Accommodation
We recommend the following hotels:
- located nearby the IFJ PAN (the meeting place): Best Western Hotel Piast (walk distance),
- or with a convenient connection by public transportation: Novotel-Bronowice, Krakowiak, Cracovia, Ibis, Novotel-Centrum (bus 173 - 2,5 PLN).
The detail information on these and other hotels is available here.

NOTE!
As heavy construction is going on at the central railway station in Cracow, and no public transportation is available in the vicinity, we recommend you the following way to get to your hotel:
after getting off the train, you should go up (or take a lift) and take a taxi on the upper level of the railway station. For example: a taxi to the Novotel-Bronowice hotel costs about 5-6 Euro, at nights can be more.

*) An average exchange rate of 1 EUR = 3.9 PLN (in Oct. 2005).
