How to get to
Travel to Gdynia by plane:
The Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport (https://www.airport.gdansk.pl) (IATA:GDN) is the third largest airport in Poland and it is located in approx. 20 km distance from our conference venue in Gdynia.
There are number of travel options from the airport to your final destination, mostly depending on time of your arrival:
- bus lines to Gdansk city/Sopot city,
- local trains to Gdansk or Gdynia leaving from platforms located just at the front of the terminal,
- taxi.
The easiest way is to take a taxi. A taxi lot is located at the front of the of the terminal. The best option is to take taxi waiting at the taxi lot. The price to the Gdynia city center should not exceed 30 EUR depending on day/night fare. Please, remember that we still have our own currency (Polish Złoty, 1EUR~4.7PLN). ATMs are located inside the terminal. Most of taxi drivers are accepting credit cards but it is better to ask in advance.
