Travel information
How to get to Warsaw
For visitors from far away, it will be best to get to Warsaw by plane. Warsaw Airport is located a bit far from the city center, and to reach the center, you can use train or take a cab.
For those traveling from closer distances, taking a train may be a better option. The main train station is conveniently located in the city center.
Public transport
In Warsaw, you can easily move around using public transport. It is possible to buy tickets at any ticket machine. We recommend using the Jakdojade app to check timetables and connections, which is also available for download on the Play Store and the App Store.
What to see in Warsaw
While there may not be enough time during the conference to thoroughly explore Warsaw, we still recommend visiting the following landmarks.
The Castle is not only a state museum but also a national historical monument, once serving as the official royal residence for several Polish monarchs. Situated within the Royal Castle and the surrounding Old Town, it holds the prestigious designation of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Remarkably, it stands as the second most visited art museum in Poland and ranks as the 24th most visited art museum worldwide.
The Palace of Culture and Science is a prominent high-rise building located in central Warsaw. Standing at a total height of 237 meters (778 feet), it holds the distinction of being the second tallest building in both Warsaw and Poland.
The Royal Łazienki was King Stanisław August’s summer residence, in which a classicist architecture is harmoniously blended with its natural surroundings featuring fabulous gardens.
A real paradise for science enthusiasts, not only children! Here you can discover the secrets of nature, conduct experiments on your own and have fun doing it. At the CSC, don’t ask for a guide. Here, everyone is a researcher and discoverer and we don’t do experiments under someone else’s order. You will conduct experiments here on your own, finding out how your senses allow you to perceive the world.
