The free conference bus will be available for the participants to go from Warsaw to the Workshop site in Białowieża. The bus will leave on Saturday, June 26, from the Physics Department, Warsaw University, Hoża 69. (about 500 meters from Warsaw Central Railway Station - Warszawa Centralna, see Google maps). The bus will depart for Białowieża at 16:00 (4 P.M.).
We shall also arrange a free bus trip back from Białowieża to Warsaw on Sunday, July 4. The bus will depart not later than 7:00 (A.M.). It will arrive to Warsaw about 12:00. The exact time of departure of this bus will be announced during the Workshop.

From Warsaw Airport to Physics Department

The cheapest way to get to the Physics Department from the airport is to take regular city bus (line 175) at the exit of the air terminal. Ticket costs about 3 zl (about 1 EUR) and can be bought at the newspapers stands at the terminal. One should get off at the bus stop in front of the Mariott Hotel, opposite to the Central Railway Station (Warszawa Centralna). From there it is short walk to the Department. Members of the local organizing committee will be at hand there.

It is also possible to take a taxi from the Airport to the Physics Department. This may be very expensive in Warsaw, however it is safer, quicker and more comfortable. In the case, it is strongly advised to negotiate the price with the driver before hiring. Approximate cost is 30 zł.

From Warsaw to Bialowieza by means of public transport

There are basically two different routes to reach Bialowieza from Warsaw: one through SIEDLCE and other one through BIALYSTOK. They both meet in HAJNOWKA, a small town at the border of National Preserve Forest, about 15 km west from Bialowieza.

• The route through Bialystok is a combination of train Warsaw - Bialystok and bus Bialystok - Bialowieza, with a possible change of bus at Hajnowka. One can also choose a direct bus from Warsaw Airport to Bialystok organized by Polski Express.
• The route through Siedlce is a combination of train Warsaw - Siedlce - Hajnowka (change of a train at Siedlce and possibly Czeremcha) and a bus Hajnowka - Bialowieza. For details, please check the links below or contact the organizing committee.

It is also possible to hire a taxi from Hajnowka to Bialowieza, with an estimated cost of 80 zl (30 EUR or 40 $) or less.

From Moscow to Bialowieza by means of public transport

There is very good train connection from Moscow to Grodno and then to Bialystok. It may be cheaper and faster than connection through Warsaw. Please read previous point for information about reaching Bialowieza from Bialystok by bus.

Hotel in Warsaw

The organizers can book a hotel room in Warsaw, either before or after the Workshop. Please let us know about that as soon as possible. Prices range from 40 EUR to 100 EUR.
