How to reach the University main campus by car:
The University main campus is a traffic-restricted area and conference participants who do not hold a University permit will not be able to access it by car. Please be aware that Krakowskie Przedmieście is located within the car-free zone and it is relatively difficult to find a convenient parking spot in the area. The entire city center is a paid-parking zone (3 zł for the first hour, about 25 zł for 8 hours). We advise participants who will arrive by car to use one of the parking lots in the city center and reach the University by taxi or public transportation.
