving to Warsaw By plane: There are two main airports in Warsaw: Warsaw Chopin Airport operating all major airlines and located near the city centre: http://www.lotnisko-chopina.pl/en/passenger?cl=en&set_language=en It takes about 20/30 minutes to get from the airport to the city centre taking a taxi and about 30/40 minutes if you decide to take a bus Buses: A line 175 will take you to the Main Railway Station stop Dworzec Centralny, a line 188 will take you to the underground station stop Metro Politechnika. Taxis: For safety reasons we strongly advise you to use licensed taxi services offered at Chopin Airport. Taxi tariffs should be clearly displayed in the car window. The taxi fare from the airport to the city centre is approximately PLN 40 (daytime). Modlin Airport http://en.modlinairport.pl/ serving for Ryanair. The airport is markedly further away from the city and as it is a new investment, transport options are still being organized there is a direct bus from the airport to the city centre which takes about an hour. Train ride to the Main Railways Station (Warszawa Centralna) takes about 1,5 hour. We recommend you choosing Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) as it is closer to the city centre and has more connections. By train: There are suitable connections to Warsaw from major cities e.g., Berlin, Vienna, Prague. Information about the connections can be found at the website of the Polish Railways (PKP) - http://rozklad-pkp.pl/bin/query.exe/en, or on the national railway websites such as Deutche Bahn http://www.bahn.de. If you choose to travel by train the Main Railway Station (Warszawa Centralna) should be your destination. It is not far from most of the recommended hotels and from Warsaw School of Economics.
Hotels Warsaw offers plenty of hotels of various standards and pricing levels. We recommend a few hotels based on their standard and location. Please, remember that our conference is shortly before Christmas. We are sure you will enjoy Christmas spirit in Warsaw, but the hotels are filling up very quickly at this time of a year! So please, do book as soon as you can!
