- public transportation in Warsaw: tickets and route planner
- A map with recommended restaurants around the conference
venue:
- Veturilo --- a public bicycle sharing system in Warsaw.
- The weather in Warsaw in March is quite unpredictable. One can expect the temperature during the day to be anything between 0C / 32F and 15C / 59F. There is a considerable chance of rain and a small chance of snow. See also: weather forecast.
- Internet and phones: the city of Warsaw provides free wireless internet in some parts of the historical center. A simple way to get cheap internet and local phone calls on your mobile device is to buy a prepaid card (e.g. the Orange Free card). Prepaid cards are available at most of the newsstands and work immediately after purchase (no registration is required). If you need a special type of a SIM card (e.g. "nano") then you may need to go to a telecom shop (e.g. Orange has one at Nowy Świat 35).
- If you want to spend some more time in Poland then Cracow is just 2.5 hours from Warsaw by a high-speed train.
