I'm leaving tonight, and expect to arrive in Gdansk on a Lot flight from Frankfurt at 1715 on Tuesday, July 6. I have no problem with taking a taxi, and will do so (with luggage) to the Philarmonic when I get there, unless I receive different instructions.

Hi guys,
I am not on the official logistics team so I cannot tell you exactly where to go when you arrive. But I can give you a little bit of general gdansk travel information:
- the venue is the Baltic Philharmonic, Polska Filharmonia Bałtycka
im. Fryderyka Chopina . 2) the various hotels are scattered around the city (all within a fairly close radius to the venue however) 3) here's a map: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=pl&oe=UTF8&msa=0&m... 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 which personally I would print out the central part of so as to have something to show a taxi driver.
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 (http://www.polrail.com/sections/travel/railairlinks.html#Gdansk).
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.
