Hi,
ATM's have the best exchange rates that you can get but you should check
with your bank the foreign ATM charges they levy and just calculate if it is
worth it for the amount of money you plan on spending.

Hi,
Are ATMs in the Gdansk requires handling charge, aside from the
amount you withdraw? As far as I remember, that of Buenos Aires
and Ho Chi Minh City charged withdrawal. (e.g. If you withdraw
10 zloti, it'd be recorded as withdrawal of 12 zloti.)

I'd rather you exchange your currency at a forex compared to an ATM at which
you are clueless of the rates that they charge.AJ

These are indeed prevalent in the old town. Keep in mind that they do
not normally cash traveler's checks, though.

Hi,
When we arrive in Gdansk, will there be an Wikimania 2010 official at the

ourselves?

Hello Pheobe, and thank you for all the information. Just one question; is
there a cheaper way than a taxi to get to where the check in will be taking

The airport website lists bus lines 110 and 210 as going to two different
train stations. They both stop on many stations on the way.
If someone could point out where to get off before the final destination so

Guys,
it's like this. The old town is very centralized; the venue is in (actually
across the canal from) the old town. The main roads run *around* the old
town. So as far as I know you cannot get off the bus at the venue. The train
