How to get to the hotel?
From Ferihegy Airport:
Take the
``Airport Minibus'' shuttle service. They have service desks in the arrivals
hall (turn right as you leave the customs area). When buying the ticket at the
desk you have to state your destination (i.e. the name and address
of the hotel). They start a minibus (8-seater) when cca 6 people
going approximately in the same direction are gathered. Typically
one has to wait cca 5-10 minutes. The fare between the airport and the city is HUF 1800
(that is cca EUR 7).
(Return tickets are sold at HUF
3300, it is worth buying a return ticket. You will use it
when leaving.)
You may also take a taxi, but that could cost cca threetimes as much.
If you want to use the public transportation:
Go to this
site. However, we strongly
suggest that on your arrival you take a minibus or (if you do not arrive at the airport)
a taxi to the hotel.
How to get to the conference venue from the hotel:
A bus will pick you up each morning of the conference to take you to the Institute. You can also go on your own using public transportation, but the morning traffic is usually quite heavy.
If you are staying at Hotel Tiliana, you will receive breakfast at the hotel each morning.
During the conference days (Monday to Friday) there will be organized lunch. (Details later...)
There will be no arrangement for daily joint dinner.
WARNING!
When going out for
dinner: especially in some inner-city restaurants check carefully the menu-list
and prices before ordering. Some restaurants have really bad fame of
overcharging the naive foreigner.
Conference Dinner:
We plan to organise a (not very formal) conference dinner for Wednesday evening. But this is still to be settled.
You must buy your bus/tram/trolley/metro tickets in advance. You can buy them in the underground stations, in railway stations etc. One single ticket costs HUF 170, for a booklet of ten tickets you pay HUF 1450, for a booklet of twenty you pay HUF 2800. (A ticket is valid for one ride only. If you change, you have to validate a new one.) You can also buy a travel card valid for three, resp., seven consecutive days for HUF 2700, resp., HUF 3100.
You can find the homepage of the public transport system here .
WARNING!
When using public
transport: beware of pickpockets.
the Hungarian currency is called Forint (HUF)
Today's rate:
24. 04. 2004.
EUR 1.00 = HUF 250
USD 1.00 = HUF 191
You can change money
on arrival at the airport or in the railway stations, probably the rate is
slightly less favorable than in banks or cash-dispensers (ATMs). At the airport and
all over the city there are cash-dispenser machines (ATMs) which accept all major credit cards. This is certainly the best
choice for geting local money. You can also normally use your credit card in
restaurants and larger shops.
Banks are open usually Monday to Friday 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.
If you have any other question/problem do not hesitate to ask the organisers.
