Warsaw, Poland, June 12-14, 1998

Venue and Travel
The Physics Faculty is located in a walking distance from the Central
Railway Station.
Participants arriving by plane should take bus number 175 or
"Airport-City" bus and disembark at the Central Station too.
Tickets for all buses but the "Airport-City" one can be
purchased at newspaper stands (price 1.40 PLN).
Tickets for the latter are being sold by the driver.
Beware of frequent theft accidents in bus number 175 !!!
Taxis should be treated with maximal care. Most of the drivers there
demand unreasonably high prices for a ride. The best option

departures hall (telephone number 919). A taxi will arrive
in front of that hall only. Telephones operate on cards which
can be purchased in newspaper stands, same as for the bus tickets.
