Helpful Clues

In order to facilitate your stay in Szczecin, we would like to provide you with some helpful information.
 

Public transport

Szczecin has a dense network of trams and  buses  which is convenient to use. Hotels listed in the Accommodation page are all at walking distance from the conference site. But if you would like to use trams and/or buses, you just need to buy a 15-minute ticket for 2 PLN.

You can buy tickets at one of the ubiquitous kiosks around the city, at ticket machines inside most of the trams (enter the front coach, payment by card or coins) and buses or at ticket machines on the main interchange tram stops. If the ticket machine inside a tram does not work, you can also buy a ticket from the conductor using coins.

You need to validate tickets you bought out of the vehicle by stamping them once in one of validation machines inside a tram or bus. Tickets bought inside a tram or bus are already validated.

Bus and tram stops that are marked with “nż” (= “na żądanie”) are stops on request. You need to press one of the stop buttons inside a bus (or tram) to exit there and when you wait for a bus at an “nż” stop, you need to wave your arm in order to make the bus stop.

Caution:  For night busses, which use a number like  5xx all stops are on request!

Remark: Do not use busses marked with a letter (A to E). These are express busses and cost twice as much.

 

Here we provide some few routes:

  • From Szczecin bus/train station (Szczecin Główny, Ul. Kolumba) to Hotel Focus (Ul. Małopolska 23): just in front of the main entrance of the station, go to the tram stop "Dworzec Główny 15", take tram line 6 - direction "Gocław"; after approximately 5 minutes, exit at tram stop "Bulwar Piastowski nż 13", and walk for 200 meters (Google Maps link);
  • From Szczecin bus/train station (Szczecin Główny, Ul. Kolumba) to plac Rodła (one of the main transport interchange squares; Radisson Blu Hotel is also located there): just in front of the main entrance of the station, go to the tram stop "Dworzec Główny 15", take tram line 3 - direction "Wojciechowskiego"; after approximately 9 minutes, exit at tram stop "Plac Rodła 34" (Google Maps link);
  • From plac Rodła to Szczecin bus/train station (Szczecin Główny, Ul. Kolumba): go to the tram stop "Plac Rodła 11", take tram line 3 - direction "Pomorzany"; after approximately 10 minutes , exit at tram stop "Dworzec Główny 14" (Google Maps link).

 

Taxi service

Moving through Szczecin by taxi is another option, because still quite cheaper than other cities. From/to the station the cost should not exceed 20 PLN to/from any of the hotels listed in the Accommodation page. We strongly recommend to choose a taxi from reliable companies like e.g. Taxi4You (if you do not find one of their taxis, you can order one by calling +48 914 833 833), City TaxiRadio Taxi or Mix Taxi.
