Everything you say agrees with my experience, Maysara, except I bought a 3 zl ticket on the bus and then validated it.
Many of us are in the Dom Muzyka complex (WikiSym venue, hotel and music school dorms). ** Also, (per Phoebe) please note: for anyone relying on the "in your pocket" Gdansk map -- the location of the Dom Muzyka on this map is INCORRECT. The Dom M. is at the corner of Lakowa and the highway. See Google Map http://tinyurl.com/32ezc38 -- or, after walking through the long street walk over the bridge (take Stągiewna then turn right onto Lakowa). More than a 15-20 min walk from the train station for me, but there are lots of lovely distractions on the way. :) -Jodi On Tue, Jul 6, 2010 at 7:59 AM, Maysara Omar <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > It's obvious that no one yet knows “where exactly” to go once in Gdansk. > Most probably this information will be communicated to us soon.
