<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello Pheobe, and thank you for all the information. Just one question; is there a cheaper way than a taxi to get to where the check in will be taking place? you mention that the bus overshoots our destination, but is the railway station too far/close from that destination, is it doable by walk?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thank you very much, and see you soon :)</div><div>Maysara <br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 2, 2010 at 6:09 PM, phoebe ayers <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:phoebe.ayers@gmail.com">phoebe.ayers@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>1) the venue is the Baltic Philharmonic, Polska Filharmonia Bałtycka im. Fryderyka Chopina . <br>
2) the various hotels are scattered around the city (all within a fairly close radius to the venue however) <br>3) here's a map: <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=pl&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=117126163892714460579.000466478a8b96d9f7d6d&ll=54.351854,18.659163&spn=0.024661,0.077248&z=14" target="_blank">http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=pl&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=117126163892714460579.000466478a8b96d9f7d6d&ll=54.351854,18.659163&spn=0.024661,0.077248&z=14</a><br>
which personally I would print out the central part of so as to have something to show a taxi driver. <br><br>A taxi from the airport to this part of the city costs about 50pln. (15USD, 12 Euro). At night it will be more expensive: 65pln. There is a bus between the airport & the railway station (Gdansk Glowny), but that overshoots where you want to be in the old city (<a href="http://www.polrail.com/sections/travel/railairlinks.html#Gdansk" target="_blank">http://www.polrail.com/sections/travel/railairlinks.html#Gdansk</a>).<br>
<br>The Gdansk airport is small! It is only a few gates. So you won't get hopelessly lost. Basically, you get off the plane, go through immigration (or not, you'll likely be coming on a transfer flight from another EU country), claim your luggage, walk out the door and there are the taxis. Then it's about 8km into central gdansk. <br>

<div><p>Hi,<br>
<br>
When we arrive in Gdansk, will there be an Wikimania 2010 official at the airport to guide us to the venue or will we have to find our way through by ourselves?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
