Transportation

Most participants will fly to Copernicus Airport Wroclaw (WRO) or ride to Wrocław main rail station (Wrocław Główny). To find flights you may use any WWW search engine. For trains you can use PKP web site (copy-and-paste Wrocław Główny to destination field or use the interactive map, and, if available, take Intercity IC or Eurocity EC trains for better comfort). There are, e.g., frequent connections by train with Berlin and Dresden. Flying to Poznań, Katowice or Cracow and then taking train or bus to Wrocław will usually be less convenient. Driving car from, e.g., Germany or Austria may well be considered. Participants of the Satellite Summer School taking place on 9-13 July 2013 in the Mathematical Research Center in Będlewo, Poland, will have transportation from Będlewo to Wrocław provided by the organizers of the School on Sunday 14 July, so they may also consider flying to Poznań (for details see the web pages of the School).

Transportation in the city of Wrocław is by bus, tram or taxi. The city center is generally all within walking distance. Here is a nice trip planner named jakdojade, initially set to the route Airport->JP II Hotel and today. (Note that walking is in beta; in general follow available roads on the map.) There are also iPhone and Android applications jakdojade for smartphones. Normal tickets are 3PLN per ride and can be bought with credit card on each tram or bus. There are also ticket for 30-90 minutes, 24 hours etc. Ticket for a ride needs to be stamped/cancelled in a separate machine (not the vending machine) to be valid. At the side of the conference building there is a multi-bus/tram stop named most Grunwaldzki, and down the street, at the nearby R. Reagan roundabout, there is a big public transportation hub plac Grunwaldzki. From here you can typically get to anywhere in the city within one hour. If you plan to use taxi, Super Taxi at (+48) 800 109 663 will offer good rate if you order by phone and mention "Levy 7".
