Global Summit 2011/Logistics

Venue

The Summit will take place in the historic Pałac Prymasowski (the Primates Palace).

The Palace is a large, historic venue, with grand halls, smaller workshop rooms and a garden, built during the 16th century. It sits in the heart of Warsaw's Old Town, in walking distance of multiple historic monuments, cafes and restaurants.

The Palace is also located in walking distance from main public transport routes, with easy access to subway, buses and trams.

We will have use of the whole ground floor of the complex for the entire three days of the Summit, giving us plenty of room to spread out, arrange impromptu meetings, or just take a break.

A strong, open wifi connection will be provided at the venue.

Accommodations

There are multiple hotels located in the center of Warsaw, either in walking distance from the venue or reachable with a short taxi or public transport ride. MDM, Metropol and Polonia hotels will be used by CC staff and participants receiving CC scholarships to attend the summit.

Getting from/to airport

Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport is located on the outskirts of Warsaw, about 10 km from the center of the city, which can be reached by taxi or public bus.
