MODERATOR | | Anyone else flying there from Munich on 24th around lunchtime? | Nov 18, 2005 |
I just wondered who else might be flying from Munich on the same flight as me, so that we could get in the taxi together on arrival in Krakow. Please get in touch via my profile.

Very simple - because the hotel does NOT offer such service.
They have LAN Internet, so you need a device to connect to local area network. The hotel does not have any wireless access points.
How do you connect your notebook to the lan, is your business, so far I can tell. But why don´t you contact the hotel directly and ask them? Neither Magda nor I are somehow connected with the hotel and can tell you about their business policies.
Regards

I'm going a day early (because the flights were cheaper that day) and flying from London Luton with EasyJet at 12.20 on Weds. 23rd. If anyone else is going to be on that flight - or will be arriving at Krakow at around the same time (16.20) and would like to share a taxi - do please get in touch.

Hello,
Does anyone happen to know if LPG is available at gas stations in Poland in general and in Krakow in particular?
Many thanks,
Dan

At least all major petrol stations in Cracow do sell LPG (not natural gas!). I do not know much about other petrol stations along your way from South, but if you chose the often used routes it should be no problem. LPG is quite widely spreaded in Poland, just completly unlike Germany, where we almost not have LPG, but they sell here natural gas.
Regards

TOPIC STARTER | | Taking a taxi from Balice Airport | Nov 22, 2005 |
Hi All,
For those of you who arrive by airplane to Balice Airport (Krakow): we have made an arrangement with one of the taxi corporations by which you can either call from your mobile or (toll free) public phone and order a taxi. Please dial +48 12 9663 (from mobile) or 0-800 44 44 44 (from public phone) and ask a taxi to Balice Airport. As a contact name please say “Proz.com”. It takes about 10-15 minutes for taxi to arrive and they will wait for you in front of Arrival Hall (look for the 9663 logo on the vehicle).
The fare should be approx. PLN 60 (80 at night hours).
Hope it's helpful!

| | online map of Krakow? | Nov 23, 2005 |
hi, I haven't followed the discussion and I was wondering if anyone has a link to an online map of Krakow (best one that I can print out, so I don't have to open my computer each time I want to search for a street). Thanks a lot.

But I hope this one will do it for you. Please observe, that you will need Java installed on your PC and must confirm a security certificate to start the applet.
Regards
Jerzy
PS
It seems, that I found some better maps:
Here one for the inner city, and here one for the big city.

| | Change money - attention with commission | Nov 24, 2005 |
I arrived yesterday, the hotel room is fine, personal is friendly. 
Changing cash: I got less money in a bank (airport)because of a commission of 5%. I have seen a lot of kantor here near Rybek Glowna who change euro without commission.
The hotel is very far from the centrum (4km). 
A taxi from the hotel to the city costs appr. 20 zloty.
If you wanna walk be prepared that there is a lot of traffic (polluted air). The first little busstop on the right side: no direct bus to the centrum. Go further, on the left side (with a lot of kiosks) you will find the busstop for the 105 to the centrum. Ticket (kiosk) 2,50 Zloty and on the bus 3,- Zl.
See you this evening at 8 p.m. at the restauracja Pod Aniolami (Ulica Grodzka) which is easy to find.Byebye!

I am planning to attend the conference and have started looking into travel options. We're not spoilt for choice here in Riga, but LOT seem to have quite a reasonable offer, with the option of taking a connecting flight to Krakow.
Then again, Polish trains are wonderful, so I'd much prefer to take the train from Warsaw.
Am I right in thinking that the journey takes around 2.5 hours? Is the cost around 70 - 120 PLN?
